Hi all.....
Am looking at a Doblo mpv 1.9 diesel,which has the cam belt snapped. The fella says that he was 'just cruising along',when it went. .... Now, can any of you tell me what damage is likely to have been done and some estimate of what it would cost to get it back to good health,please ??
How close do the valves run on these ?? I know that the old Vauxhall/Isuzu 1.7's used to wreck everything,when they failed,because the tolerances were so tight......yet on the old Talbot express 2.5's,you could get away with no damage.....just pop a new belt on and away you went ! .... So what are the Doblo 1.9's like in this respect ??
Also.....how can I identify whether it's the 105 or 120 version ?? Anyone who's got (technical) experience with these,please ??

O.K. So I bought the above doblo ! (Fairly cheap buy,I thought . ) . Sent it to a friends workshop to have the head off and repaired.
I have found out that it's the '105' version........Can anyone remind me of the differences between the 105 and the 120.....was it something to do with the dpf filter ??
Also, one of you guys said that it's possible to get rather more power out of these engines (1.9 jtd)......any info on that please ??

hi , it's the 1910cc JTD often found in the Marea,

but busiest sections on here is Stilo and Multipla

started at 105 , then 110 and 115 - all 8 Valve

usually a real mess when belts break,

plenty of older engines around due to corrosion in earlier cars,
