She said Peugeot specialist said cam belt needs changing every 3 years but surely 4 years is the max amount of time it should need doing ?Cam belt 'prone' to snapping, NO its not prone to snapping its the owner's that are prone to not looking after the engine properly. Get them for 2k, well that seems a little high compared to the ones iv seen being sold for. ________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

Over-tensioning is a major contributing factor to these failing early.That, and the fact that the early tensioners had bearings which liked to fail. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

That, and the fact that the early tensioners had bearings which liked to fail. not over tensioned as I did it!...... when looking at it it did look like a stone or something had been rubbing on the back of it, though nothing was found inside the covers, all the pulleys etc were all still good so think it was just unlucky. but the are prone to breaking early when compared to a 2.0 16v xsi! They will make the original Peugeot 60k service interval easily! Peugeot themselves got caught out with the GTi6 at first as they first said it woul do 60k but after many broke early they had to revise this, I know of a few people taking Peugeot to court and winning after having theirs break! 4 years or 40k is what they say but 3 years or 30k is best to be safe, but its up to the owner. Id rather change it early than have it break  and as for prices then people on here are being stupid and shooting themselves in the foot, surely we should all be saying yes they are worth more rather than bring the prices done to nothing! Its in our best interests to keep prices high! but £2000 doesnt buy the one featured for sure! its worth far more ________________________________________ Carl Chambersemail; pugnacious.peugeot@yahoo.co.uk .

I watched the clip on youtube and thought she said that £2k would get you a good one, which to be fair im sure it would.If i was after another gti6 as a daily then i would be wanting to spend top dollar on a decent one, not £500 on one that's been scrimped on all it's life and will need plenty doing to it to get it up to scratch. ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

By far the better way to go. Sooner or later the market will realise this and good ones will be worth more than dog-eared ones run on a shoestring. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

I would say 1.5 k is the average price for a 'good one' but then it does all depend on the phase .I really dont get when mechanics say i just tighten them up by hand, i think this is the one major cause in them snapping instead of using the proper tension tool which i have used on my 205 gti5. There is a reason for using this tool, its called accuracy. I do get that we should all bring the price up for our own good, i for one want that but we also need to get real on what they actually go for in real life. The bad ones of which there are a lot around does not help with the overall view of the cars too. ________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.
