G B L Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 How is the body? When a cam belt goes on a diesel engine the engine get really damaged, so it could cost a lot. The real question is how good is the TC and what is the replacement cost of comparable Van? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
correllbil Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) When an engine breaks a timing belt or chain while running, it can cause valves and pistons to come in contact. This will cause bent valves, broken pistons, and possibly broken camshaft. I was lucky once when I was driving my Ford Courier and the belt broke. All I had to do is replace the broken timing belt.
