Get it to a Peugeot dealer or specialist then charge the garage for the work.

It sounds like they havnt been able to time it properly.
As i say take it to Peugeot and get them to confirm that and then bill the company that messed the work up in the first place.

The word "b******s" springs to mind lol, its running bad because they havnt done the job right, was it down on power before it went in?

#12: Re: gti 180 timing Author: ramigojag, Location: worcestershirePosted: Wed Jan 25, 2012 10:41 am ---- It will probably be the exhaust cam one tooth out it does happen quite regularly.
I disagree with the person above^
its not the 180's fault people can't time it properly it is awkward

I think this is what Lee probably meant but he just couldnt be arsed to spell it out
#14: Re: gti 180 timing Author: chris83rfc, Location: scotlandPosted: Wed Jan 25, 2012 10:55 am ---- The power was fine before i put it in, i only got belt done because i had reached the 60,000 mark an didnt want to take any chances.
