Author: broadblaster, Location: south coastPosted: Tue Nov 26, 2013 2:18 pm ---- tbh its not that a easy job to do on the 180 as said above you do need the right locking tools,the engine does not have to come right out but you do need to undo the engine mounts and move the egine accross in the bay to make enough room to change it.

#6: Re: 206 180 cambelt. Author: Barking, Location: sarcasm-in-shedloadsPosted: Tue Nov 26, 2013 4:07 pm ---- Kyle [gti180boy] in Stafford (J13 M6) charged about £150 to do it on my 180 a few years ago [I bought the cambelt kit & water pump from a motor factors].
It took about 4 hours to do.
He did Jamie's too I think, as well as a host of others. Highly recommended (if he's still doing it, of course - he works for a VW garage now)

Will check in the morning for the book time, im always here if you want it done mate. Bit far to travel though!

Not an engine out jobby, but does require moving the engine across off the mounts like previously said. A lot of care is needed when locking the engine in place when removing the belt, and it's a bit of a pig to do. IIRC the most common one is the exhaust cam to jump a tooth or 2 during a belt change. What caused so many people to come on here saying they'd had the belt changed and the car was running like a pig & way down on power.
#9: Re: 206 180 cambelt. Author: JamieM, Posted: Wed Nov 27, 2013 5:12 am ---- Mine was out a tooth or too before it was changed my friend (mechanic said) unsure if mine has had two changes in it's life but it runs better than when I first got it seems alot more punchy.
When I got my first 180 garages never wanted to touch it and they said things like you need a Peugeot specialist but I thought everyone had got over that now it's not new ect lol.
