Does anyone know when the cambelt should be changed on a 306? I have seen a 1.8 306xs for sale it's 6 years old with just over 60,000 on the clock, I'm just wondering when it needs to be changed and how much roughly would a dealer charge for the job.
Thanks for any help
change it ASAP. book says 72k or 5 years dealer price is around £200 my local mechanic did mine for £40 plus the belt belts are £30 from Pug, or £10 from DIY store
I think Pug recommend 72k, although if lots of short journeys are done people recommend half that (36k). When I had it done 2-3 years ago on our
306 we were charged about £75 by Peugeot (total price was - I think - around £150 which was for front brake discs and the cam-belt). This was Pug Aldershot BTW.Hope that helps.

I was told 60k ... then forgot about it. Then mine went at 71k.
for the parts
Haynes book of lies for the instructions and it should take about 2 hours.
While you are at it do the tensioner, if it fails it is as good as the belt snapping.
And I would definitely recommend using a belt from the dealer, change the auxilliary belt too, and check all the tensioners. Any decent garage should be able to do it.
