Peugeot 406 Timing Belt Change

Changing a timing belt on a peugeot 406 2.0 HDi 110 DW10ATED
The car has around 122,000 miles and apparently it had a new belt put on at 79,000 miles but there was no receipts so to be sure i changed it.

It is quite an involved job, a lot of things to do and it needs to be done right otherwise it can wreck the cars engine.
I would recommend reading the Haynes Manual and this, and reading them a number of times to fully understand what is involved:

The tensioning procedure i did not show completely in the video as its hard to show on camera and its best if you read the guide to see how its done.

I also replaced the water pump as its good to do when your in there, the crankshaft oil seal was leaking hence all the oil/sludge in the area, engine degreaser was used liberally to clean up the area and timing belt covers before putting the new belt on.

Videos that will also help:

Crankshaft pulley replacement:

Filling coolant and bleeding the cooling system on a HDi:
   • Coolant and Thermostat Change  


I hope this video helps to show what is involved with a timing belt change on a 2.0 HDi DW10ATED engine, but i strongly recommend that you read the manual and the other guides.
I only intend for this video to help and condense the timing belt replacement procedure, any suggestions on how to do things differently are welcome.
