#1: Peugeot 206 GTI 136BHP Timing belt change, OMG never again Author: Seanie280672, Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2016 6:18 am ---- OMG, I did my timing belt yesterday on a Peugeot 206 GTI, (136BHP not the 180).
I brought a Gates timing belt kit which came with the full water pump with housing, way better quality than the plastic one by Peugeot themselves, this one is all metal, the only downside to this is there is 1 bolt to remove, and 3 nuts, which at first I didnt realize were nuts on studs, I thought they were bolts, and in-order to get the whole housing off the attached metal water pipe, you have to remove the studs too, lol, 8mm socket fixed this for me, but still wasnt easy, its tight in there with no room to move.
Never again am I going to try this job, it would have been easier to lift the whole engine out, change the parts and drop the engine back in, the timing belt cover bolts are near as impossible to get too, especially the back ones with the AirCon pipes in the way, what a stupid place to put the ECU, the timing belt I fitted was that difficult to get on, I had to check 10 times it was actually the right size lol.
in the end we fitted it in a different order to what Peugeot suggested, left cam one till last, got it around everything else, crank, pulleys, water pump etc. and with all locking pins still in place, three of them, we knocked the crank out of time very slightly to give enough slack to get the belt over cam 1 and then pulled the crank back into time with the timing marks we set, even then it was a massive struggle, really dont see any need for a tensioner here, the timing belt is over tight already in my opinion, 6 and a half hours to do the job and most of the time was spent getting the timing belt cover off.
Just one other thing to add very quickly which ive never seen before, my 2 cam pulleys dont look the same, Cam 2 has some kind of heavy round weight in it which I had to remove in order to pin the cam, it just pulled out, not held in by anything, in fact, im wondering now if its even supposed to be there, once the engine is running at speed, the only thing stopping this thing from flying out is the cam cover itself, anyone ever seen anything like this before ?

Did you disconnect the driveshafts lee to do this? I've taken my timing covers off and am yet to put them back, not looking forward to it
