timing belt snapped while driving

[achi]

Hi, i have a polo 2007 1.4 75 hp. my timing belt snapped as i was decelerating for a traffic light.
wanted to ask if the engine in this car is non interference.
if it is an interference engine then there is no point in replacing the timing belt as the engine probably been damaged right?
thanks for your help

I'm sure that this engine like most other modern engines, will be an interference engine, maybe the damage will be limited to the cylinder head, ie a few bent valves.

Wow... The valves actually broke.
Was the fixing of this costy? Did you have to replace the piston as well?

The head was damaged as you can see in the photos, so scrap. The bores also damaged from bits of valves smashing around in there,so scrap.
we fitted a reconditioned engine to this vehicle.
