hi everyone

i have a punto sporting 1.2 16 val s reg , the timing belt went on it the other day it didnt snap the teeth on the belt had worn, to cut along story short the garage that i have taken it to said i need a new engine :( they worked on it for an hour and have come to this conclusion ! someone i have spoken to today said the engine needs to be stripped down and would take atleast 4 hours to do ...... the garage is offering me £400.00 if i part chop it ...... anyone think im smelling a rat?

i was only going between 20 and 30 mph when it happened would it cause this much damage?
 
cheers beau

hopefully its not as bad as they are making it out, getting the car back tomorrow we will have to see if they are telling me porky's
 
All depends what damage occured....for example..if a valve had hit a piston it'd bugger the valve and damage the piston....resulting in a bigger repair job.
