Guys, I changed the cambelt once (about 5 years ago, the car had about 35k miles, as I've been told that it needed to be changed), but I haven't changed the pump (I've got a 1.4 petrol).
Today (5 years later) the car has about 70k miles and is 10 years old, and I've never had problems with the pump.
Now, I don't know if the 180 is a different story...

Its just luck of the draw mate, its the same with any wearing part really, but if the water pump had gone a week after you'd done your cambelt you would have kicked yourself.

Didn't have the pump changed on mine. Machinic said is was all tight and as new so there was no point. All depends on what the pump is like tbh suppose better safe than sorry but if its as tight as a new one could just be a waste of £50

id always do the pump with the cambelt because it might feel tight and fine but its the extra tension and the change in tension from the old to the new belt which will then cause it to wear much quicker

TU cambelt, cant get much easier to do then that ( only Ford CVH )
FYI a Peugeot main dealer technician will be able to do a TU cambelt on a 206 in under 45 minutes

I'm not changing the pump any more because when you think about it a new pump could be just as bad as the one already fitted, because the new pump may not be as good quality, fair enough if the one that is currently fitted has any play etc etc then I shall change it
