Skoda Fabia 2005 - Cam belt fail / valve melted? #

Posted by Glen Strachan on December 23, 2015, 1:20 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2005
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: err the one with 2 cambelts !

Has anyone seen anything like this vale ?

Car came in as non runner and has lost teeth from the small belt
Expecting to see bent valves on one cam only but found that valve that looks almost melted.
The valve is from the cam with the toothless belt
It happened on a motorway and the driver reports that it didn't run rough, just brought a light on and stalled

Any thoughts ?

Did valve melt cause belt fail or did belt fail cause valve melt ?

Bad telling from the photo but it looks to have very sharp edges which I thought may indicate the bit has fractured, rather than burnt which possibly would have had more of a curved edge to it.

would agree with Graham looks to clean a cut to be burnt away

Well spotted gusy, I have found the missing piece !
So, not melted, a chunk broken off.
The same question still stands though - Is this a symptom or cause ?

Cause I reckon, these twin cams are known for valve stick
