AMartin Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Hi all, Cambelt has snapped on my car, what is the likelyhood that it has messed up the engine? Also I cannot seem to find a defintive answer on if the engine is a interface or non-interface... just alot of speculation... Any help would be great Cheers Quote
H_D Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) if its a turbo engine (4efte) they are non interferance engines so your valves and pistons will be fine. Edited July 9, 2013 by H_D Quote
akyakapotter Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Non interference if it hasn't had to many skims Quote
AMartin Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Cheers for replies guys... I have no idea on the skims... Car is pretty much standard not that it means anything. Do you think it would be worth the gamble on replacing the belt hoping that the engine is ok? by the way yea its turbo engine. Edited July 9, 2013 by AMartin Quote
akyakapotter Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 ^^^ no harm in trying you'll never no till do it Quote
daniel_g Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Probably wont have had a skim before, if the HG hasnt went that is ? Replace the belt and you should be sound mate Quote
AMartin Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 Haha good point! No idea if the head gasket has ever been done... got no history on the car... mileage is about 167,000 km, not that it means anything once again. Think I may try and get the belt replaced then Thanks for the help guys Quote
AdamB Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 You'll soon know if anything has happened. Put a new belt on, time it up and rotate the engine, if you don't hear no funny noises then happy days Quote
