Default Timing belt problem, please help!
I started my car today, and immediately as engine started I heard a loud rattling noise from under the hood.
The noise was coming from the timing belt! It is loose and rattles against it's plastic cover!
Any ideas what it could be?
I was stupid enough to try to drive it -- it drives ok, no noises except of the timing belt rattling...

Default Change it, before it snaps, and you need to change engines! ;O)

Thanks! Is it a good idea to buy timing-belt kit and rent the tools from audiquattroparts.com?
