I Broke my timing belt! lol! help

[dpmcf]

I drive a mk1 98 1.2 Biarritz,
The timing belt broke while i was driving it, i fitted a new timing belt but when i try to turn the engine over, there is a clunking sound and it dies out again. What all is likely to be recked?- as i havent taken off the head yet.
inlet valves? exhaust valves? please dont say pistons!

thanks, David

Scrap it now and buy another car, be a lot cheaper than fixing it!

lol, il be fixing it though, theres only 60k on the car and she went great before i bust it. I could deal fine with valves but pistons would be a hastle. you think the pistons are gone?

oh what tosh, those valves are about £4 each and it's one of the simplest engines the world has ever seen

most likely valves that are bent only mate. pistons are less likely to bend.

thanks very much, i really like the we car and im happy working at it myself. ill try and get the head off next week

remove head, inspect valve and seats.

check pistons for contact with valves, make decision from there.

Should always remove the head after a snapped belt to inspect any damage

i very much doubt pistons are damaged, i took a head off a mk3 golf 16v last year, and changed all the valves as the belt stripped the teeth off, the valves bad proper bent, pistons were fine

def pop the head off and check though as it sounds like you have bent a few valves there
