Recently the timing belt on my car broke and when it broke some of the valves were damaged. The dealer fixed all of it but when I got my car back it would run really rough unless I was accelerating fast. I hit a pothole and all of a sudden it started running normal again but there is still a whine coming from the engine compartment that is especially noticable when idling. It sounds pulley related.

most likely you have a belt that is breaking or loose, or you could have an oil leak that's dripping on a belt....

sturdy deal of subject concerns this may well be. Rear axle very finalchronic, potential-shafts and confident the bearings - sound like whoever did those for you in all probability did no longer be attentive to the thank you to diagnose the whine. Bearings will whine constantly, the finalchronic and shafts will basically whine mutually as shrink than rigidity from the engine the two contained for the duration of acceleration or engine braking. to trychronic the motorized vehicle at approximately 50 mph - stab the throttle - yet no longer sufficient to tutor on the kick-down, if the noise gets worse this is reasonably in all probability to be thechronic axle. next at approximately 60 mph knock the motorized vehicle into independent and use the brakes basically to decelerate - if the noise seems now this is thechronic-shafts. this is all approximately making use of rigidity to the climate that are in all probability to be making the noise.

I"m guessing they didn't tention the timing belt correctly and the whining is coming from under the timing cover. The only other possibility is that either the timing cover is hitting the belt or pulley

Sounds to me like a loose alternator belt. Tensioner may be bad or weak. Check the amount of deflection inbetween pulleys.

your water pump , power sterring pump , and alternater all have bearings , Remove the belt and turn the pulley to see how it feels and sounds . and if the dealer fixed it and it ran rough untill you hit a pothole and now it runs ok , you need to take it back to see whats loose ect. for that to happen

http://www.themotorbookstore.com/ If you get a book from that site for your care it'll have a trouble shooting section in it and you can look under the hood yourself and see what it could be. It's a pretty good way to go about maintaining your car because you get to know it. It may save some money too.

I seen it a million times mechanics trying to work quick not smart and they over tightening your timeing belt tensioner. My advise to you is take it back to the shop that repaired it and tell them whats wrong.

sounds like they didn't do the timing belt right..if it's not in tune it could do damage to your motor..take it back to the dealership and tell them what it's doing and what it was doing..they should have to fix it

You didn't state the year, make, and model of your vehicle. But, by the sounds of things, it sounds like they've OVERTIGHTENED your timing belt tensioner.

either ur altinator or water pump is out of it. A noise like that is a start of something about to go out.
