I've been off the tools for over 4 years now (I now work for the DVSA 🤫🤫) and was not looking forward in doing the wet belt on my wife's car. But after watching this video it makes it look pretty simple. but i agree it not a good idea soaking a belt in oil, the motor industry is changing at a rapid pace and I don't feel its for the better.
Very well done video I managed to replace timing belt following step by step only a little change for getting out the intake manifold i took off the engine braket and lowered the engine with a jack thank you so much never could have done the job( 8hrs)without your precious explanations keep on going Roberto from Rome Italy
@ 15:30 where this person was struggling with the manifold, I took the engine mount off and moved the engine forwards and lower on a trolley jack, it makes life so much easier.....
Just a quick tip: You can remove the intake manifold easily by loosening the motor mount to let the engine drop slightly. This way, you can avoid disconnecting the battery or draining the coolant.
The top of the bulkhead is fairly easy to remove, which gives you heaps of room to see and work. And, in that case, there is no need to drain the coolant, remove the battery, etc. Same goes for all the smaller cars where this engine is mounted in. C3, 208, even the C1 and 108.
Hi Jorge, I am unsure on the removal of that. I wonder if Paul that mentioned removing the bulkhead would be able to shed more light on its removal for you.
@@jorgebranco1772 Did a google search on "peugeot 208 bulkhead" and found some pieces for sale. Part number: 9676158680. Looks like its the part onto which the bottom edge of the blue magnetic scale is resting. Removing that would indeed provide a lot more space to work in.
I'm about to make a 4000 km trip with my 2016 1,2 puretech citroen c3 with 160 000 kilometers on the meter. Being a bit concerned even though 175000 km/5 years is the intervall. Talking to the citroen mechanic at the destination of my trip I'm told there's a tool which measures the width of the belt and if it hasn't swollen more than the tool can slip easily on it's ok. I'm also told that the turbo engine has more problems with the belt. Also he said that it's not very common that the belt brakes apart which is good since, also on the petrol engine, the valves will hit the piston in that case.
Thank you for that info Karl. That's interesting to know. I'd just drive in a sympathetic way and be generous with my oil changes giving it plenty and of good quality oil.
Did my wife's last week using this guide, did it quite easily over 2 days with plenty of breaks. Would be interested on more info regards getting more access to remove manifold via either dropping the engine or removing the bulkhead as it was a bit of a pig! One thing I found from another internet write-up was there was enough access to change the belt without removing the dephasers so I did it without removing them. Two less bolts to torque as the torque of the crankshaft bolt was terrifying!!
Well done, always better if you can do jobs without undoing bolts. I'm sure I felt the bolts going soft on mine when I did it and stopped torqueing before they sheared. Really most critical bolts need replacing once disturbed.
@@CoatsandGaiters Good point, would probably order a new bolt next time to be safe. Thanks for your very simple and informative guide, as I'd never changed a cambelt on any vehicle before, and probably wouldn't have attempted it without it!
Thank you for saying so. Sadly I don’t have one of these cars to work on yet properly. I keep looking out for a cheap one but they are all out of my budget sadly.
Great video, just what I was after- many thanks. The kit is ordered for my daughters. May I ask (if you know)- how are these engines for longevity? This one we have seems to use a bit of oil. thanks
Thank you. I think modern engines are 'disposable' so if I were you I'd change the oil every 5,000 miles using the Peugeot recommended oil. Do not thrash the engine and keep a very close eye on the dipstick as there is very little oil in it and if it goes down it could easily ruin the engine. Make sure the oil is bang on the max level. I keep trying to but one so I can make a later video on it but they are still expensive cars especially with the engine issues they can suffer.
Thank you Clint. Sadly whenever the battery is disconnected most cars will loose something like the radio code for example. You can get a device to plug into the OBD socket to maintain enough power to the ECU's Here is a link to such an item..... amzn.to/3XgDaGf
I think most are available on ebay on a CD, I'd just search 'Peugeot 1.2 VTi workshop manual' on ebay and see what comes up. Think Haynes have started to give up making manuals.
Thanks for the video. Do know which type of coolant to be used in this vehicle? I see blue or colorless (light brownish/dark yellow) coolant on different vehicles. The handbook says coolant is not to be replaced and doesnt give any specification.
Personally I'd ring Peugeot and ask how much coolant is and then just ask what type of coolant is that,, that way you know which to use. Some might have some mild abrasives in to clean things but that may damage delicate parts or seals, so I'd want to know exactly the type Peugeot recommends. Just say your having a new radiator fitted or something and that why your need to change the coolant.
Hi Jorge , sadly I didn't have the workshop manual, only the timing belt documentation so I would be guessing at what that sensor is. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Peugeot states 112,500 miles or 10 years which ever comes first but if you see the start of Part 2 your see the condition of the belt on this car and its mileage was a lot lower.
@@mickeygoldmill3965 my information came from the service book included with the car and an motor factors database on the petrol model. Hope this helps
@@mickeygoldmill3965 @Coats and Gaiters, just wanna say than the miles changes before to change it. Now it's 100 000 Kilometers (approx : 62,137 miles) or 6 years. PSA did a recall of this motor because of the timing belt.
I’d use whatever Peugeot recommend. I’d ring them and speak to service on what type they advise. I normally use Comma OAT red longlife personally but you might be best checking with Peugeot.
When you are struggling to take the manifold of, unbolt the left motor mount, and then u drop the engine a bit with a jack ofcourse. U will have enough space to take it out
@@CoatsandGaiters The turbo is harder more has to come off. in saying that removing the scuttle panel off should have given more space to remove the manifold.
No they are belts that live in the hot dirty engine oil. Its all about EU emissions so everything must be about maximum mpg and low internal resistance. But I think the customer is the one that may pay the price for all this.
@@CoatsandGaiters would you know much about 207s with 1.6 vti engine, non-turbo? I know they had chain issues, but would post 2010 models had those issues resolved?
@@londo0 Is that the same engine that was used in the mini's as I heard there was an issue with the tensioner failing due to the oil needing to be changed more often than the manual stated. The oil way in the tensioner would clog with sooted oil and then the chain would slap. They called it the 'Death Rattle'. But I think if owners changed oil more often and used a high quality oil this may not happen.
Hi, i tried today to change the belt following your steps. However when i replaced the tensioner pulley and thight to right torque 20nm , with 2 markings lining up. After i manually made a a bit of rotation of the engine with a wrench, that tensioner pulley marking went out of line( its just clicked from position back up). The belt still remained tensioned. Its that normal, or should stay in line both merkings. Thanks in advance
It is fairly common to overtension these when u torque the crankshaft pulley as it pivots a little, but just loosen the tensioner a little put it in the lines and torque again
@@CoatsandGaiters No, as you said before that they use a lot of oil and l was researching why this could happen. I would have replaced it if was less than a tenner, but I'll try and clean it if l don't have to buy one at 40 quid!
@@lennonpolo I think the issue is they burn a bit of oil anyway but having so little oil in the sump it can become a disaster very quickly if the oil drops by even a small amount. Very little oil and a lot of hard work it has to do. Peugeot stacked the odds against the oil a tad. It has to keep the engine lubricated and cool it with so little to start with.
Battery does not need to come out. if u loosen Right engine mount and lower all the way, u can get it past. work on them daily and never taken battery out for the manifold.
I've just found out that I have to replace all that @25:49 just to replace the PVC Valve! At a cost of £256 plus VAT, without labour! You have replace the whole head.

Hi I’m sorry I haven’t watched the whole video because I don’t understand cars but I took my car to a local garage and they said they couldn’t do my timing belt because they didn’t have the right equipment as they need special tools for the job is that true do you need special equipment?they said I would need to get it done at a Peugeot dealer I called Peugeot and they quoted me £950.
Thank you for the comment. The tools are in the links in the video description and are £50?ish I’d have thought if I can do it most people should be able to. Maybe it’s the diagnostic equipment they are talking about. Perhaps your car has other issues that may require a Peugeot diagnosis and they don’t have that equipment. I dont either.
@@CoatsandGaiters thankyou for replying my car has no issues it’s done 62,000 so I thought I’d get the timing belt replaced for peace of mind I took it too the garage and they said it would cost a fortune for the equipment needed for the job so they wouldn’t do it.I think maybe they hadn’t done one before and just didn’t want to do it.
I can comfirm removing the wipers and scuttle panel makes no difference, neither does dropping the engine, however if you remove the water pipe on the right hand side it comes straight out
Don't forget rule No 1 safety first. Where's the axle stand. you can't have people watching this thinking its ok to lie under vehicles without a stand.
Very true and ironically in all my later videos I go to great lengths to show jacking point's and locations for axle stands. This was the first car video I made at the time and was still very much learning how to included stuff into my videos. Another ironic thing is I received this comment the other day about one of my video's ...... "Absolutely beautiful job of showing this! One of the subtle things that really helped make this video stand out is showing the lift points clearly and showing the jack stand position in the background in the next scene.. yeah I can figure that stuff out, but seeing that savese a lot of time and paranoia!"
Hi matey, I just found this video on the 108 th-cam.com/video/jfqXu1qzuj4/w-d-xo.html have a look at the minute mark, he takes the engine mount out to pull the engine forward to take the manifold off! Do you think this would be a better option?

@@CoatsandGaiters i have seen writen 80.000 km and 180.000 km. 180.000 km is near 112.000 miles
The bolt in 24:00 for what is that bolt? I have broke the contact on it. Can you help me please, i don't know, what now is the problem, that's not the first time of the change from the timing belt for me on a 1.2 vti, it's the second time now, i had this problem not at the first time.
My Dephaser is damaged and now i must to change the timing belt after 25000km again.
Are you referring to the metal object in the blue tray? as that's a long reach socket.
@@CoatsandGaiters yes i mean the long reach socket. Thank you for your answer.
@@CoatsandGaiters i have lost my Citroen Service Box and now, i, can't find the part number.
@@reine_gulle1047 which part number were you after and for what part?
@@CoatsandGaiters The earth bolt, the grounding to the cable is broken.
Hi I’m sorry I haven’t watched the whole video because I don’t understand cars but I took my car to a local garage and they said they couldn’t do my timing belt because they didn’t have the right equipment as they need special tools for the job is that true do you need special equipment?they said I would need to get it done at a Peugeot dealer I called Peugeot and they quoted me £950.
Thank you for the comment. The tools are in the links in the video description and are £50?ish I’d have thought if I can do it most people should be able to. Maybe it’s the diagnostic equipment they are talking about. Perhaps your car has other issues that may require a Peugeot diagnosis and they don’t have that equipment. I dont either.
@@CoatsandGaiters thankyou for replying my car has no issues it’s done 62,000 so I thought I’d get the timing belt replaced for peace of mind I took it too the garage and they said it would cost a fortune for the equipment needed for the job so they wouldn’t do it.I think maybe they hadn’t done one before and just didn’t want to do it.
@@mickeygoldmill3965 you could ask them to watch my video and see if it sways them into doing it.
Nice accent! Where part of UK are you from?
Thank you. Originally from Hampshire and Dorset areas.
Surely it would of been easier to remove the wipers and scuttle panel for easier manifold removal
I think you could be quite right as I have heard this mentioned before.
@@CoatsandGaiters either way awesome video well done 👍
@@KayneAlanBooth Thank you. Hopefully I've improved a bit since making that one.
I can comfirm removing the wipers and scuttle panel makes no difference, neither does dropping the engine, however if you remove the water pipe on the right hand side it comes straight out
@@KayneAlanBooth Brilliant information. Thank you for sharing that.
Hello from Russia. Thank you for the video. Cognitively. Be careful with the Jack. Use the stand under the car.
keparikvideo Hi from the UK and thank you
You dont have to drain coolant if you take motor lower about 15cm you can take out manifold.
Thank you for that info.
208
Yasine Soumuer yes it was a small 2 door 208 with 1.2, 3 pot engine
77K Is not bad 🤷considering the car was 6 Years old I mean would have probably reach 80,000 miles with a bit of Luck
Don't forget rule No 1 safety first. Where's the axle stand. you can't have people watching this thinking its ok to lie under vehicles without a stand.
Very true and ironically in all my later videos I go to great lengths to show jacking point's and locations for axle stands. This was the first car video I made at the time and was still very much learning how to included stuff into my videos. Another ironic thing is I received this comment the other day about one of my video's ...... "Absolutely beautiful job of showing this! One of the subtle things that really helped make this video stand out is showing the lift points clearly and showing the jack stand position in the background in the next scene.. yeah I can figure that stuff out, but seeing that savese a lot of time and paranoia!"
C'est pas juste ne pas déposer la batterie et le duret boitier sortie , d'abord il faut qu'on dépose le support moteur . C'est tout. Voilà
Thank you for the comment Nicolas.

Hi matey, I just found this video on the 108 th-cam.com/video/jfqXu1qzuj4/w-d-xo.html have a look at the minute mark, he takes the engine mount out to pull the engine forward to take the manifold off! Do you think this would be a better option?
Probably not a bad idea to give more clearance. I think with these new cars you do what you have to to just mend them the best you can.
Auto super malo y los repuestos muy caro
I think the engines performed well when all was ok, just a shame about the belts failing.
Vous faites beaucoup trop travaux en plus la batterie les durites sa n'a rien a voir pur enlever la pipe d addition retirer tout simplement le support moteur et descendre ou monter le moteur à l'aide d un cric une bonne demie.heure de gagner
Thank you for the heads up.
dont buy a citroen ever 2 yres warenti and the break
I think most cars after 2008 are problematic compared to to previous years. I always stick with pre 2008 cars. I had one 2010 Mini and that turned out to be a disaster.
