Just had my car in to the garage. to have a full service - brand new water pump fitted and timing belt change. got the car back and its as flat as a fart. not happy as i could possibly be overtaken by a moped now. any ideas wot it could be????? i thort it may be timed up wrong at first if so how do i get it re done?????

could be a tooth or two out on the belt mate

how do i go about finding which tooth is out tho. ???

YOU Don't!!-take the fooker back! ;)

no not in "tooth out" but the cams must be lined up with the index marks including crank as belt is fitted to achieve correct valve timing

dont drive it!!!!!

it may die......very quickly!

was it not flat when you pulled out of the garage? i would be straight back and get it looked over, sounds possible the timing is retarded. I would make it priority though! it could of been fine when it left the garage and perhaps the tensioner has moved or sprung back to create slack! wouldnt want valves saying hello to your pistons :(

Yes take it back asap and ask them to check the timing of the four cams not just with a strobe light !
