Cambelt noises on 854

[Pliskin]

Hi and a very Happy New Year to everyone.

Just a quick one with regards to the timing belt on my 96 854, which hs 111K on it and on these cold and frosty mornings, for want of a better description, sounds like part of it might be catching on the inside of the cover.

Once it is warmed up it is hardly noticable. The belt and tensioners were replaced about 2 years/ 6K miles ago.

Should I stop using the car until I can get belt looked at or is something that has been heard of before?
