Hi everybody, just bought a 06 doblo 1.3 multijet with broke timing chain.Anyone know what damage do to engine. Pays off to fixed or needs new engine.

The 1.3 is an interference engine, which means the valves will smack the pistons in a chain off incident.

Repairs mean head off, check for damage to pistons, valves and in extreme cases, the crank shaft!

The rebuild would involve gasket sets, valves, possibly pistons and shell bearings, as well as new oil, filters, coolant, chain set and so on.

I would rather look for an engine from a smashed van/car and simply replace the chain set, oil, filters, coolant etc. You could save a considerable amount of time and money.

But insist on hearing the engine running before parting with your hard earned

That's just my take on it, there is plenty good advice to be had so it's up to you.

Thank you Andoo for your answer.Do you know,maybe,can you fit an engine of 2008 year in the car of 2006 year?

Possibly.

The block should be standard, but there may be some slight differences.

Best to compare them side by side and take bits from your engine to the new engine.

However, I think it should fine as the face lift models came in around 2010.

I would check the ECU's between the two vehicles, also the software version.

Hope all goes well for you

The ECU shouldn't matter, it's married to the car. As long as the engine wiring loom is the same it should work the same...

Although, I did fit a 2004 engine into a 2000 Renault Espace and although the looms were the same, there was different injectors and such so I simply swapped the parts from the original engine onto the newer engine and all was well. Although it did hold me up by three hours

Doesn't usually do that much damage, replace the followers and your good to go, that said the labour charges aren't much better.

And get a new timing chain kit for engine too lol, it's a common fault so would t want you to experience it with your new engine. Bloody multijet sames happend to me at 80k
