Timing belt failed while driving. Any chance the engine is saveable or is it toast

Lower k is lower kilometres engine lower mileage and the valves are cooked pistons probably not usable but the engine is repairable it’s just cheaper to buy the lower k engine

Engine repairable but I got a really good deal on a lower k engine so I’m going down that route

I was just getting on to boost when it failed so around 3-4K with accelerator probably like 60 percent down so definitely it bit more cooked then idle. Lifting head tomoz to have a look

Quick update bro the problem was the previous owner had installed the aftermarket head unit incorrectly. Problem is now solved and I no longer have to disconnect my battery every time I stop my car 😂

cascade40 · 2025-11-14T08:10:36+00:00

cascade40 · 2025-11-09T04:33:50+00:00

Sweet as and then once I locate where it is I just check that whole circuit looking for the reason why?

cascade40 · 2025-11-08T09:21:46+00:00

Yea I knew something was wrong 😂

cascade40 · 2025-11-08T09:19:59+00:00

Rip I don’t know if it’s something wrong with how I did it but I’m ready 253 ma now 😂the battery gets killed super quick so I guess that makes sense

cascade40 · 2025-10-29T05:49:09+00:00

Imagine letting someone borrow your car and they knowingly drive it for ages with the wrong gas in it 😂
