Hello! does anybody know the answer to my question? ones again:is the engine destroyed if toothed belt is teared? i know there are cars like the vw golf II where the engine isnt destroyed because the valves dont reach to the piston. many thanks Felix



ps: i hope you can understand what i mean. i dont know all this special vocabulary.


It is unlikely to be damaged. You will know when you fit a new belt and do a compression test.
