#1: Peugeot 206 GTI 2.0ltr camshaft sprocket question Author: Seanie280672, Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2016 5:38 am ---- Hi guys, just a quick question, below I've posted 2 picts of basically what my 2 camshaft sprockets look like.
Cam 1 just looks normal
Cam 2 has some kind of weight in it, does anyone know if this weight is required ? Or if it can be removed, or if it's meant to be secured into its sprocket by anything ?
The reason I ask is whilst doing my timing belt, I was able to just pull this weight out of its sprocket and place to one side, then pin the sprockets before removing the old belt, then just push it back into place after finishing, everytime I start the car from cold now, I can hear this weight rubbing on the timing belt cover, it's getting a little annoying, after warming up, it seems to settle down, I guess it's just positioning itself, it must be some sort of balance weight for some reason, but not secured into the sprocket by anything, is it required or can I just do away with it.

Ive ordered the replacement from Peugeot themselves, its not really expensive, £37 with the VAT, the expensive part is getting it fitted, £150 is the cheapest I can get it done for, really cant be bothered after my last cam belt change experience to do it myself.
