Anyone got any ideas? This problem is doing my nut in.
The timing belt snapped on my saxo 2002 furio. I put new valves in head gasket set, plugs, filtre, etc, to make sure everything was ok. Even did the thermostat. Seems to run ok.
However it has failed 3 times now on emmisions. The last time they said it was so bad they couldn't read it.
The question I want to ask is this:
The MOT tester said the car exhaust is loud could this be a symptom of the emmisions. That is could the timing be out?
I am thinking this because I didn't do the work.
In the old days of being able to turn the distributor around to do the ignition timing you could get the a car to make loud pops from the exhaust (timing out). Is this what needs checking on my saxo?
To be honest I've spent around £400 with bits here and bits there and I just feel like stripping it for parts.
