Failed engine resulting in broken cambelt.
Accelerated a little too briskly and the engine just died. I pulled over and tried to start it but no go.
Opened the belt covers and found the relatively new cambelt bunched up and broken. I am guessing that I should have had the other cam chain tensioner replaced.
At 299,666 miles I'm not looking to repair it, but now I have a gleaming silver body with perfect panels and brand new tires to dispose of in Freehold NJ. Buyer takes all and will be the down payment on my next "AUDIMATE".
Any suggestions?
