Ok, so a mates 2.0 cdti with the grey TI an 09 plate has been fobbed of by a garage saying they cant do the work it cant be done etc etc.
Found snapped cambelt almsot clean snap and the exahsut side cam mvoing freely about.
Cam cover off and as you can see the cam has snapped after No1 and its taken some followers with it.
What im asking is this, do these have a tendency to snap camshofts as the force on that poor cambelt must have been alot and everything rotates freely and the belt wa sin great condition. Its a 102k engine allways been looked after.
Trying to get to the bottom of this as cheaply as possible so it might be possible to use the camcover and cams from my old Z19DTH. Anyone done this as it would be a cheaper fix than buying a new cam and i can use the old followers if there all the same parts?
Trouble is doing all this will be an amount of work and we dont really want it to get back together to find it does not work and needs a new engine or the head to come off.
Can anyone advise? @Critch
