I guess you may have other belt broken. Once it breaks, the engine will stopped immediately and cannot be started anymore. I guess you may have other belt broken.

If that is the case, changing engine is the best option. But make sure you check the condition of the engine carefully. Why does it cost so much to change the timing belt?

The guy I got it form is really sound so he is ging 50:50 on the cost even though he has no obligation to give me anything. Oh yea I didn’t get the van from a deeler so I have no guarantee.

I got a campervan 2 weeks ago and last friday I set out for my first weekend away and 10min from my destination the belt went. My van is now stuck 5hrs away from where I live with a machanic who still hasn't looked at my van or tow it anywhere else as he says he is busy. I even had it booked to get the bely changed today (Wed). How unlucky!!!!!! A qiuck estimate is €1500 and 3weeks to fix it. I'm thinking it might be cheaper to just replace the engine than the parts. I got a quote of €300 for a second hand engine and €150 to install it. Also there hadn't been 60,000k done since it was changed last but since I just bought it I said I would get the belt done just in case. I feel your pain.

But the picture above is for illustration and decoration only, not for description. There is nothing much can be told by looking at the timing belt. What you can check is the mileage (How far have you driven your car to). There is a counter at the speed meter can tell you about the mileage. If it reaches 60 000km, you should change it. If the last digit background is white in colour, it represents 0.1km actually. Only count the black colour digit. Yes, that’s my car.
