Hi all,

I have a Punto 1.2 - 8 valve 2002. Can anyone tell if this engine is a "safe engine" ie if the timing belt breaks does this ruin the engine. I am going to get the belt changed next week.
@ 45,000 miles. This seems about right.
My son has Punto 55 which is a "safe engine" which was a great relief when his belt snapped.

Many thanks
