another thought is that its idler or waterpump bearing. Im unclear if you used the timing tools or not. if you didn't and left them static then its possible that there is far too much tension on the belt either side of the waterpump.there are many variables to take into account between belt swops and components used on the job each time. once the two bolts are undone this allows the floating cams to give a much more balanced tension throughout the belts length. if not it puts the bearing under duress.this is one of the reasons I use the tools. many members have done this job without the tools successfully. its still a lottery without as many have then gone on to complain of waterpumps failing early sometimes this could be part of the reason. there is also the issue of nearly dry bearings from new. i.n.a or not things aint what they used to be !! keep us up to date if you find anything else !! regards xsport
