Excellent well made video, clear comprehensive explanations, great camera work, steady well lit shots and great angles showing all aspects of the belt change. Many thanks for creating and uploading. I now feel more confident about tackling my 1007 1.6 16v sport timing belt, tensioner, idle pulley and water pump change. Cheers!👍😎

Hi mate, just wanted to thankyou for this video. Did my little C3 TU5JP4 cambelt change today and although I had a workshop manual, this video was my go to, well made and so helpful. Thanks again. Jack from New Zealand 🙂

[@diydaly]

👍👍 thanks , glad it helped

[@2010sooty]

Did this following your guide today. I would have been lost without this video. It took me all day probably about 8 hours but I did other things as I went like an oil change too. Going to tackle the clutch next week I hope it goes as smoothly as this. Thanks for uploading.

[@diydaly]

Glad it helped! thanks for the comment

[@2010sooty]

Rechecked everything today just to make sure everything was still tight (which it was) but I’ve noticed the arrow is no longer within tolerance in the cut out on the tensioner. Is this normal that it moves from where it was originally when the tensioner was tightened down? I ran it for 15 mins last night doing the coolant so I’m guessing it might have just stretched a bit now in use. I’m not sure if I should reset it to the original position. First one I’ve ever done that’s why I took the cover off to recheck everything 😅 Many thanks

[@2010sooty]

I’m checking at the same position as set with the pins in.

[@2010sooty]

Just found reference saying should be within 2mm of normal position after 4 rotations. It’s 2mm out of the “window” to the left. It’s had about 15000 Revolutions so should be ok by the looks of it 😅 Belt tension feels good by hand. Such a stressful thing the first time but only took 20 mins to get the cover off to check. Well worth it for peace of mind. Hopefully my comment will help someone in a similar position anyway. Cheers

[@diydaly]

@@2010sooty yeah that’s fine mate , it’s completely normal that it will move 👍👍

Good explanation of how to service the belt and other parts. It's a little bit of work but not so difficult as other people make it to be. Just keep thing on it's place and mark the positions, tork it to spec and job is done. I need to service my belt so thanks to your video I'm confident i can replicate the steps you showed. I also have a book for extra guide for reference. Thanks again. Great video. 👍

This is the best video on YT for this particular engine. Now i can have a crack at my Citroen . Its basically the same car as this Peugeot. Good onya mate 👍😁🇦🇺 Edit: Oops, this IS a Citroen. Its a C4 whilst mine is a C3. Very similar though. Thanks again 😊

[@CitroenC2R2413]

Excellent video lads! 👏 question for ye, I’m replacing both cams and timing belt, I’m guessing once I pin the crank and mark the position of the cam pulleys to the head I should be ok with keeping the timing correct?

[@diydaly]

Thanks , because your camshafts are slotted in the back just line them up with the time tool that’s all.. the pulleys are floating

[@ewanbaxter9199]

Thanks very much for this. Please point out it is NOT the hole with the arrow (Why the arrow and a second hole anyway) on the inlet cam pulley when locking it in position. You showed in your vid the correct hole but it can be confusing. Thanks again.

[@diydaly]

👍👍

[@alikalany6586]

so does it have any torque specs?? or you just tight it as hard as you can ??

[@diydaly]

All listed in the description

[@bobbybird9433]

Good video. I used the belt marks and the timing was totally off and it wouldn’t start. Moved the crank gear back anti-clockwise one tooth and it runs but not as much power… arguably confused. Used dowels on the cam sprockets. Used a locking pin on the flywheel. Trying to index flywheel different positions but there’s only one where it will run and just don’t seem to have the same power even though it runs really well.

[@diydaly]

Sounds odd mate! These are normally quite strait forward, if you are pinned up on all the correct places should be mint

[@DT200LC]

great video and explanation. i would like to ask you, if i lock the camshaft pulleys is there a problem if i don’t lock the crankshaft ?

[@diydaly]

no you can paintmark it if need be mate

May I know about the tensioner pulley...when the belt moving...is not the tensioner pulley moving itself to pull the belt...after I replaced the new one tensioner pulley...it seem to move front and backwards while I rotate the crankshaft pulley to check the movement...?

[@diydaly]

Hi! It’s abit hard to say without seeing it but I wouldn’t really expect you to see the pulley move a lot , the alignment peg may move abit

[@shahwani1175]

Ya...it's move abit...I just want to know...this is my first time to change it myself...

Hi did you lock the crank at all?

Just marked it , you can lock it if need be

[@jyeesing]

I see that the intake CAM has two holes, how do you know which one you should lock the CAM with?

[@diydaly]

I can't remember 100% as it was a while ago but im pretty sure only 1 of the hole correctly lines up mate

[@bobbybird9433]

Only one hole will take an 8mm dowel

Does this timing belt kit work for all TU5 engines? I have a 2005 Peugeot 307 1.6l tu5. I am not sure of the series engine i have. I am a newbie to these cars.

Hi bud,is it possible to tell me where the timing marks are,as my wifes car broke down yesterday,and from what i've been told,the cam belt had snapped,i haven't looked to see if any damage has been caused yet,but if i am extremely lucky i need to line everything back up so i can begin the process of putting in a new pump and belt,my wifes car is a xsara picasso 1.6 16v,any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated,thanks.

It should just be exactly the same as in this video mate

[@daveshipman2677]

I followed what you did on the video,i tried to turn it over today,and for a split second it tried to fire up,but now it turns over,but refuses to start,so i'm now assuming damage has been caused to valves,thought i'd just get away with it,but i wasn't lucky enough,so thanks for your reply mate,cheers.

Sorry to bother you, I just have a silly question about the torques, I use a KG toque wrench, and 25NM (for the cranksahft pulley) is just 2,5KG and it seems to me not enough tight for that part. Please correct me if I'm using a wrong conversion rate.

[@diydaly]

that does appear to be the correct conversion, this is for the pulley that has 3 fixing bolts.. is that they same as you've got?

[@ElFuyu]

[@martymartin2894]

This will probably sound stupid as i know nothing about mechanics. The timing belt looks like it has teeth which are all the same size and its a round belt, so my question is why does it matter what position the pully wheels are in when the belt is fitting, like when the engine stops does those wheels stop in the exact same place every time.

[@diydaly]

Yes the teeth keep it in the same position , thus they stop in the same place everytime .. just 1 tooth out hmvan effect it but 2 or more and it won’t run
