#1: timing belt Author: steviebee, Location: kentPosted: Tue Mar 21, 2017 4:49 pm ---- Has anybody used a Gates timing belt kit? going to get the belt done in a few months on my 2.0 HDi. What is the recommended interval for belt change. I spoke to a peugeot dealer a couple of years back and they said 90K.

I think it's ten years or 90K ... which ever comes sooner although I'd be reluctant to leave one that long (I've had a cambelt fail ... or should I say the tensioner seized ... and it isn't pretty or cheap to fix!)

Pretty easy to do a belt on the 2l HDi found in the 206. Few hours work at most really.

#9: Re: timing belt Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sat Mar 25, 2017 8:45 am ---- The SEEM tool?
Most likely found covered in a layer of dust at your local Peugeot / Citroen main dealer workshop.
#10: Re: timing belt Author: commandosqueak, Location: Lower SlaughterPosted: Sat Mar 25, 2017 5:15 pm ---- hmmm so how would you test to make sure you have the belt at the correct tension?
#11: Re: timing belt Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sun Mar 26, 2017 9:47 am ---- The twist test is perfectly fine for most timing belts.
#12: Re: timing belt Author: commandosqueak, Location: Lower SlaughterPosted: Mon Mar 27, 2017 1:53 pm ---- Cheers MrBSI, My uncles 307 needs it belt done. He has the same engine that in the 2.0 hdi 206
