Hi Guys
Sad to say that last week the cam belt has given up. I was moveing the car out of garage and started up fine after around 2 months standing. Gentle blip of the throttle and drove out of Garage, when it stated to miss and knock a little, unsure what it was I let it idle on the drive and it came to a dead stop, tryed the starter and sure enough no compression. My thinking is that the tensioner has given up as Quickly looking at to top of the belt it looks fine definitely loose. My question is, has anyone had experience with exactly what gets broken or bent on this 2.4 engine?
Sooooo disappointed in my self for letting it get to this stage as I pride my self on changing this kind of thing.
