DONT TRY THIS YOURSELF.
Three specalist tools, my engine was basically taken out. The belt kits are expensive, I got mine from all parts for £90 including tensioners in the ends. Just say that to they that Euro Car parts are doing them for £92 or something.
My local garage charged me £200 to do mine. And they had two guys working all day on it. Went and spoke to one of the guys about it and he just said "what a complete pain in the as*!". |
ECP cambelts are 'Gates', who supply cambelts to peugeot.
I got my cambelt kit for £46 from GSF, water pump from ECP and all bits came to about £100 all-in.
Kyle [gti180boy] fitted the parts in Stafford - took about 4hrs or so, but he knows what he's doing.
Total came to about £220 fitted (from memory)

Im looking for help to do this as well. I have the engine out the car so might as well do it just now.
It looks very different from the standard GTI as you cant remove the crank pulley like the gti. Is there a guide to offer some advice on this?

As has been mentioned throughout the thread, you need special tools to do it right and cost £100's.

onI know that has been stated before but im not convinced. From working on Pugs before a Peugeot tool is a 6mm drill or a bit of welding rod. I want a guide to see what the process is as the crank pulley has no way to lock like the gti engine

That's correct on an old TU / XU lump 
This ISN'T an old TU / XU lump, either use the correct timing tools for the EW lump or risk trashing your engine.

Thanks for that. Just confirmed what I thought I had to do. Just finished changing the belt with no issues at all.
I didnt use any fancy Peugeot tools to change it. 2 x 6mm drill bits for locking the cams and a made up bracket to lock the flywheel.
Once that was all done it was no different from any other belt change. No trickery. I had the engine out the car but to do the belt including making the flywheel lock tool took 1 hour.
