Timing Belt Jumped Off 1.2 3 Cylinder 62 Plate

[Charlie123]

Just seeing if anyone else has had this problem.

Set off on Sunday drove round the corner from home. Pulled out of a junction and changed up into 2nd gear. Then all of a sudden car just stops engine light appears and engine fault message appears.

 

Got the breakdown company out and he thought it was the timing belt so towed away to nearest citroen dealer

 

Cars been checked today by citroen and it was the timing belt coming off that has caused the issue. New engine has been ordered. All work is to be carried out under warranty.

 

Just seeing if this has happened to anyone else. I believe the car

 

Car has 9k on clock.

When buying the car I had to wait a while due to the new engine so I believe it's one of the first cars to have the 1.2 3 cylinder engine.

Welcome to the forum.

 

As far as I can remember, this is the first time a timing belt coming off has been mentioned on any car on this forum, never mind a new C3 1.2 litre engine. It is good you are getting a new engine rather than trying to repair the old one.

 

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on.
