So as some of you may be aware I'm currently in the middle of overhauling my GTI. While doing this i have hit a good few issues which has meant i have spent quite a lot of time on the phone to my local main dealer and various motor factors looking for replacement parts. In doing all of this I have been made aware of some rather worrying information. It turns out that Peugeot and most if not all of the main motor factors are now no longer able to supply cambelt kits due to a shortage of the tensioner (137 kit) and pulleys (136 kit) you are however still able to purchase the belt on its own however if you do so i hope you have better luck than i have just had as my genuine belt half split after the first turn over. Turns out I was sold a belt that was boxed back in 2008.
I have also found that Peugeot no longer supply master cylinders at all and most of the motor factors can only supply none ABS models which is absolutely no help for me so i am currently in the middle of re-boxing up the 5th incorrectly supplied one and currently in conversations with Spoox motorsport who I'm waiting for them to supply me photos of what i hope is the correct item.
so basically if you are sitting on a lovely stock pile of parts I think you could very well be sitting on a gold mine in the coming years
