Timing Belt Failure or ??? 900 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be Greg N on  Sat Dec 20 09:41 CST 2008 [RELATED]

1994 940 Turbo.
First belt replaced by P.O. at 90K miles. Current mileage 178K miles.
I was getting a squeal yesterday at the front of the engine, not an accessory.

This morning, I went to start it and it sounded funny and I was sure the T belt had failed. The car usually starts immediately.

I pulled back the top timing belt cover and noted that the belt still appears to have tension on it, maybe not as tight as usual, but still tension. The crank and accessories rotate but the cam doesn't. Is this a T belt failure with the belt jammed or is it a crank or cam pulley failure (cam pulley appeared intact unless the key has spun out.) or some other T belt drive train failure?

I have all of the parts in the garage, thinking I had about 15K miles to go, but won't be able to work on the car until a few days from now.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Greg
