Just heard from Pat over at the service place… sounds like the timing belt didn’t do any engine damage….. Whohohooo! This makes me especially happy after asking for a worst case senario and hearing “new engine” š I am still going to eat a big bill as I’m getting them to do some of the overdue maintenance stuff that I’ve been avoiding, fluid top ups, etc. I figure that after having the effects of avoiding regular maintenance on a new(ish) car displayed so graphically to me I’d better be good. This also means that I won’t have a tune up that’s needed Real Soon Now hanging over my head. Still sucks to come this close to insurance time, but such is life.
