Hi,

I have a Cinquecento Sport 1.1 P reg old shape. My cambelt has snapped.. on these models would it have bent the valves requiring a full head removal and inspection or is it ok to just renew the cambelt ? would there have been enough clearence between the valves and pistons to not cause any major damage ?

Thanks for any advice.

Carl

The engine is safe with regards to piston/valve interface.

Find out why it snapped before replacing.

Check the waterpump and tensioner.

Replace either or both if suspect

Cheers

Like the man says, but I'd replace the tensioner anyway: they have a hard life and don't cost a lot.

Thanks for both your advice.
