The problem you are going to have now is the fact you supplied your own parts !

I will not fit customer supplied parts on a job like this for this very reason.

I would suspect either the tensioner or idler has failed, causing the issue.

If it is a part you have supplied that has failed, then YOU will have to pay for the labour again and claim it back from the manufacturer of where you have bought the parts from. If it is off ebay, then good luck !

We did a clutch on a zt for a customer, and he bought this performance clutch off ebay. we fitted it even though i advised the customer against it, and the car didnt even make 200 miles before this super dooper clutch failed. So another lot of labour, plus the price of an oe clutch and he only got the cost of the previously purchased clutch, and no payment for labour to replace the broken item.

Car will probably get written off if it needs a new engine if the garage take responsibility.
