Timing belt slipped while I was on my way home tonight... Car might be screwed.
My engine might be capoot. It's my work vehicle also.

What happened was the power steering pump reservoir to pump hose was rubbing against the serpentine belt right at the power steering pump, so I pulled it up and zip tied it and that seemed to work. Otherwise it would soon have sprayed power steering fluid everywhere.

The hose apparently was putting pressure on the timing cover which allowed the cam sprockets to rub the cover to a melting point. This in turn must have made the belt slip off of the tensioner pulley.

I just lost power, pulled over and made one potentially very expensive mistake... I tried to start the car. I could hear that belt sound and immediately stopped. Code was p0339 but upon visual inspection the belt is bent out at the tensioner. It was alarmingly loose but still on gears...

I dunno... It's so weird. Everyone complements this car lately. I love this car... Then this happens.

OMG the thought of a new car is terrifying right now and I simply don't have that money right now...

Any prayer is certainly appreciated.

Sigh.

If it's DOHC, then you bent your valves by trying to restart it...

I believe it's a B5244S engine. Naturally aspirated.

Timing was done at 90000 and it's at 154000.

It's a fantastic car. This was definitely my error.

Very slight pressure from that power steering hose being in the wrong spot did this lol

These are some of the most reliable cars. It's an awesome car! Great shape!

I'll probably just do a self rebuild. Might as well! I'd be spending about 3 times much otherwise and I didn't plan to get rid of this.

I want it to hit 4-500k miles lol

We are about to be like Cuba soon so I don't care if it's older in fact I much prefer that.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84065887


Yeah and here's the thing that gives me a LITTLE hope...

If the tensioner failed that's what made the car go into safety mode and allowed me to come to a stop. I just really really hope me cranking didn't do too much damage.

The car seemed to have some kind of safety override with this code, like it wasn't trying to even let me start it.

Oil looks perfect and perfect level, same with coolant.

Timing cover is done for.

The moment I saw the tension off that belt I was just like "well fuck." Lol

Probably a couple bent valves.

Might as well throw a grand at the car and feel a lot better for a while.

Still way way way cheaper than getting something else that I have no idea the reliability of.

If the engine is just done for it might be worth a swap. I know a couple dudes.

Maybe it's time to throw the Ferrari engine in?

I will not. I really like this car and it would actually even be worth putting another engine in it's in such good shape.

Interior is fantastic, body is definitely "good" but not great. Has great new Bilstein shocks and struts I did earlier this year. Still good life on tires.

I'm more worried about work and transportation.

I also love Toyota.

No offense but some dude on the internet with nothing to back it up won't change my mind on P80 Volvo's.

You're literally the first person I've ever heard not like this car.

They're not the same company anymore and are pushing electric vehicles now but this model in specific is extremely highly rated all around.

Seriously what are you talking about you haven't seen them pass 150k? Most I see are at around 300k right now of this same year.

This happened after it sat for a bit before I drove home.

Barely didn't make it back...

Ehh I'm genuinely curious now how bad the damage might be.

My terrible error of trying to crank the engine when it gave code p0339 crank sensor error. Big big oops.

I'm kinda in shock this shit happens in the most strange of times.

It's been chaotic energy lately.

You'd be a fool to scrap it without pulling the head for a look.

Or for fifty dollars or less buy an endoscope and peek through the spark plug hole on the cylinder with no compression.

I will not. I really like this car and it would actually even be worth putting another engine in it's in such good shape.

Interior is fantastic, body is definitely "good" but not great. Has great new Bilstein shocks and struts I did earlier this year. Still good life on tires.

I'm more worried about work and transportation.

This outta be fun.
