Right After rounding off two of the allen bolts  :sad:  that sit in pulley to remove bottom and middle covers, as i was squeezing out car to punch/kick/beat something, i moved wheel on way out and saw that the belt moved... complete.

So gets out from under car, span wheel, in 5th and belt moved round freely. However the belt has lost about 3 inches worth of teeth.

I take it that this is as bad as the belt snapping and im back to square 1??

Is it 100% chance the vlaves are bent?

I have turned engine over by spinning wheel in 5th gear and seems to have compression?

Car goes down garage tuesday, they are just going to put a new belt on, then turn it over by hand, if all is good after that, going to try start it.

Wes, who would you send head to to get it rebuilt or would you DIY?

The only guy I would get to check the head over and possibly rebuild it would be Snowy out in Calbourne but not sure how busy he is at the mo.

You might have compression on maybe 2 cylinders but chances are at least one valve is bent somewhere. Don't forget the 1.8T has 12 inlet valves and 8 exhaust, 4 more than most 4 cylinder engines.

If you want his number I'll grab it for you. I'm guessing something has seized to cause the teeth to strip...

3 inches worth of teeth is a lot of teeth to lose and cause no damage.. i recon you would have bent at least 2 valves.. they are picked up cheap enough and fit yourself or get a buddy (wez) to do it for you he has nothing to do anyways.. (no alloys or a littleun  :nerd: )

Doubt you would have not bent any valves, also very odd to strip the teeth unless something locked up.
