yes engine damage will occur should the timing belt snap in service
If there has been a timing belt failure the pistons are probably damaged, the engine will probably need to be rebuilt.
Hi No the 1.o ltr 12v engine has a timing chain which should last the life of the engine.
no it is fully and completely interference, cambelt snap will mean engine rebuild, lots of bent and broken valves and so forth
I take it you mean 1.2 16V ? It doesnt have a cambelt , it has a cam chain , which "should" last the life of the engine, there is no recommended change schedules of the chain. If it gets noisy....change it quick !
The 2001 PT Cruiser with a 2.4 liter engine has a zero tolerance or interference engine. This means that if any of the timing components fail, the engine itself will because severely damaged.
60,000 Mls. is recommended by Daewoo.
cambelt should be changed at 70,000 miles , i was quoted £360 at Renault main dealer for cambelt change only , but had cambelt plus water pump changed for £357 at an independent garage.
Your Lumina 2001 engine light might come on while the radiator fan is working because the fan is turning too slowly, is damaged, or is not cooling the engine correctly.
That is the check engine light. It stays on when the computer has detected an emissions related failure.
The sensor has failed or there is damaged wiring, which is not as rare as you might think.
Pcm Internal processor failure. The engine computer needs replaced.
This vehicle has a timing chain fitted.
