Omega General Help / Re: Has my cambelt gone?

« on: 26 January 2007, 15:17:58 »

Stopped and parked like normal.

No horrible noises, but it seems to turn too easily. ? no compression.

Last time the belt went I did have lots of clattering, but that engine was stripped for me and EVERYTHING had been smashed; pistons, big & little ends; heads valves guides - a complete total mess.

Fuel supply seems ok - but its clearly not even trying to ignite anything in there.

Omega General Help / Has my cambelt gone?

New member of the Forum.

I have a 1997 2.5V6 CDX Auto Estate that wont start. I think the cambelt has gone.

Second engine (after the belt went on the first one). This engine with 8500 miles since recon is supposed to have had a brand new belt and tensioner fitted.

What are the symptoms? Is there a quick self-diagnostic I can do to confirm it before I get someone expensive to look at it?
