Renault Laguna 1.8 RN - 1998 - timing belt help

Hi all.

Can anyone help me out here. I've got a friend who's got a Laguna 1.8 RN - probably the 8v one. The timing belt snapped and she has asked me to fix it for her.

Simple question....am I wasting my time?? Is it possible the engine is now shot??

If not can some one please tell me what I need to change the belt ?? Any specific tools etc???

Any info advice is greatly appreciated. Never worked on a Laguna before.

Been web hunting for any tech pdfs etc but the car is 18years old so not much online.

Cheers

Steve

Re: Audi and white smoke

What model Audi, Corky, also year engine size and engine code,, Engine code is on a sticker on the timing belt case,, if cannot find the engine code there, look under the spare wheel in the boot
