Yes!
Well I really have no idea what a ldv is, but if your timing belt breaks and your engine is an interference engine there will be damage. If it is not an interference engine there will be no damage.
yes
an engine where, in the event that the timing is off or if the timing belt breaks, the pistons can collide with the valves and actually do damage.
Yes, when the belt breaks the engine will not run. In addition you will have internal engine damage if the engine was an interference engine.
yes this is an interference engine damage to valves will occur if the timing belt breaks and the engine is turned
If the timing belt on a 1.6 Astra breaks, it can damage the engine. It is more likely to damage the engine if it is a timing chain, though. A timing chain is made of metal and a timing belt is made of a heavy duty rubber.
Yes, it is an interference engine.
It has a timing belt. Replace at 60,000 miles. Warning: This is an interference engine. If the belt breaks serious engine damage will occur.
If the timing belt breaks on any engine the damage to the engine is usually very bad.
Oh yes!
On older 300ZX's equipped with a timing belt it will cause internal engine damage if the belt breaks as they are interference engines.
Depends on if the engine is an interference engine or not. When the Belt breaks on an interference engine, you will have internal engine damage. Bent valves, busted piston, cracked head, etc. Timing Chains rarely break and will give you ample warning that they are going to fail. Timing Belts on the other hand give no warning at all. They may even look good and still break. That is why it is imperative you replace a belt at the mileage listed in your owner's manual no matter what it looks like. On a non-interference engine if the belt breaks your engine will stop and you will be stranded and need a tow, but no engine damage will occur.
