Author	Subject: Snapped cambelt
lurch86 Senior User Location: Herne Bay, Kent Registered: 22 Nov 2010 Posts: 505 Status: Offline	Post #1 Hello, I was considering going to have a look at a gti6 that had a snapped cambelt. Whats the norm when the cambelt snaps with these engines? Just valves possibly or is it more likely to have eaten the pistons? Cheers ________________________________________ Wanted list...

Post #2 Theres not a lot of Valve clearance on these at all so when It goes pop it tends to do it properly I have owned 2 of these that had previous where snapping is concerned, both Bills for fixing were 1k plus... depends on how handy you are with the spanners. ________________________________________ Almost standard 1999 Bianca Rallye Hilux InvincibleX daily 306 No.13 Carp and specialist Anglers Click here

I also have a 2.0ltr xsi head if there the same... ________________________________________ Wanted list... (P.m me if you have any) Rollcage. Strut Braces.
