405 cam belt

Bob 29 April 2005 14:25:49
 I'm trying to decide which is best, to trade my old 95 405 GLXD in for a 406
or somesuch, or to keep it (lovely car) and change the cam belt (63000
miles, original belt). How much is changing the belt likely to cost and
does anyone know of a place in Bristol that will do a good job at a good
price?

Changing a cambelt is one of those things that need doing like
changing the oil and filters. I'd put it a little above that very
basic service item level of difficulty because it's one of those
things that are easy once you know how but takes an hour or five the
first time.

See another thread for costs.

If you are really happy with your present car I'd stick with it, you
never know what you might get with the replacement.

Bob

Can't help on the costs etc. but, having had two 405's and a 406, the
difference is not that great, other than the 406 boot being smaller and the
fuel tank bigger. Obviously there are extras that weren't around/available
in 405 time but as far as driving and riding is concerned I'd say stick with
the one you've got.

 Recently had the belt changed on my 406, cost Ј200 but they found that the
water pump needed replacing which pushed the cost up to Ј240, however I
think that if I had shopped around I would have got it done cheaper. If
your present carhas only done 67,000 stick with it

When I had my 405 the belt cost about Ј35 with labour another Ј25 that was a
few years ago
Last year to 18 months ago my 406 V6 belt was Ј56 with lablour about
anotherЈ40 -50 In the end it shouldn't break the bank

 Hi Bob
put a belt and tensioned on it, also change the water pump while your in
there , and it should give you another 60k,
but if your in the market for an upgrade, sell me your 405, we need another
in our family
email me if your interested,
Fitzy

 Belt's around ВЈ20. You could ask Peugeot as a guide because it is a book
item -- was quoted about ВЈ120 by Peugeot Liskeard last summer, so I
reckon Bristol would be a bit more. In London it would have been well
over ВЈ200. In the end it was done by a non-Peugeot garage for ВЈ60 all
up. But it needs someone who knows about the tensioner, and as mentioned
... consider getting other things done at the same time. Certainly with
your mileage I'd keep the car -- but that belt if original is old and
needs changing even if it hasn't done the full 72K.

Rubbish.

The 406 V6 cambelt takes quite a few hours. At Ј40 an hour for labour,
you're looking at well over Ј200, plus parts !

Yep. Been quoted about 4.5 - 5 hours labour at 35 squid, so about Ј175. Plus
about Ј250 for parts including water pump I believe. Basically, up to around
Ј450 max for timing belt job on 1998 406 3.0 V6... Great car to drive by the
way.

 Thanks for all the replies to my post. A lot of food for thought there.

I had almost decided to keep the car when we went for a run a few days ago
and I noticed that sometimes, not always, it was difficult to turn the wheel
to the right at very slow speeds, no problem turning left tho.

This might well lead to more expense so back to square one for the moment!

Thanks again

Bob

Get out your wallet, and get it fixed. If it's only done 63,000 miles, you
aren't gonna find another as good :)­

personally prefer the 406
405's are old and tired now
the symptom you have suggests steering ram or valve
would need pressures checking at each to decide which

Dunno .. I've got a 405 TD estate with 95k on it, but all I read here
about 406s is niggling problems with electrics, etc which are even more
expensive to fix than a 405 ... plus the car would cost a lot ... so I
think my own decision will be to carry on for a bit

Cheers

I'd stick with it too. A cambelt done by a specialist will probably set
you back ВЈ120 or so, at least that's what it was on my Xantia 1.9TD
and about the same on the wife's 106 (just to stay vaguely on topic).
Sure 405s aren't worth a great deal but if it runs reliably and
economically it's got to be worth spending a bit.
