Hopefully nothing. Put a new belt on and try it.
if you turned the engine off IMMEDIATLY after the belt broke, you should be ok. If, however, the engine ran for any amount of time with the belt broke - you probably have quite a bit of damange ...
TAKE A WRENCH AND TURN THE ENGINE VERY SLOWLY. IF IT STOPS TURNING YOU BENT A VALVE.
A timing belt failure normally trashes the engine.
i HAVE A 98 AND THE BELT BROKE TWICE AND DID NO DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. The first time I was on freeway doing 75 and it broke. I have a '97 Contour and had no damage to the engine when my timing belt broke. Make sure you check your pulleys to ensure that the bearings are good. Mine were not and had to replace them.
The Dodge Caliber has a timing chain, not a timing belt.
depends on if the timing belt broke or not.... if the car was running and it broke there is a good chance you will need to do heads valves etc. on the dodge neons there is a zero tollerance clearance. About 1500.00 to 2000.00 if it broke while running About 150.00 to 200.00 if you replace it before it breaks
If the timing belt breaks on any engine the damage to the engine is usually very bad.
Yes
yes!!!! if your timing belt is cracked or split, you should get it in asap! if your timing belt has broken the damage done all depends on what happened to break it/what were you doing when it broke? if you were driving when it happened ( not stopped) there will be extensive damage done if your car was on but you were stopped not as much damage.
If you think your Timing Belt broke DO NOT try to crank your car, if you continue to crank you car with a severed timing belt you will cause more damage. The only way you can tell for sure if the timing belt broke is to remove the upper timing cover and inspect the belt. If you see a naked cam sprocket your timing belt has broken and you will most likely need a top end engine rebuild.
Yes, it is an interference engine.
Yes, this is an interference engine. Belt should have been replaced at 105,000 miles. You more likely than not, have internal engine damage if the belt broke. The water pump is also driven by the belt. Replace the pump at the same time as the belt to save future labor costs.
