Help won't start - KevinTW - 07-03-2014
306 HDI just shed the auxilliary belt and now will not start. Any ideas, would it start with a new belt? Should that make any odds to it starting?

I wouldnt have thought the aux belt would stop it from starting, unless you've run the battery flat. Any other symptoms?

As you say, your aux belt could have taken the cambelt with it. Definitely worth taking the covers off to have a look and check all the timing holes line up.

The cam belt jumped and under the rocker cover are numerous broken bits of metal. The car is now advertised in the parts section on this site.
Thanks to everybody for their advice.

all it will be is a case of replacing the rockers & lifters bud. Easy enough fix

My mate Chris who builds racing cars and has had a couple of HDIs says the fix is easy and cheap. BUT the little bearing fragments get everywhere and a while later the engine is screwed.

An oil flush would be a good job, aswell as a damn good clean up top too to get rid of any fragments.
I can understand though that it may cause problems.
