Cambelt snapped after only 20k on my old 1.4 16v.

Was only travelling 15mph at most, but bent all 16valves. Cost around £800. But was never the same again, ended up paying another 1k for a GSi engine to be put in.

My cars on 58k and just had timing belt done again 2 weeks ago.

First time it was done was 32k.

For the sake of 50 notes, i'd rather that than engine going pop

I was always careful with mine mate, had it changed after 25k first time and then snapped after another 20k.
