Funny! I had the exact same situation over here in Germany. I asked the guy prior to buying when the timing belt had been changed last. He told me 200% it was a timing chain.Turned out he was wrong and I ended up spending 500+ Euros to get it changed after buying! 🤦🏻♂️

HI , i have this car and after cutting out and not starting i have found the timing belt has snapped, before i go putting a fully engine in it i am going to try just replace the belt and hope for the best, could you advise on how i would re time the engine ?since the belt has snapped. any help is much appreciated thanks.
@MrAutoFixer10 ай бұрын
Hey 👋 sounds like a nightmare! But to get it back it time get cylinder 1 to TDC and make sure the crank timing marks line up, then get the cam timing marks to line up and you should be good to give it a try, hope that helps 👍
@scottd199910 ай бұрын
Thanks for replying, so would i just use the bolt on the crank shaft to get cylinder 1 to TDC , then is it alright to put socket on cam shaft bolt to rotate that so the timing marks line up on camshaft pulley? obviously because belt has snapped i can't rotate both at the same time with only using the crank shaft bolt. @@MrAutoFixer

Yh I understand how people have a fear about it as it can be a very big problem, that first turn of the key is always a bum twitcher lol but I do my very best to triple check every one I do and I’ve done hundreds now I just hope I never get that issue!
