Kent, head gaskets on these are pretty bullet proof and cambelts very rarely go providing they are fitted correctly and change times are stuck to. Its a very reliable engine really when looked after.
So other than cam belts not bring changed what the weakest part?

Is that pretty standard when changing the cam belt. I feel like I'm being fobbed off but as I'm not too hot on cam belts, I can't just tell him he's responsible without knowing for sure he's at fault. Any help on this matter would be very much appreciated as this is a right shitter to be in :/

Both pulleys really need to be adjusted, They are known to break up (Early and later types) but you cannot really moan at the Garage about this as it's more of a design issue

So both pulleys on the end of the cam need to be adjusted?
So the fact the bolt off the end of the pulley came off, and caused the pulley to wobble and slipped the belt, is the garages fault?

You could get them with that seems how the pulleys req adjusting for correct fitment
If you can get an automata print out of how to do the cambelt then if they deny that you don't adjust the pulley for correct fitment you can claim they fitted the belt incorrectly which resulted in the belt failing

Is anyone able to provide that print out for me? I'm affraid I don't have autodata.
RE: What a lady garden. - 306Dan - 14-09-2013
I'm sure someone on here will have access to autodata over the weekend or an official peugeot repair manual
RE: What a lady garden. - Niall - 14-09-2013
SO have you taken the cambelt cover off and is the exhaust pulley bolt loose? If so, make sure the threads arent damaged and if not, chuck it at him and tell him he needs to learn how to check everything is tight!
RE: What a lady garden. - miles - 14-09-2013
Take a pic if you can, there are 2 types of Cam Pulley, one with 3 bolts on which are more prone to snapping as over tightening them causes the metal to crack but dead easy to adjust, the later type with one bolt in the middle are better but can give issues, the bolts should have thread lock on them at the very least.
If you can see Tipex on there its a sign of doom and gloom as the person doing it has little knowledge of cam belts
RE: What a lady garden. - callumcull - 15-09-2013
I was thinking about this a lot last night, basically I can't be arsed arguing with a garage, I know what response I'm going to get. It's going off the road for a while and I'll come back to it some point next year with a new engine. Pretty bad timing to take on a project like this as I'll be going back into the Navy soon. I've acquired a BMW 318 ti se compact the other night. It's near enough perfect, comfy, silent and quick, but it's not my 6. I still have a lot of love for that car, and would have it back over this BMW any day.
I'll come back to the 6 next year with tons of enthusiasm, and it WILL be back on the road.
Thanks guys for all your help with this matter, really shows the helpful community spirit of this forum!
