306 cambelt

Does anyone know when the cambelt should be changed on a 306?
I have seen a 1.8 306xs for sale it's 6 years old with just over 60,000 on
the clock, I'm just wondering when it needs to be changed and how much
roughly would a dealer charge for the job.

Thanks for any help

 

change it ASAP.
book says 72k or 5 years
dealer price is around £200
my local mechanic did mine for £40 plus the belt
belts are £30 from Pug, or £10 from DIY store

 

I think Pug recommend 72k, although if lots of short journeys are done
people recommend half that (36k). When I had it done 2-3 years ago on our
306 we were charged about £75 by Peugeot (total price was - I think - around
£150 which was for front brake discs and the cam-belt). This was Pug
Aldershot BTW.

Hope that helps.

I was told 60k ... then forgot about it. Then mine went at 71k.

for the parts

Haynes book of lies for the instructions and it should take about 2 hours.

While you are at it do the tensioner, if it fails it is as good as the
belt snapping.

And I would definitely recommend using a belt from the dealer, change
the auxilliary belt too, and check all the tensioners. Any decent
garage should be able to do it.
