yes
Certainly, it can be fixed. It won't be cheap.. especially not on a Euro car.
The 2001 Volkswagen Jetta has 8 valves.
Just a guess, as I don't own one of these; VW engines are minimal or zero-clearance, meaning that the valves will hit the top of the piston if they aren't working correctly. If the timing belt (which it tied in with the valve operation) breaks, some valves may be stuck in the open position, and they could be clobbered by the piston. If the timing belt was recently replaced, they might not have correctly timed the valves.
The engine on a Neon is interference, bent valves are likely.
Severe internal engine damage is possible. Bent valves likely.
i think you mean interference. it is NON interference. if the timing belt breaks, the valves dont hit the pistons
Yes, a good idea.
Yes, if the timing belt breaks on a 2001 Citroën Xsara Picasso 1.6 petrol model, it can cause the valves to bend. This is because the engine is likely to be an interference type, where the pistons and valves occupy the same space at different times. When the timing belt fails, the pistons can collide with the open valves, leading to potential damage. It's important to regularly maintain and replace the timing belt to avoid such issues.
chcek out your loacl partshouse and get a timing book
Major engine damage like bent valves. Better replace the belt. Trash the head on a 1.8 and expect to pay $2,000
if i remember correctly the 2001 still has an interference engine.....if your timing belt broke you surely pinged some valves.
50,000 and be sure to do it because the motor is an "interference" motor and if the belt breaks the valves will hit the pistons and then things get really expensive.
