Failed Tensioner
My tensioner failed last week. It was the bearing, apparenently it seized. Please note I had the new style tensioner the cam belt was replace a month ago. So a word of warning for all, when changing the Cam Belt, I would recommend you change the tensioner and the bearing. If you hear the metallic sounds as mentioned below, get it checked immediately.
The car was making a horrible metallic tapping sound and it fail soon after the sound started.
I lifted the Cam Cover off a little bit and saw ball bearing all over the place and some even dropped onto the floor.
I had to get a tow truck and dropped it off at the workshop.
