The timing belt broke on the VAZ 2112 1,5 16 valves

When I was still going to buy a VAZ 2112 for myself, I didn’t even know that some engines have problems, or rather the consequences after a timing belt break, namely, when the belt breaks, the valve bends. And this happens only for a certain type of engine: 1,5 16 valve. So, I bought myself a “Twelfth”, and as luck would have it, I took it with a 1,5-liter 16-valve engine. I traveled on it for probably a year, and only then did I find out that I have exactly the model that bends the valve when the timing belt breaks. Even before the purchase, the owner told me that the belt had only been replaced, but I didn’t even know what the catch was. And I traveled on that belt for another 50 km, until I decided to change it out of harm's way.

I changed the timing belt, it took about 5000 km after the replacement, and I noticed that the belt began to wear out a lot, and threads began to crawl out of the edge of the belt. And with such a belt I traveled another 5000 km, until I decided to replace it, went to the city for 100 km and at the same time bought a belt and rollers. I am driving home, there are already 50 kilometers left, and then something happened that I was most afraid of. I hear a sharp crunch, a click from under the hood, and immediately immediately turn off the engine, although it would have stalled anyway.

Remember that in any situation with a breakdown, it is better to immediately call a tow truck https://volok-evakuator.ru/shaxov.php, which will safely deliver your car to the service station for diagnostics and repair.

So I am standing on the track, where there are no car services or workshops in the next 50 km. I called a friend, he came for me in a Mercedes van, and pulled me to the nearest car service. The service immediately said that the valve was bent, although I myself knew what was the matter. I called the city, ordered a set of gaskets for the engine, a set of valves. They brought all this the next day, took all the spare parts to the service. A couple of days later, they called from the car service, they said that for the repairs it was only 4500 rubles, which is quite a little. In the city, they would probably take 9 thousand for such work. And the spare parts cost me 3500 rubles, in total, together with the work, this breakdown cost me 8000 rubles. I watched the engine when the head was removed, 4 valves out of 16 bent. I got off well.

After this incident, now I always change everything in advance, I check the belt almost every day. And now I change the timing belt every 30 km, out of harm's way. It's better to pay 000 rubles for a belt, rollers and replacement than then give 1000 rubles for bent valves.
