peugeot 306 d turbo 1996 - heating matrix problem

Hi could do with some advise, just purchased a 306 turbo diesel, could
someone tell me how often the cam belt needs to be replaced, the car has
105k on the clock, was told when i purchased it that it was change about 6
months ago when the vechicle had its last service but looking through the
service history have no record of any service since 2003 when the cam belt
was changed at 75k.

Also if i turn the heater on i get a windscreen full of dust and a horrible
smell, as far as im aware its down to the heating matrix could anyone
confirm this???

Any help appreciated!!!

 

Cambelt replacement interval is 72K (miles), assuming a genuine quality
Peugeot belt is used.

Has it got air con? The smell can come from the condensation you get on the
air con matrix. The dust is what can be sucked in through the system.
Suggest you run it at max heat and full blower for 5 minutes or so. Should
clear it out.

No air con, but will try your suggestion,

Many Thanks

 

A hell of a lot of dust seems to blow in my 306 even when it is
parked. I keep meaning to have a go at making a dust filter for it.

 

the heating matrix had past its best before date. After a few arguments
with the dealer i purchased the car from they have agreed to replace the
heater matrix, should have the car back tomorrow so hopefully end of
problem.
