Someone knowledgeable on Cambelt changes?
Discussion
I'm about to change the cambelt on my 1998 Peugeot 306 GTi-6 as I'm slightly concerned that it's gonna give up the ghost fairly soon.
Apparently they're notorious for either the tension-roller or water-pump seizing and taking the cam-belt and rest of the engine with them. Some have been known to break on as little milegae as 30k, and with it being on 30k on its current belt (and the dealer NOT having changed the tenioner or roller with it originally) i'm gonna play safe.
Does anyone know anything about the cambelt change on these motors?
Or point in the direction of a generic tutorial/guide with photos etc?
Never tried one before, but i'm assuming it can't be that hard so long as i lock the cams and crank properly and replace belt in exactlty the same manner?
