Snapped or Broken Cam Belts

One of the most common reasons why van owners sell us their vehicles at sellproblemvan.com ® is a problem with the timing belt (or cam belt). 

Has your engine been damaged by a broken or snapped cam belt?

As a vital component of a van’s engine, the cam belt connects the crankshaft to the camshaft, with the latter being responsible for opening and closing the engine’s valves. When the cam belt breaks, numerous issues can result.

For example, the pistons may now be hitting the valves, breaking or bending them out of shape. If the cam belt snaps while you’re driving the van, the engine might be destroyed, with the cost of repairs often surpassing the vehicle’s value.

Many van owners will attempt to sell the van as they cannot afford the cost of replacement but they often find that there are not many buyers out there for vehicles with broken engines.

At sellproblemvan.com ®, however, we are specifically looking for these kinds of vans.

We pay cash for all kinds of broken and damaged vans so that selling your vehicle becomes hassle-free. We’ll even settle garage bills and any outstanding finance on any van that is less than 10 years old.
