Hello , my hate love with my French bitch ended up abruptly last week. The 4 year old and 30,000 km running timing belt is broken. (total power of the vehicle 8 years 80,000km) The following symptoms : Accelerate on the acceleration strip , at about 3000 RPM there was a squeak/jauling noise in the engine compartment. After that power loss. With Pedal2 floor plate the car was to be held at 85 km, with each delay the car was then not faster to get after that, but stopped This speed. After a delay to 30 km was only possible to roll out. NO engine control light, NO jerk in the vehicle. An opening of the engine cover showed: cover of the zah strap damaged, zah strap to see whether it is still on it or only those parts of it are unclear. Car does not ignite any more. Questions: 1. Is this symptom zah strap crack typical? Usually I thought that at least a heavy jerk goes through the car when the pistons break down the injection system. 2. Is there a chance that the engine remained undamaged with timing belt tear? 3. Can I still make any optical diagnoses? In case of engine damage I can only scrap the car and that after 8 years and 80,000 km. I had had the ZR exchanged with a Rep 4 years ago at 50,000 km and had the still far from on the plan. Intervals are indeed at Cit 10years/240000km. Seuftz .. the next one probably will not be a Cit. 🙁
