How to Change the Timing Belt on a Peugeot 206

Model: Peugeot 206 MK 1 - Years 1998-2012
Part: Timing belt

First, release the bonnet from the lever and lift it. Access to the belt is easier from the front right wheel, so remove it. Now disconnect the battery cables. Once the wheel is completely removed, you will also need to remove the brake to work from underneath your vehicle. Unscrew the tensioner and the lower pulley cover, allowing you to comfortably extract the new belt in position. Now simply retrace the steps described above to reassemble the various components.
