    Engine louder after timing belt change

    Did the timing belt about 400 miles ago on my 2012 1.8L. Now it's louder than normal. I used the gates kit from rockauto for the swap. New tensioner and pulley and belt. See video for noise. Thanks! https://youtube.com/shorts/shrrHcsgBKE?feature=share
