If yours has snapped you need more than a cambelt kit thats for sure!!! Presuming you know the head will need rebuilding as the valves and pistons will have hit each other?  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

get the head off and get it looked at an head engineering shop and check all the valves, also make sure your bottom pulley hasn't rotated so the timing marks are out. they are known for the rubber inside to move in relation to the outer steel pulley. You might consider an engine change as a cheaper alternative and sell your bits to get some money back. the last head I had done cost about 450-550 plus new belt... ________________________________________ 306 less for first time in nearly 7 years. Lets keep it that way... please refuse any offers i make to buy your 306 ( doctors letter supplied by request)Marmite and cheese sandwiches anyone???

Valve guides and seats will need checking too As Andy says,not a cheap job if there is alot of valves bent  Obviously you need to consider price of headgasket kit,labour too if you can't remove head yourself ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

Matt did your belt actually snap or did it just slip? From what I saw it had only slipped! |

Bender! I started this before I knew the details, it's a mega mash up to be fair.    For anyone who hasn't seen the damage |
