Hey all,Had the 6 in at the garage today to ascertain source of the oil leak and my mechanic thinks its coming from the cam carriers. Can anyone tell me anymore about this as to how serious it is/can be? Is it a sign of anything untoward or? Should i be worried basically?! I did a search but it turned up barely anything on this topic. Thanks  ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!'' Why drive a Golf....when you can drive a GTi-6? |

whip it off, clean up the faces and use a beed of ATV gasket around. Tighten up hand tight and leave for an hour then torque them up.

It's fairly common to those who have had them off before, as the rubber seals attached to the rocker covers are pretty much 1 use and you can't by the seals by themselves.No idea on cost of doing it as i've always done it myself ________________________________________ Seat Leon Cupra FR / 306 GTI6 / Breaking 205 GTI6 / Caterham 7 / Mercedes Sprinter 311CDI LWB Sold: Fisher Fury - Laguna DCI Estate - P1 306 XSI - E30 BMW 325i Baur Convertible - Daihatsu Fourtack - Suzuki GSXR600 - 205 Rallye |

For the cam carriers themselves I'd use something like Stag Wellseal.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I wont be attempting this myself...i can barely change a wheel!  But my mechanic said he cant fit me in for 3 weeks...prob wise though. My meridian has developed a horrific knocking sound on the front drivers wheel...im hoping just a wheel bearing. Two 306's costing me a fortune....! ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!'' Why drive a Golf....when you can drive a GTi-6? |

Ah, was reading this as rocker covers rather than cam carriers  ________________________________________ Seat Leon Cupra FR / 306 GTI6 / Breaking 205 GTI6 / Caterham 7 / Mercedes Sprinter 311CDI LWB Sold: Fisher Fury - Laguna DCI Estate - P1 306 XSI - E30 BMW 325i Baur Convertible - Daihatsu Fourtack - Suzuki GSXR600 - 205 Rallye |

The cam covers are easy and would take 30 mins tops, the cam carriers are a cam out job, so cambelt etc has to come off, very common on most pug engines, not just the XU's________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |

Thats pretty much what my guy said with it being a bit of a pig job.Is it ok to drive if i keep an eye on oil level as its not dropping alot? Or should i just keep it on the drive until it goes in?
