My friend has a 1996 1.6 litre VW polo. The timing belt broke. (Actually the belt is in one piece, but the teeth stripped off) Before I put on a new belt and do a compression test can anyone tell me for certain whether or not the pistons would have hit the valves in this particuar motor. I know that some engines do, some engines don't. So please answer if you know for sure about this particular engine. Your expertise would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
