How fast were you driving when it snapped?
#3: Re: urgent help please Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 3:13 pm ---- Buy a new car. The 1.9D is s**t anyway.
#4: Re: urgent help please Author: geddernley, Location: chesterfieldPosted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 3:19 pm ---- About 10mph if that to be honest
#5: Re: urgent help please Author: Mrs_Howey, Location: WorthingPosted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 3:21 pm ---- I would think you might be ok and you might get away with just replacing the cam belt and water pump, it's worth having it checked though Sorry i can't help much more but nothing can be certain without seeing it
Lee Shhhh!

The 1.9 diesel normally snaps the camshaft in to 3 bits when the timing belt breaks
#8: Re: urgent help please Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Tue Feb 21, 2012 4:37 pm ---- If it does that to the camshaft what does it do to big end bearings? Flat spots on bearings is not good news either; usually results in bearings shot about 2,000 miles later. Do these Peugeots do that?
