Hi all, new to this forum, just bought a 206 quiksilver 1.6 hdi 2005 model with 20,000 on the clock, i didn't get any service history with the car so i am wondering when this is do for a cam belt service, wold be gratefull for any comments

I asked about the timing of routine maintenance earlier this year. Apparently Peugeot recommend every 5 years but Autodata recommend every 8 years or 80,000 miles. Mine hasn't been done yet AFAIK. It has 25K on the clock and is 7 years old. I take my car off the road each Winter so I think I will have this done after I put it back on the road next Spring.

See my post viewtopic.php?pid=103689#p103689

Is that for a diesel Thar?

I was quotng what you told me in my post but mine is a petrol. The link you provided above states "All HDi engines without particle filter: 120 000 km or 6 years
All HDi engines with particle filter: 180 000 km or 9 years" but more relevant to me
"All 4 cylinder petrol engines: 80 000 km or 4 years." so now I don't know what is right :/

Don't worry about the petrols, what you've quoted is OK. But I didn't know about diesels - googled it, and came up with the link above.

I checked in the Haynes manual, which incidentally recommends every 40,000 miles for petrol models (talk about playing safe!), and Haynes recommends every 36,000 miles for diesel models. Interestingly, Haynes makes no recommendation on a time basis.

Thanks for looking it up and clarifying. Looks like I'm OK for a bit then.
