has anyone anything good to say about these? i did a cam belt change not long a go on a 206cc-EW10 engine,

fitted a Conti kit, i noticed the tensioner and idler bearings were made by INA which are good bearings

i will more than likely fit a gates or dayco kit to my 6 but just wanted to hear anyones opinions

Plus the conti kits are £56 trade

When the car was first released Peugeot recommended 72k, however after all the early failures they halved it to 36k. Yes

I agree , which is why I already have a water pump and cambelt kit already.

However, it's not that simple because its looking like it will be worth changing the head gasket at the same time

Yes, it is rather long-winded. Jsa666 would you mind trimming it down slightly please as long sigs do cause a lot of unwanted forum clutter. Thanks. Smile
