Need a Motor

[44ficus44]

ficus-- Can you give details and confirm if the timing belt caused damage or not?
We have a non-interference engine, and as I understand it, when the timing belt blows, it does not damage/destroy the engine, so I really want to know what your scenario was. Thanks!!

yes i can kat. engine had 72,000 miles on it . timing belt lost 5 teeth, siezed the motor and bent the rods in. warped the heads etc. fluids were good, temp never went up. just siezed in the highway.

they are saying that alot of asian imports are doing that. even the newer jettas..

so if theres anyone in the 100,000+ miles.. id get that belt changed.
