It was reported that it ran fine after the cam belt failure, but some cam followers or other components may have been cracked or over stressed by piston to valve contact and failed some time later. All this will only be known by removing the rocker cover, and maybe the head, and carefully examining the components. There must be plenty of second hand heads available. The question is, is the car worth it? Otherwise break it or sell it as a non runner and cut ones losses. __________________ V70 D3 auto MY2011 2.0L 5 pot 163bhp.
