A couple days ago the timing belt broke on my gm-daewoo 2008 Suzuki Reno. The vehicle only has just under 130,000 thousand and has been vary well maintained. The belt had been replaced before with a gates timing belt at about 100,000 I believe. Therefore meaning the belt broke with just under 30,000 thousand miles on it, which is way before the manufacture oem change interval in the service guide. I understand the engine is a gm family 2 series engine 2. 0 d-tec 4cylnder dohc I think the engine codename in these engines is a u20sed/ l34. As for the belt, it just snapped besides for where it had snapped and broke its in good shape, no rips, tears etc. . Just wondering if gm is aware of this issue, I not trying to complain but honestly I feel that something seriously wrong had happened to my car after doing some research I found out about many other people having this same issue forum pages online, youtube videos, and things like that. I had gone through all the recalls and service bulletins and there's absolutely nothing having to do with what had happened(the belt broke on my car as well as many other Reno and forenza vehicles. Maybe the timing system was poorly designed, manufacturing defect ? I'm not sure, but I do thnk the tensioner may have failed. I know this is an interference engine it has zero compression and so it likely has some bent valves what's the best way to have this taken care of? also theres only one Suzuki service dealer that's still open in my area, as for the recall it has I am planning to get it replaced, I contacted that dealer a while back and I am planning to get that fixed very soon. The VIN for the vehicle is 1kl5jd66z78k745397 I am in the united states, I live across the water from seattle but in canada I believe these were sold as the chevy optra 5 thanks carson ackerman-clemons.
