Timinig belt broke on a Kia Sportage I need to know how fix it?|||You should have a mechanic do that for you. It is possible that you bent valves when the belt broke, and there could be a variety of other repairs necessary. Also, although it is easy to change the belt, you will also have to reset the timing. This requires a timing light. If you had one of these, I'm sure you would already know how to change the belt! BTW - you do not need to take it to the dealer to change this. Any ASE certified mechanic can do this for you. If you insist on changing this yourself, go to your local bookstore and buy the Chiltons manual for your Sportage. Good luck.|||smash it and collect the insurance|||you install a new one?|||first get a book on that vehicle. it will show you how to change the belt. Not that hard. If you don't have to bother the distributor you wont have to reset the timing, just make sure the timing marks on the cam and crank pulleys are aligned when you put the new belt on. start it up. if it runs smooth then your valves are ok. if you bent any valves it wont run well at all. Also you can call the the dealer and ask if it has an interference motor. If it is not an interference motor you valves are not going to be bent|||Buy a wrecked one and transfer the engine from the wrecked car to your car.
Good Luck.
Timing belt broke most always ruins engine. Or else you could have an engine job done on the car for $2,500 give or take.|||Take it to the shop to get fixed. Duh!!
