Peugeot Expert 1.6 HDi Timing Belt SNAPS at 133,000 Miles, Full Repair Breakdown | The Car Edition

In this episode, we take you inside the 2019 Peugeot Expert 1.6 BlueHDi diesel van that was recovered to our workshop after suffering a snapped timing belt at 133,000 miles. What started as a standard non-start fault quickly turned into a major repair, as the broken belt had caused serious internal engine damage. When a timing belt snaps on the 1.6 HDi (DV6) engine, it can lead to bent valves, broken rockers and lifters, and in this case, a bent camshaft — all of which had to be replaced.

Our mechanic Owen walks through the entire process step-by-step, showing you exactly what goes into a full top-end rebuild on one of these Peugeot engines. From stripping the head, inspecting the damage, sourcing the correct parts, fitting a new camshaft, and replacing the rocker arms and hydraulic lifters, this video is packed with real workshop insight. We also replaced the full timing belt kit, carried out oil and filter changes, and reset everything to manufacturer spec before test-driving the vehicle.

This timing belt failure is a textbook case of what can happen when these components aren't replaced in time. If you're driving a Peugeot Expert, Citroën Dispatch, or any van running the 1.6 HDi DV6 engine, and you're close to or past the 100,000-mile mark, this video is your warning — replace that belt before it costs you thousands. The total cost for this repair job came to £2,207.30, including parts, labour, and VAT.

If you're searching for timing belt repair advice, Peugeot Expert engine rebuild costs, or want to know the symptoms of a snapped timing belt on a 1.6 diesel, this video covers it all.
