306oc - Peugeot 306 Owners Club & Forum

Hey all

I'm Nadine, I'm new here, just purchased my 3rd pug 306. This time it's a black phase 2 GTI-6. Am I right in saying a black GTI-6 is rare? Anyways this is a project for me, it has a few things needing doing. And I will be asking for loads of help no doubt.
Here are some pics

Poor car had a hard life but plenty potential

Welcome aboard

'6 looks like it could do with some TLC but nothing too bad... It's not an overly rare colour but it's a good one nonetheless.

Engine seems to have been taken care of. How often should u do the timing belt on these? The guy had it done 10k miles ago, with receipts to prove

Should be good for another 20k, although depends how long ago it was changed... But I can't imagine it was long ago if it's only done 10k

Welcome to the club

They should have the cambelt changed every 36,000 miles, though most people seem to go with 30,000 who know the cars. Some people have been unfortunate enough to have the belt snap at less than 36,000 so it's definitely a good idea to keep on top of it. It's also advisable to change it every 3 years regardless of mileage.

The receipts show late 2010 so happy days I'm good for another little while I'm about to post in other parts of the forum for idea on how to fix what's wrong with her

Looks shite mate. Needs a good clean and a good sort out but you knew this anyway. Plenty of peeps on here to help you out. Top bloke for getting a 6 though mate.

Thanks Kingy. She only cost me £200 and most of the issues are cosmetic that I can sort. Em I'm more a top chick than a top bloke but I knew what u meant

That's a bargain to be fair, nice one . Stick a project thread up to show your progress.

Welcome along. looks like you have a good project on your hands!

Welcome, i like it. Its messy.

Welcome, looks to be a bit of a project! Where abouts in dunf you from? I used to live in glenrothes, not too far down the road

Welcome along. Looks like a right old dog you got there. looking forward to seeing her shine again

hello and welcome to the club

Welcome.

Black and 3dr... That ticks my boxes! Sure it'll be alright when you've finished sorting it out.

Hey Nadine, welcome along for the ride!

Spent a fair bit of time in Rosyth and Dumfs last year, not to mention the amount of money spent on ale. A good night out, Dumfermiline that is!

Good luck with your project.

Welcome Nadine

Hey samass I live across the road from Sky in Dunfermline, practically Rosyth.
Pugluv, she is a bit rougher in the flesh however went to pick her up today and she wouldn't star I'm hoping its coz she had no fuel, going back Friday so will find out

fingers crossed for you!

Ah yes, I know where that is. I used to work for sky over in kirckaldy, call centre junk, hated it haha

Ahhh u worked for MGT. the good thing is I don't take calls
Thanks dave1221 if she doesn't start I'll b back to the drawing board looking for another project

yep, spot on! was there a grand total of a month

so when you say she doesnt start, does she crank over but not fire?

Yeah cranks over but didn't fire. So either no fuel or no spark. He said it had sat for a few days, and that there was no petrol in it.

ah hopefully an easy fix then

Welcome. Needs some loving.

Theres lots of knowledgeable and helpful people on here.

Yeah hopefully otherwise if it doesn't start, I'm not buying it lol. I need it to run to get it home x

poor thing deffo has had a hard life by the looks of it bit nothing a bit of tlc wont sort out welcome to the fourm btw alot of helpful people here and know what there talking about

lol not starting isnt a good selling point, but and theres alway a but, if you know some one who's handy with the spanners and can get it going again, its a good bargening point, offer them scrap value for it as it dosnt run

What is scrap value? I do know someone handy ill see if he can come with me Friday morning
