daisylupo Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Hello everyone, My 1.0ltr 02plate lupo has once again broken down. Can I pick your brains? The drive belt snapped so we replaced it. After it started but it was very loud and not running well, i managed to drive it a few miles unill I broke down and now the car won't start? It turns over but doesn't fire into life? We can smell petrol so it's not the fuel pump and we have tested all the spark plugs and they are all working, not great but working. Also i had a new coil pack fitted in November and we have checked the Cam belt and it seems to be in good working order. Do you have any idea on what it could be? I have attached a video showing that the electrics still work and the noise of the engine. Thank you in advance. Click on the link to view the video.

Sausage Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Can't view your attachment for some reason says not allowed, you need to see if you have any error codes logged using vcds preferably. snapped belt and loud after could be related to the belt like a seized pulley or it may be nothing to do with it.

daisylupo Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Thank you for getting back to me, I have attached the same video except I have reordered it off my girlfriends phone. Okay could it possibly be something to do with the engine timing? Edited January 15, 2017 by daisylupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR Sheen Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Did you replace the tensioner too when doing timing belt? And you did check timing marks on upper and lower pulleys before starting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisylupo Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 No to both, should we? Would this cause the engine not to start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobieus_uk Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) when you say drive belt do you mean cam belt as after a cam belt failure most engines are toast, well a replacement head will be required cant view the videos either Edited January 15, 2017 by Mobieus_uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisylupo Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 No its the alternator and water pump belt, I'm not sure what it is called. I know I can't figure it out how to upload a video that everyone can see. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micp Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Probably best uploading the video to youtube and then linking that mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobieus_uk Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) sounds like starter motor not engaging and just spinning, easy fix Edited January 17, 2017 by Mobieus_uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisylupo Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 The starter motor was replaced about 2 months ago? Could it be the crank sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 that sounds more like spinning than cranking. something isn't turning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisylupo Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 So I've taken it to the garage and they have said the following. When my aux belt snapped some of it went into the cam belt causing the cam belt to jump back a few teeth. So the timing is off which made the pistons smash into the valves! Ultimately destroying my valves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I thought no compression from the video. repair or replace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yah, after finally watching the vid was about to say that has 0 compression and probably jumped teeth on the cambelt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
