Hi all, I have a skoda octavia on a 2008 1.9 diesel Campbelt has snapped and I can't afford to replace the car. Example ie will I need to get a new head or replaced the valves....also is there  any tools required that I would need for the job and is there anything  I need  to look out for when doing the job. 

There was a recent thread on the subject concerning rebuilding a BMM (?) engine following a timing belt/ chain breakage.

Do a search as guidance. It is likely that you will have to replace bent conrods.

 

Please put your model and engine code in your details, as this helps the helpers.

The engine code can be found on two stickers - one in the handbook and one in the boot by the spare wheel.

When the belt fails on an 8 valve, as @pikpilot says, the rods take a hammering. AMC do a very good casting, VAG Diesel heads should not be skimmed.
