Unfortunately my aux. belt has just failed at 88K on my '12 plate D3 (5cyl).
The original was changed at 4 years and approx. 50k miles.
Unfortunately this has taken out the cambelt which in turn has trashed the head. Repair cost is £3400 which includes a refurb head.
When trying to explain this to the missus she asked the sensible question, “why does a small belt failing cause so much damage? Why isn’t this prevented from happening by a cover or something?”.
I couldn’t answer this!!
