Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your vehicle. If your PT Cruiser's timing belt snapped, more than just a simple replacement may be involved. Depending on the engine type, when a timing belt breaks, the pistons can strike the valves, bending or damaging them. It could also damage the piston and the cylinder itself. If the engine turns over by hand, you could perform a compression test to diagnose the failure before taking the engine apart. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered. Give us a call at 877-913-1554, and we will happily help you out!
