I think this needs changing...

After the AA guy diagnosed the PH1 with a faulty ECU and or Loom, I replaced them and it still didn't start. So I started to dig and thought I would check what I assumed was the issue when it happened and what do you know. Slipped timing and bent valves sounds about right.








New engine time

How the hell can he mistake that for needing a new ECU :S

so you got the belts changed at the required times :dapprove:

Time of belt change has nothing to do with that failure Im sure, looks more like something has fallen in like a bolt or whatever and rubbed against the belt.

Yeah looks like it's shredded from underneath

There is nothing wrong with that, Your lucky you have the bit of belt that has come away, bit of glue and you will be fine mate

I told the guy all I wanted was home recovery but he insisted he wanted a look lol Mind you he spent an hour looking so hats off to him (He assumed it was a 1.2 at first)

I think if it was age it would be consistent across the belt, it looks like something's came loose and chewed the belt. When it happened I lost power and I heard a light knocking - I was sure it was timing going so just pulled over and turned it off.

I'm all for a giggle but that's not even funny. I think just for that you should pay for his new head.

pot kettle black

No offence op, that does suck hope you get it sorted

 

[mantis946]

None taken, this is one of three (eek) so luckily I had other car's to use. I've got an engine on the bench so hopefully I'll have it out on the lift this weekend and see what's salvageable (Watch this space for the mess!)

 

[The Dominator]

LOL that is real bad luck any ideas as to what has shredded it?

 

[mantis946]

Nothing obvious mate, couldn't see any bolts etc

I'm sure once it's out, it will stand out though - I nearly died when I took the mount off (Then swore a lot at not going with my gut feeling)

On a serious note, calm down it was a joke people have said worse the op clearly has no issue...drop it

 

[Silent_Scone]

too late I just hulked out.

Or maybe I was joking when I suggested you buy him a new head? Just an afterthought

 

[The Dominator]

Dam I took that seriously. Best cancel that paypal gift

 

[mantis946]

Took a while due to the bad weather but I managed to get the head off today:












Pistons seems to have taken more of a beating then the valves, but luckily the head is actually nion mint which I'm happy about. I actually expected more destruction !
