Title: Just had some news about my Mk2....
Post by: Speedydub on 20 May 2004, 16:40: ....Mechanic Nick replaced the belt & tensioner, but the valves are bent :-\

So he's ordered new uns, and I gotta ring him back in a couple of weeks to see if theres been any more damage found once he's taken the head apart.

Total cost so far...including valves.......?190 :o ;D

Post by: golfvr6 on 21 May 2004, 15:23: Apparently you cannot bend any valves on an 8v engine if the belt snaps, or so i heard.
I would ask to look at the damage or get someone that knows what they are on about look at it, once the head has been removed.
