on my 1.9d ph3

how do i find the extent of the damage? how much of a chance of bent valves is there? (could be a daft question that like)

Have to remove the head mate. Inspect the valves and pistons.

I was really lucky with mine, no damage! I dumped the clutch as soon as I heard the belt go and stopped it fast.

if you reset the timing and put a belt on it........then it can be done

I guess 1 or 2 bent valves.
