Peugeot Expert Van Cambelt change

when replacing the pump if the timing belt has to be removed , it is not necessary to replace the belt PROVIDING THAT THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE IS FOLLOWED
before removing the belt mark it with an arrow indication direction of movement replace the belt with the arrow correctly position as before removal
timing belts ( for want of a better description) breakin from running in a set direction
if replaced running in the reverse direction then the "breakin" gets far worse and early belt failure occurs
when the belt was replaced , if the cam seals , crank seals idler and hydraulic adjuster were not replaced then it might be worthwhile to have it done with the water pump as oil on a belt reduces the life to about 1/2

most european cars only give colored lights when maintenance is due or a malfunction is detected. since the car is running "sluggish", may want to get a fualt code pulled from the ECM to help find the problem.

Did the poor starting coincide with the cambelt change ,as it sounds like you may have a camshaft/fuel pump timing issue.If the pump/camshaft/crankshaft are not locked in place when you change the belt they can easily move a tooth or two.If the problem didnt coincide with the belt change then it might be a fuel problem.

you mean the timing belt i presume ,ten years old low mileage but its the age ,the belt may be ok but take the top part of the cover off and look at the belt ,if you can the shape of the teeth showing on the back of the belt then change it as they only cost 16euros for the petrol engine and they are very easy to change done one yesterday andf it took me all of 20mins .

around 144k or every 10 years which ever comes first..;)

you should change the timing belt at 60,000 miles or every four years (which ever comes first) this is because the belt will deteriorate due to stress,temperature,ect. replace the belt tensioner while tou are there..

Every 80000km or 4 years. 1km=0.625 mile

If its DIY job then you can download the instructions i have uploaded for you (available for 45 days to download from today).

It is better if you change the tensioner roller and water pump when you change the cambelt as they are running under same belt and suffering the wear & tear as well.

usually you should do it for peugeot diesel at 122000 miles along with water pump and the tensioner roller that runs under the cambelt too. But to be on the safe side do it at 100000 and save the fortune.
It took me (DIY job) about 6-8 hours as i wanted to save 450 pounds.

i believe it to be 50,000 miles or five years....if your not sure change it its cheaper than an engine repair!!
