Yep- bent valves, damaged pistons... The only way to prevent a timing belt failure it to change the belt every time you change the oil. When I bought my 16v, the PO said he had the belt changed 3k ago. I bought the car without a receipt for the repair. I called him 2-3 times a day until he sent the proof. _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
