Renault Megane 1.6 16V 2001 - cambelt snapped, would valves be damaged?

The cambelt has snapped on my Megane - what is the likelihood that the valves on this model have been damaged?

And, if so, what is the likely cost of repair?

damm shame for suck a newish car!! yeah probly you may of damaged a few valves and yes it will be a head skim im affraid

you will be lookin at bout 700- 1200
depends where you live and whom you go to

most likley the valve's are damaged, what you need to do is have your timing reset up,new cambelt fitted & a compression test this will give you an idea of the cost working on £10 at least per valve + a new head gasket,pressure test & possible skim and of course labour,unless your going to do it yourself sorry about the bad news
