    Hey whats up guys, 120 mile trip to NH over the weekend left me and my 98
    A4 1.8TQMT stranded on an exit. I was just slowing down for the stop sign and i lost RPMs and the car wouldn't start again. i pushed it to a nearby gas station and went back and hauled it with my F150 all the way back home to my work where i tore down the front end and I've found one of the pulleys next to the tensioners was the problem. no broken teeth or anything but the bolt holding the pulley on broke clean off in the head. so i tapped out the broken bolt now what should i do? Just wondering if i could of done any topend/valve damage? let me know what you guys think any help is good. the good news is while front ends torn down i'm gunna throw on my XS FMIC and new BOV

    yep you did valve damage, might as well start pulling the head now.
