UPDATE: Timing Belt Snapped. Car broke down, downtown kirkland

I just went through this also. What do you plan to do next?

Going to pull it apart with someone who knows what they're doing and check it out. If the head is done or I gotta rebuild, I'll just sell. I'm in college, looking for work, getting married soon. I don't have the time or money for being a car guy although I hope really bad that I can keep it and fix it.

If it's an easyish fix, then I'll do it and replace all the stuff I was going to.

Just ordered timing belt parts after this thread got me researching them. I thought since i barely drove my car that i would be fine. Ive had it 5 years now and with the hot summer/ cold winter it's definitely about to break.

You're very lucky. I read somewhere if you don't drive it a lot then you have to change it possibly sooner? Not 100% on that. But that's like if you barely drive it.

Change it NOW! I wouldn't even drive if I was you.

yeah ive decided not to drive it until it gets changed. luckily it's not my daily. i just figured id let you know that even though yours went down something good is gonna come of it.
