#4: Re: Cambelt Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu Feb 24, 2011 6:18 pm ---- you want to buy the kit or you want a garage to do it for u?
#5: Re: Cambelt Author: Lee180, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Thu Feb 24, 2011 6:25 pm ---- either or mate.
#6: Re: Cambelt Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu Feb 24, 2011 6:31 pm ---- if you are going to diy then get the dayco, gates or peugeot cambelt kit.
if you let the garage do it, it would properly cost around 300 as yours is 180GTi
you might want to do the waterpump as well.

Deffinatly do the water pump too! as i have recently found out. If the pump fails, thats will probably cause the cambelt to fail. And a water pump is about £25.
So well worth doing

£25 FOR A GTI 180 WATER PUMP????? you making this your self. First off i would all ways only fit a genuine peugeot water pump on these gti 180's which is around £80 with vat and a aftermarket one is round £40 and you dont get the back housing part with this one like the genuine ones so you have to spilt the water pump in half to fit new after market one and can leak very easy
The gti 180 can be very hard to time up if you do NOT have the proper timing tool and can quickly cause alot damage to engine due to the floating crack ( no wood duff key in crank pully )
If a garage never done one of these i would not use them to risky job to guess how to do it.

It was a Dayco timing belt kit that failed on my 206 GTi after 5k miles.
Don't recommend.

i though dayco is one of the manufactorer for peugeot oem stuff lol
#12: Re: Cambelt Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Feb 25, 2011 12:40 pm ---- Might not have been fitted properly.
#13: Re: Cambelt Author: Little_Zenon, Location: CambsPosted: Fri Feb 25, 2011 12:49 pm ---- sorry to crash this thread but gti180boy fitted my cam belt, i had spoken to lots of people about a 180 cam belt and everyone said use genuine parts! I was quoted 500+ from all garages and after watching gti180boy fit mine i can see why!! Its no easy two minute job it took him 4hours to change my cambelt and waterpump and he has done nearly 20 i think so my advise would be to use genuine parts and get someone whos done one before to do it!!
#14: Re: Cambelt Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:01 pm ---- What people need to realise is that although a cambelt box will say Peugeot on it, the belt inside will say Gates on it. The aftermarket part will say Gates on it too. They are the same part. Just because it doesn't come from the Peugeot dealer doesn't mean it's a different part.
The same OE suppliers also manufacture the parts for the aftermarket. As long as you stick with the big brands and don't go for the cheapest parts you'll be getting identical parts or parts of the same quality.

The tensioner was sent to Italy for testing if I remember correctly.
Found to be at fault & the belt slipped.

Hehe i disagree with you there yes gates make the gti 180 cambelt kit and lots of other companies make parts for the dealers but one thing i learnt in my time working on cars is that the genuine one's have alot better stuff in them than the after market ones.
So meny times i seen people surply there own stuff and say these who make the genuine one and then 6 mouths later the part knockerd then they fit a genuine (same make) but for some stange reason it last 3x longer and seem to fit alot easyer.
Sorry i will allways ALLWAYS say genuine is better.
#17: Re: Cambelt Author: Drake, Location: MidlandsPosted: Sat Feb 26, 2011 1:05 am ---- What about the ContiTech timing kits off ECP?
#18: Re: Cambelt Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Feb 26, 2011 2:00 am ---- They are perfectly good belts made by a pretty big reputable company.
#19: Re: Cambelt Author: gti180boy, Location: StaffordPosted: Sat Feb 26, 2011 6:09 am ---- Dont get me wrong gates and conti-tech are good belts i myself fit gates cam belts to alot cars and there alot other makes that make good parts.

#24: Re: Cambelt Author: Drake, Location: MidlandsPosted: Thu Mar 03, 2011 8:45 am ---- Sorry to hijack, I've been quoted £370 for parts and labour (inc water pump) - seems a little steep but I know it's a b***h to change on the 180.
#25: Re: Cambelt Author: Drake, Location: MidlandsPosted: Sat Mar 05, 2011 2:31 am ---- Forgot to actually put the question! What's going rate for cambelt change? I thought it was around 350ish
