Hi there. just bought an 1100 seicento for my daughter to learn to drive in. I'm in the process of doing a full service. As the last owner seems to have neglected the car, I'm assuming she didn't get the timing belt changed at the correct time. Is this a safe engine, or does a broken belt cause engine damage?
Seicento timing belt is it a safe engine?

Seicento timing belt is it a safe engine?
It shouldnt do any damage however u might want to ask in the Cento section or just read it as some1 asked this question recently
i think the only time it can be a problem is when the head has been skimmed beyond limits

Hi there. Thanks for replying. I'll do the belt change at my leisure, after I've finished the service and the points I noted so far; leaking wheel cylinders and cam cover. I'm quite pleased that that's all I've found, as it has been neglected. It is a delight to drive.
The 8v FIRE engines are indeed none interferance. That includes the 1108cc engine
Hi there. Thanks that's reassuring.
