#1: Cambelt due? Author: jwoo06, Location: Gosport, Hampshire, UKPosted: Sun Oct 16, 2011 6:08 am ---- Good afternoon everyone,
Hope you're all well. I was looking through my cars service history and it has not had a cambelt done. It is a late 2005 car with a 1.4 16v petrol engine and 35,000 miles (low I know lol) and was wondering when the cambelt is due for replacement.
Thank you

#3: Re: Cambelt due? Author: jwoo06, Location: Gosport, Hampshire, UKPosted: Sun Oct 16, 2011 6:21 am ---- I do mainly start stop and short journeys which obviously puts more stress on the cambelt, so I will probably change it soon. Thank you
#4: Re: Cambelt due? Author: 2Oh!6, Location: GloucesterPosted: Sun Oct 16, 2011 6:22 am ---- Yeah definitely a good idea with it being 6 years old now to.
#5: Re: Cambelt due? Author: jwoo06, Location: Gosport, Hampshire, UKPosted: Sun Oct 16, 2011 6:25 am ---- Yeah I thought that,thank you is it worth changing the water pump too?

2.0 petrol is 80k miles or 8 years whichever comes first
1.6 petrol is 100k miles or 10 years whichever comes first
Then some people say 40k is time to change,then others say 60k
So who knows what the definitive answer is
In other words what do Peugeot recommend??
#7: Re: Cambelt due? Author: 2Oh!6, Location: GloucesterPosted: Sun Oct 16, 2011 6:31 am ---- Yes water pump to may aswell do it in one go, as for above I would never leave a 206's cambelt for 10 years nore 100k
Better to replace a cambelt than an engine.
#8: Re: Cambelt due? Author: jwoo06, Location: Gosport, Hampshire, UKPosted: Sun Oct 16, 2011 7:07 am ---- Thank you guys I'm going to change it and th water pump to be on the saf side, it isn't worth risking it

#11: Re: Cambelt due? Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Oct 16, 2011 11:12 am ---- 60k or 5 years, which ever comes first
#12: Re: Cambelt due? Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Sun Oct 16, 2011 11:14 am ---- As Lee said.
60k/5years. Whatever is first.

Is that for all petrol engines?
