Timing belt broke, it is an interference engine. Can I replace belt or do I have to get new engine?

Hello,

The kia sportage 2.7L v6 4x4 is a non- interference engine

Here are a couple of guides to help you get the timing belt replaced and the engine tested once you are through :

Please let us know what happens, we are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
