Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Timing belt problen

I am interested in buying a car but was told the timing belt went in it and was replaced. Could the timing belt going have any damage to other parts of the engine.

If a timing belt fails, the whole engine can be destroyed.
I assume they meant the belt was replaced when it was due to be replaced. At least I hope so anyway.... :eek:

What car is it? Some engines are non-interference (e.g. Mazda B engine found in 121, 323, Demio, MX-3, MX-5, Kia Pride), which are not likely to get damaged by timing belt failure.
