#14: Re: cam belt Author: chunkielad, Location: LeighPosted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 7:23 am ---- It is according the service manuals all the garages around here use. I was a little concerned when they all said it.

#19: Re: cam belt Author: -RAJ-, Location: COVPosted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 7:36 am ---- they are saying 80,000 MILES, the link say 50,000 MILES (which is 80,000km) so not sure :s
#20: Re: cam belt Author: europug, Location: londonPosted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 7:40 am ---- cool im jus gonna do it
#21: Re: cam belt Author: Werdnal, Location: Cornwall, UKPosted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 8:07 am ---- I rang Peugeot last year when I bought the car. They said 80K or 10 years. Mine is a 52 and when I bought had 82K, so knocked a bit off the price. Had mine done soon after.
#22: Re: cam belt Author: JJJamieson, Location: ShetlandPosted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 8:07 am ---- According to the Autodata book (which the garages use), Peugeot recommend the belt is changed every 80,000 miles under normal conditions, 48,000 miles under adverse conditions. It also says that the 206 engines are 'interference engines', which means that if the belt breaks the possibility of valve-to-piston damage is 'most likely'.
Basically, if you've been giving your engine a hard time the recommended interval is 48,000.
For the cost of doing the job, it's certainly a good idea to get it done if you're worried / suspicious about the belt condition, especially as the damage done by a belt breaking will be expensive...
(Just for the record, the Autodata book I'm looking at is the 2002 edition, which may well be out of date by now. If anyone has seen anything different please let us know!)
