I have a Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6 Petrol, 2009 with a suspected broken timing belt.
I bought the car on Sunday (4 days ago) from a private seller and drove the car home some 150 miles without a problem. Picked my kids up from school, no problem. Driving Wednesday evening (yesterday) and the car lost all power and the engine just "spins" too freely when trying to start. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but I suspect a broken cambelt.
I've been doing some bedtime reading and it doesn't look too bad a job on a petrol engine. But I did see a video where someone said you should get a new camshaft as the lobes are press on and can move with a cambelt failure. I've only heard that on this one video, so just wanted to check with everyone.
This forum has been a great resource already and you all seem a really friendly bunch

I can't believe my luck with this car. I had a megane before but the clutch failed so I bought this Citroen

Thanks,
Graham
