 I have never seen one of these fail in this way before! The older style ones yes, but never these. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Over the years I've seen plenty of weird and wonderful failures but this has me stumped. I've never seen the later pulleys fail either and were crack tested prior to going on as well which is what really p*&^es me off. The pulley has in effect exploded ripping the side out of the timing belt before the piece jammed into the cover. There was no bang, rattle, etc the engine just stopped. mocinim wrote: quote: what do 306's burn like?

Think I may have been the culprit.While making this up, I might have cracked it while test fitting.  |

i doubt peugeot used one of those on the j4r and j4rs due to the adjustable pulleys, they need to be loose when you tension the belt.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

It's not used for anything other than the moment you crack/lock the cam pulley bolts. It doesn't interfere with the adjustment as it's already been removed.________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

I've always managed to torque the cam pulley bolts without the need for one of those. There is generally always someone floating about that I can get to sit in the car with it in 6th gear and put the brake on.________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

far from ideal, puts a very high force through the tensioner, probably why I've seen the casting break off where the tensioner thread is.I use one of these.  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

So how do you undo/torque the bottom pulley bolt then? Lock the crank somehow I guess? ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

I've always used the method I described without issue.A screwdriver in the ring gear could cause broken teeth on the flywheel, not something I'd like to cause. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
