Cam belt

[chaser]

Hi Guys
As you may have read in my other posts , I have only had old motors before and done all my own repairs and maintenence , but now haveing gone mad and bought a relitivly new motor for me and dont want to b***** it up but as it is a 2.2 hdi 2007 with only 24000 on the clock i never thought it would want a cambelt for years but having looked on here and other places, apparently it should have been done at 5 years.
Now having done them myself on other old motors is there anything that would be hard to do by myslf on this or any other thoughts on it , please.
Thanks
Chas

if you've done a belt before then this shouldn't be a problem for you.

only extra tools needed are a socket big enough to fit the crankshaft nut, cant remember the exact size but around 48mm from memory.

a set of locking pins, or suitably sized drill bits, to lock the injector pump and camshaft.

a second person to stand on the brake pedal while you undo the crank nut....unless you want to remove the starter motor and lock the ring gear.

and a torque wrench capable of 240lbft to tighten the crank nut.

you could always give Geo a pm or http://www.peckshillgarage.com/

he will give you a price and a Funster discount if you want a garage to do it for you its about 41 miles from uttoxeter and an hour and he will know if you need anything else ie. waterpump tensioners etc

firstly if you have changed the cam belt on other cars/vans you should have no problem changing the belt on yours as the basic machanics of engines have changed little,but as your's is a common rail engine the good news is there is no injector pump to time up,the ecu deals with the injector timing through electronic controlled injectors,so this makes fitting a cam belt a whole lot easyer ,you will need to lock the crankshaft up useing a 7.5 mm drill bit and the cam shaft up using a 8mm drill bit,i would advise changing the pulleys and tensioners and also the water pump.
the hole for the locking pin on the crank shaft if i remember correctly is above the starter motor,

I thought the 2.2 engine had a chain?


I never noticed before you had the 2.2

just read Chris's post so forget all the drivel in my post....that was for the earlier, pre common rail engine. oh:

same principal though...locking pins and large socket.

Well , had some good news today, thought Id ask around some garages on the phone how much it would cost to have it done , had various qoutes of up to £420 plus vat but then tried one in Stoke who I had never spoken to before and the very helpful lady said "I will have to ring you back on that one, give me your reg number" so half an hour later she rang back to tell me that she had actually rang peugoet to confirm it , and said it was a chain and didnt want doing, would the others have had it in and said they had done it do you think, or would they have found out first as she did.
Apparently it changed half way through 2006
I know one thing now I know where I shall be going when service time comes around
