In this guide, find useful information for timing the engine of the Peugeot 406. During the timing belt replacement, it is necessary to take the references located on the engine cover (usually indicated with coloured or protruding marks on the cover); this way, you can carry out the subsequent timing.

To avoid losing the mark, it is advisable to mark multiple points of the timing, perhaps on several pulleys; if the timing references are lost, it will be necessary to contact the manufacturer to adjust the timing degrees of the engine.
