Yes, there is probably damage to the valves at least.
Won't know how bad it is until the head comes off.
A local mechanic just broke a timing belt on his ALH TDI beatle.
Looked good when he opened it but will probably need new valves,.. but i haven't talked to him since he sent it to the machine shop.
