#1: 1.4 HDI Cambelt Question Author: Ferdasyn, Posted: Sun May 19, 2013 8:37 am ---- Hi Guys,
After last service on my 206 in March I was told to replace the timing belt within the next year, preferably by October to be safe. Just this morning I heard a rattling and noticed part of the belt has worn/snapped, but most of it is still intact.
Obviously this will need replaced, but my question is will the belt be sufficient or should I go for the whole kit & water pump? I appreciate you probably won't b able to say much without seeing it but I don't know an awful lot about engines or parts so I'm kind of in the dark.

But did you take the plastic cover off, or are you simply looking at the external V-belt instead?
Definately the whole lot straight-away.

#4: Re: 1.4 HDI Cambelt Question Author: Ferdasyn, Posted: Sun May 19, 2013 8:57 am ---- I suppose I could get someone to tow it. A friend has offered to change it if I source the parts - would you recommend this kit?
Perfect bloody timing as well, going on holiday in a fortnight!

Get the timing belt done or it really will be bad timing.
#9: Re: 1.4 HDI Cambelt Question Author: Ferdasyn, Posted: Fri May 31, 2013 10:13 am ---- Will have the timing belt done in the next two months or so. Quick question; It saying Im due a service in 3500 miles or so, what will that entail? It's a 1.4 HDI and its done 98k already.
