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?
