very much is one, most dsm's are all interference motors, once the timing belt breaks, snaps, tears, anything happens to that belt while drving or even while the car is running, you can almost count on getting a new head or your valves re-set, alot of damage can be done with anything happening to that timing belt

your end clutch is gone. Simple $100 fix
The 96 Golf 2.0L has an interference engine. Change that timing belt!
It is a non interference engine.
modify the drivers side engine mount and it is a straight drop in
It's located under the passenger side of the car, just forward of the rear tire for a 96 Eagle Talon 2.0 Non Turbo FWD. Not sure for the TSI model.
interference
on my 96 eagle talon tsi awd it's set at 130mph around 5000 rpms n still handles like a dream, a fun adrenaline rush.......suggested for track only. safety 1st n all!
non-interference. there seems to be a lot of confusion about this. the 2.5l's are interference, the 2.2l's are non-interference.
No , the 3.0 liter - V6 engine in a 1996 Toyota Avalon is not an interference engine according to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etc. )
The 96 Z34 with the overhead cam 3.4 was an interfierence engine.
