Default About the engine problem.. thanks for the help

Dunno if you guys remember but it was a few days back.. Had a problem that my car when idling sounded like a diesel truck.. It was so loud until the turbo kicked in and then that was all you could hear with the shuddering of the car.. I had many responses that it could be the CAT etc.. But it ended up being the timinig belt tensioner that went.. If I would have kept driving it they said the belt just would have snapped then no coverage, but I got it brought in right away. And when the tensioner went they could only order the package of the timing belt and the tensioner together.. So basically, warrenty covered the tensioner but since it broke and would have taken the belt with it I got a new timing belt and tensioner under warrenty.. worked out nicely in the end.. a new timing belt for $50 CDN for the work =)
Thanks for the help guys
