yes very much so it happened to me
If the motor is an interference fit(usually 4cylinders are) a broken timing belt would bend the valves.
It's highly likely that the valves and piston have touched, as with most modern 16v engines. I'd replace the timing belt, then try turning it over by hand, if that works see if it will start. It is however unlikely to start, so it will then require the cylinder head removing to replace the damaged valves. Check everything in the timing belt area; tensioner, idler, water pump etc, as damage or failure of any of these could have caused the timing belt to break
looking for the timing marks corsa c 1.2 16v
next to the timing belt ?
No. the 1.6 and 1.8 corolla motors are what we call non interference or freewheeling. this means that if the timing belt breaks the chance of engine damage is highly unlikely.
Yes, I have Just had the timing belt snap on mine and some of the valves were bent by the pistons.
Priceless
what milesage to chang a timing belt on a peogoet 307 hatchback 1.4 16v petrol
150.000km 10 years
If there has been a timing belt failure the pistons are probably damaged, the engine will probably need to be rebuilt.
60.000 miles should change cambelt.
Where are the timing marks on fiat 1.2 16v
