cam belt renewal

[happy jack]

Please could someone tell me the mileage for the cam belt change on a Peugeot 206 1.4 2004 registered and 35,500 miles on the clock. Thank You

i believe its over 80,000, more modern vehicles require belt changes less often, some 100,000+

With respect to the last answer, For the price of a belt to the price of a Cylinder Head which could work out in the Hundreds, I would chage the belt at least at 55000.

Garage say change at 50t . IF you intend to keep the car then look at changing at 40t a small price to pay against the cost involved IF the belt breaks, above assuming its petrol.

Autodata (the industry bible) and Peugeot dealers both quote 80,000..under normal road conditions. i.e. not competition/taxi/stop start delivery .I have owned a 1.4 petrol (currently own a 1.4 diesel) i was more than confident to put 50,000+ on the clock and not worry about it
