Timing belt
Does anyone know the recommended timing belt change on a 1.9td 406? Mines has done 21,000 miles since the last change.

I think it's every 72,000 off the top of my head Jim; Haynes will have the numbers!
Depends how you drive the car and if it had an original or pattern belt fitted.

Re: Timing belt
if i remember correctly there are only a few companys who make timing belts and due to costs if they dont make it they buy it in so if i'm right (and i could well be wrong) then as long as its a "named" brand then it is a genuine original belt i got told this about 3 years ago by a goodyear repteamster1975 wrote: Depends how you drive the car and if it had an original or pattern belt fitted.
does it really matter how you drive the car though i didn't think it did but if so i'd like to know about it

Pug will tell you 72k, but any decent mechanic will tell you every 50-60k or every 5years. For all the cost of a belt (around £15) and its a piece of piss to fit, leaving it overdue is stupid as hell to me.
ps. jim, you dont by anychance have a 1.9td or 2.1td engine sitting about busted or not? may be after one.
