All TDI's will bend valves if the belt breaks!

My '97 TDI was most definitely of the interference design.
The manual of that year said to replace the timing belt at 60k miles, and mine died at 49,600. I took back all the bad things I had ever said about VW when they gave me a new engine under warantee. regards, KL
