Bit of bad news on saturday.. was driving to a friends house, pulled into the turning and as I put my foot on the accelerator, a loud bang and a 'tinging' noise started, at first I thought it was just a boost hose popped off (quite a normal occurrence because of the pressure its running) but then the engine died.. opening the bonnet and removing the cam cover it was apparent that the cam belt has completely stripped.. pretty much every one of the teeth has been stripped off.. hopefully the valves haven't bent/camshaft has ben damaged..

Oh no bad news Paulie. Thats shocking didnt your brother get engine rebuilt few years back with cambelt etc...?

Oh no bad news Paulie. Thats shocking didnt your brother get engine rebuilt few years back with cambelt etc...?

it is a bit annoying really, the Cambelt went a while back and was fixed by Jabbasport.. I took it down to Unit 18 this morning and let Ali have a look at it. he showed me what the problem was straight away.. it appears that the cambelt that was fitted isn't an OEM one but actually a 'pattern' part.. this was easily identified because the OEM belts are kevlar coated, the belt that was fitted to my Ibiza has no coating over it
It sounded like the valves have bent by the tinging noise it made before dying, just hope that its not taken out the camshaft as thats an expensive fix

That's bad news Paulie

Cheers matey, I'm hoping its not going to be too expensive.. only time will tell

Paulie..

It will indeed.
Normaly there is some enige damage when it's broken

 

[T10HJP]

hmm well I'm pretty sure that the valves are bent so they'll need replacing.. hopefully its just that though

The car want's an internal update

 

[T10HJP]

yeah, just not sure on what to upgrade though.. don't think there are pistons available (I believe they're already forged) and the rods are trapezoid so they're super strong.. only the cambelt needs to be stronger need to look into a 1.8T chain conversion lol

Rods are available - Rosten Rods
Keep same pistons just need ones if they are damaged.
You can get a more aggressive cam from Colt cams in the states
Injectors


With the above you will push a lot more power.

to be honest though, the standard rods should be strong enough to hold the power I'm going to put through it. The cam and injectors sound like a good idea, only problem is that I don't have the spare cash about at the minute, just paid off my boarding holiday for january and its left me a bit short. I know that injectors are going to set me back over the 1k mark and I just don't have that laying about

Sorry to here this, must be a right pain having no car Do you have any idea what make of cambelt was used, i've just had mine done using a continental belt, hopefully that will be strong enough?

it is annoying not having the car, but its not my daily so its not essential that I have it, just nice to take the ibiza out for a spin instead of the Merc Sprinter lol.
Its a completely unmarked cambelt so not got any ideas who its made by. what kind of power are you running in your ibiza?

Paulie..

only stage one, i did'nt think more power would put any more strain on the belt?

 

[T10HJP]

no its not the power that puts the strain on the belt, I was told that its how aggressively the fuel is injected is what puts the strain on the cambelt (I'm sure maz will confirm/put me straight )
you should be fine with a stage 1

Have I seen you down MK cruise at the old hockey stadium? Im sure I have lol. I drive a yellow mk4 DAB, so only a 1.4 But sure ive seen you around beautiful car by the way!

 

[T10HJP]

I have been down to the hockey stadium once in the last couple of months but I don't hang around over there. Not really my kind of scene
I'm pretty sure that I see your car there when I was there
Thanks, its really difficult to keep clean, but I love it so much..

Paulie..

 

[s7ocky09]

[T10HJP]

Really sorry to hear about the bad news. Just would like to know when you had the rear number plate area and side reflectors sprayed gloss black where they removed? if so how do they come of the rear bumper.
Thanks Ad
