    I am interested in buying a car but was told the timing belt went in it and was replaced. Could the timing belt going have any damage to other parts of the engine.

    If a timing belt fails, the whole engine can be destroyed.
    I assume they meant the belt was replaced when it was due to be replaced. At least I hope so anyway.... :eek:

    What car is it? Some engines are non-interference (e.g. Mazda B engine found in 121, 323, Demio, MX-3, MX-5, Kia Pride), which are not likely to get damaged by timing belt failure.
