I have no reason to suspect there have been any mechanical damages from the timing belt snap. The replacement was done by a Volvo mechanic who's done it for several decades, checked to make sure it was alright, ran smooth with no weird noises after the timing belt replacement and taken to the Volvo dealership themselves who checked twice that it's done properly and given the all clear.
Sure, I can have a look if nothing's damaged visually but I would likely mess up something if I played with the timing mechanics myself, that's why I don't dabble with it and let the specialist do what they're qualified to do.

An oscilloscope might be a bit above my understanding let alone having one. I've got noid lights and a multimeter but that's about it. Remember a guy a while ago telling me how to test injector signal readings with an oscilloscope but I'm afraid I might need a bachelor's degree to understand and follow what he was explaining to me.
If I can't test it with the 2 items I have, that will be a dead end for me. Might have to sell it... any offers?
