1995 Citroen ZX review from Malaysia
"Risky, Engine Fails With No Warning"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A few days back I sent my car to replace the alternator/power steering/compressor belt. After running for 10 km the car make noise and I checked that the belt had shred apart. The belt had turn to strings and pieces. The engine also stopped. There are also pieces of the torn belt in the timing belt compartment. The car was towed to a workshop and the mechanic confirmed that the head valves had bent due to the torn belts in the timing belt compartment. The whole engine head had to be dismantled to make the repair. I had to spend $1200 to make the repair. I think the belt system design is bad.
General comments?
Belting System Poorly Designed.
Cylinder Valve Easily Damaged.
