i take it were talking Renault here if so definitely not bent at best bent valves or worse could of done the piston in if you buy a french car eg Peugeot 1.8 2.0 etc same on a Renault 1.8 2.0 etc if people say tapets are noisey don't touch with a barge pole as this is a common sign of a cam belt that has snapped and hasn't been repaired properly and the most expensive and common fault on scenics is the gearboxs £2000 by Renault
No.
Its a safe engine so no damage will be done..just fit another belt and tensioner and away you go.. This is a non interference engine so if the timing belt snaps, the only damage is the belt itself. This means that you can fit a new belt, time the engine and continue
I would say it is safe to assume that your 1.6 Scenic has a 1.6 L engine in it.

Yes. 03 Sienna should have a VVTI engine ( a 1MZ FE with vvti ) which is an interference engine and the valves will hit the piston if it snaps at higher RPM. Pre 01 Siennas have non VVTI 1MZ FE motors, and those are non-interference, therefore safe.
supposed to be 105,000 miles i would do it at like 90,000 to be safe, because it is an interference engine and if the belt brakes you will need a new engine.
Provided the belt does not break, yes it will be safe....but if the belt breaks, then you will ruin your engine.
From what I've seen on the web and in my Haynes manual (I do Own a 95 Contour, 4-banger) The Zetec engine is a non-interference engine. Meaning you won't wreck the engine's head if the timing belt goes... But, just to be on the safe side, have it replaced. When they had to do my water pump (driven by the timing belt), I had them change the belt, along with the tensioner pulley, just to be on the safe side.
This is an interference engine and if the belt breaks you will more than likely have internal engine damage. Replace the belt every 105,000 miles or every 10 years whichever comes first.
It is not safe to work under the vehicle iff it is running.
Interference engine You better get that belt changed.
The 2000 Toyota Camry four-cylinder is not an interfere engine. However you should replace the timing belt every 90,000 miles in order to not be stranded when it breaks.
