Does a 2006 A3 2.0L use a timing belt or chain,and does it bend the valves when the belt breaks?

SOURCE: 1999 pontiac sunfire-timing chain jumped

Is the motor still running???? All depends where the piston an valve are when it jumps off?????

They are an interference engine, but you may have dodged a bullet. Once new belt is on, you may want to check, before going too much further.

SOURCE: 1994 1.9 the timing belt broke.did it bend the valves.

For what it's worth, my info tells me it's a non-interference engine, so your o.k. but I will double check that & get back to you.

SOURCE: if the timing belt breaks does this shear or bend the valves on a

All Daewoo Engines are interference fit Engines. Which means that if the timing belt rips while the engine is running the pistons will hit and bend the valves and you will have to get new valves and possibly a new cylinder head. Worst case scenario you will also have to get a new engine block if for some reason chunks or pieces of valve, piston or cylinder head damaged the cylinder bore and cracked the block while things were moving around. Daewoo Timing belts are recommended to be replaced at 60,000 miles but it is best to replace them before 60k as some people have had their timing belts break on them as soon as 61,000 miles.
