306 DTurbo Cambelt

[Alex Pooley]

Hi,

Just bought an N reg 306 D Turbo with 85K on the clock but it hasn't has a cambelt change. AT what interval should it be changed and what sort of price should I expect to pay?

Cheers

From memory i think Peugeot say 70k...

Get it done now if its never been done, obviously a main dealer will be expensive for this, go to your local independant garage, they're not that expensive.

Get it done as a matter of urgency and get the coolant pump done at the same time. My coolant pump failed at about 81k miles (N reg 306 DTurbo) and I was lucky enough for it not to take the cambelt and the rest of the engine with it. When I had them changed 11 months ago it cost me £175.21 from a decent independent garage. Parts were £61 +VAT and Labour was £88 + VAT. I'm told it can be a pig of a job to do because there is so little room to work in.

jobs pretty easy but dealers hourly rate is what clocks up the price,use genuine parts and independant garage if possible

Thanks for the replies folks. Getting it done with genuine parts at a local independant peugeot garage in Norwich for £94inc. Also been recommendend by a friend that I get the alternater belt done at the same time so shall ask them to do that too.

Cheers
