as far as i am aware all tdi engines had belt driven cams and injection pumps apart from those that have been converted to run gear driven set-ups
timing belts can let go at any time if they are old not sure about the belt life on a tdi but normally on cars its around 70,000 miles but i know of a few that run as low as 36,000miles and some that are higher
Are your valves OK?thanks again for advice lads

Not wishing todepress you further but if one of your rockers is broken a vlve must have hit apistn pretty hard.The others could be fine.Best of luck-they seemed ok m8 but it was getting dark lol
