I drove 2 miles and without warning the engine went into limp mode and the engine had developed a ticking sound, I stopped. Under the bonnet was a stripped aux cord about 200mm long.....
The cord had passed between the toothed side of the cambelt and caused it to slip the timing position. The car is currently at the dealership awaiting a prognosis of catastrophic failure or lucky bast*&D
ALWAYS REPLACE THE AUX BELT
