Belt didnt snap, it slipped which can be worse.
If the belt snaps the valves then stay in that position and what ever is in the wrong position gets broken. When it slips, EVERYTHING can get broken as the valves are still moving but in the wrong position!
Thankfully I was going slow and I killed engine straight away. One valve hot the piston but no damage
AbyssDJ:
so its not critical then? reason i ask is because i dont know when our timing belt was last done, and i cant afford to pay for a garage to do it/dont have the space or knowledge to do it myself....
everywhere that we've remotely spoke to about it before has said, in not so many words, if it breaks you'll need a new engine...
sounded like a very extreme outcome to me...
landyman Ash:
Depends......
Usually it will just blow top end. However depends on circumstances. My mates 300tdi snapped its belt at 75mph, piston hit the valve, snapped it and it dropped into engine. By the time be'd stop the valve had scored the piston so badly he needed a new block!!!
Its rare that happens but bare it in mind. :wink:
extreme90:
any1 had there cam timing gear retaining bolt shear yet? thus resulting in cam goin bi bi's back into the block ?
makes quite a mess and resulted in pushrods in s shapes
but the gud old girl still ran believe it or not
piccy 2 follow if interested of cam and all the broken bits :lol:
