    Run your hand down the right side of the timing cover and feel for a bump or crack, mine was obvious once I felt it.
    Luckily I was in my driveway when it went so suffered minimal damage and 23k later still going strong.

    Hmm.. Correct me if I'm wrong, cos I don't know, but isn't the 168k service the "body off" one? If so, and it wasn't done, and the dealer agreed in the contract to do it, then there may be grounds. Otherwise I'd doubt it.

    Certainly worth a follow up though.

    No body off doing the belts.

    3.0L is more difficult than 2.7L,but still the body does not have to come off.

    Timing belts change doesn't require the body to be removed.

    But the belts would be changed on this service? If so, there should be evidence of them having been done.

    True.

    If the belts were done then it's possible a call to the Consumer Affairs Dept in the State of purchase might achieve something, but it's a frustrating process and even if successful would likely only cover the cost of the belt replacement, and not the subsequent damage caused by failure.

    If the belts weren't done and it was in the contract that they would be then pursuing the trader for breach might be worthwhile. It probably would be in Vic, dunno about Qld.

    Doesn't hurt to try though. Sounds like the OP has some time on his hands.

    It's unlikely the belt has snapped, how many snapped ones have been reported?

    The most common failures would be the oil pump housing - but only after a belt change, and only if the pump wasn't changed, the pump change is not mandatory, and some owners don't want to pay the extra.

    Next would be a spun bearing or snapped crank.

    If a new pump was requested and not fitted, then the mech would be responsible.

    But all this is impossible to diagnose remotely really, with these exceptions..

    If the motor still runs but is rattling, spun bearing or snapped crank, if it won't run.. Broken oil pump housing (or snapped belt, but extremely unlikely).

    If there were no funny noises and the motor just stopped, HPFP could be the culprit.


    And TRS would be open this morning, Saturday morning that is.. unless they've changed opening hrs.

    Or could be the tensioner mounting bolt has failed. Have been cases of this bolt snapping off if not renewed when doing the timing belt.

    Unfortunately I no longer have a copy of the contract to even know if it was in there. Also warranty on a 14 year old car was 1 month or 1000ks, which is all that is required in Qld.
