      I had a mk2 Golf booked in to have the timing belt replaced, 1 week before it snapped.

      2 weeks later it was crushed by a tank at Mallory race track.

        Ouch.

        My father snapped the timing belt in his turbo Passat at freeway speed many years ago. I suspect, but cannot prove, that he money shifted it. He reported that the noise it made was “bang.” I believe it.
