If your cambelt teeth have deteriorated, your engine may have been damaged internally. When the engine is operated using the starter motor then engine may not turn at all, or will turn over quicker than normal because no compression pressure is being built up. Remove the spark plugs and do a compression test, if no compression then the cylinder head may need to be removed for repair. Recommend were any doubt exists that a garage is contacted for further advice.

Chain
How often do you need to change the cam belt on an Astre 1.6 club 2000 plate
The cam (timing) belt should last for the life of the vehicle. A Ford Ranger has a smaller motor, that with the right care, should not have to have the cam belt changed.
pre 2001 diesels and petrol engines were chain driven... cam belt change is not an issue
Never as it does not have a cam belt. The cam is driven by a chain that normally will last the life of the engine and requires no maintenance.
the cam/timing belt should be replaced at least every 60,000miles
Only the 2006 and older Kia Sorento uses a cam belt and that belt MUST be changed evey 60,000 mile. 2007 and newer use a cam chain.
The belt that you refer to is a self adjusting steel belt that is inside the engine. It does not need replacement.
It does not have a cam belt. It has a chain like all bmw's which never requires changing
Of course not.
no :)
