Cam belts and fan noise

Recommended Posts

I got the cam belt changed at 100k when I had an E36 318. after the operation, performed by an automotive tutor where I worked (UCOL), the fan was dreadfully noisy. He said it was normal and that's what Falcons do. I said the last thing I wanted was for my BMW to sound like a Ford. I sold the car not long afterwards, 'cos I couldn't live with the fan noise.

I've often wondered - what did he do wrong?
