hi evening all i am new to the forum and wwas wondering if any member knows if a 2011 c-max 1.6tdci is interferance or no interferance
thanks in advance

 

If it is a dual overhead cam engine =non interference
If SOHC single overhead cam is an interference engine.

 

thanks for reply hanky,may i also ask if the belt had snapped would the car still drive because i drove at least 500 yards after engine malfunction came on dash was only when i hit traffic and had to brake car cut out and would not start

 

When I don't know the answer, I found it pretty helpful to ask another question. Kinda gets me off the hook, kinda !
How many miles are on the vehicle, timing belt replacement is generally around 60,000 miles. To the best of your knowledge would you care to estimate if the recommended replacement interval has been somewhat exceeded? Sometimes when a belt breaks it takes out the crank sensor too. A few checks might help pin down just what happened..
A visual inspection of the belt, and knowing whether it is an interference engine or not are two good starting points.
500 yards is a pretty long distance , but don't know at what speed it quit and how much coasting was possible.
Maybe some of your answers will help.
It could also be something entirely different.
