breaking in new belts?

[TypeG]

I just had my timing belt and water pump changed at the dealership and now my engine has a really annoying vibration. Do you think they messed up the timing or something? It accelerates the same as it did before but ib vibrates like a cell phone. Everything in my rear view mirror looks all blurry from the vibrations. It sucks.

you better take it back. later.

Sounds very like the balance shaft belt has been incorrectly re-installed. If one or both of the the balance shafts are incorrectly 'timed' then not only won't they (or it) not be counteracting the normal straight four engine vibration, they'll be adding vibration...

okay cool thats what it thought but i wanted to be sure so my accelerator is suppose to be tight?

It's not supposed to feel stiff. If it does then the problem could be in the cable, or at the throttle body, or at the pedal.

I took it back and they checked they're work. Sure enough the stupid mechanic had the balance way off. It runs super smooth now Now I just gotta find out what's killing my fuel economy.
