January and not many miles, might have been a foreign object. I saw it the night before at the Ace Cafe. Shame but he has ripped the head off already to start the repair.
My cambelt and tensioners had 10.000 kilometers =( .
I think on tuesday ill have the car finished.
What caused your failure?

A bad mechanic....
ajcarter suspects something dropped in to the belt area as the crank pulley has damage on it...and there is no way a belt can do that.
Yeah, I read his thread on FCCUK, the belt damage appears to back up his theory about a bolt getting in there...looks like it's been holed and/or ripped. :(

in my case , something dropped inside the belt area and destroyed it, we couldnt find what was , i dont doubt of the mechanic because the car was recently bought and i never took the car to his place-
The belt has a cover, how does anything get in there?
:doh: dont know! i think in the lower part it has an opening. maybe there was something in there from the previous owner ( i bought that Q4 3 weeks before ) and after it broke the piece/part/bolt, whatever it was , went out via that opening. Because the belt has marks like something was touching it .Quote:
