When you’re done with turning the engine over at the end, do you just make sure the lines all match up before finishing the job? That’s where I got a bit confused :)
Hi there, i think the C4 might have used the 16v version of this engine. Not sure if it got the 8v. Wont differ massivley but you might have another cam sprocket to lock when removing the belt
Just bought the 1.2 petrol version of this car that needs the timing belt done, think I'll be paying someone to do the job instead of attempting this! Doesn't look an easy job
This 1.4 TU engine is what i would consider to be one of the easiest timing belts to do. However when you say 1.2 i am guessing you have a newer C4 with the Puretech 3 cylinder engine. That has a wet belt whereby the belt runs within the oil. I had actually considered doing a video on a C4 with that engine but due to time constraints and special tools being required i declined the opportunity to do the job. I have the workshop guides but would not say its an easy belt to do, especially if you haven't changed one before.
@@peugeotCitroen2CV I think it is the wet belt system. It is a C3 mK II this seems quite a rare engine in a C3 as there isn't many kits around available to buy.
@@andynightingale7335 This 2012 was the last of the C3 to get the old venerable TU engine, it soldered on sine the 80s. The puretech seems to be in any dated 2013 to 2016 in this body style. There are 220 on autotrader at the moment. The 1.2 non turbo is not too bad to change the belt on, more involved than the TU but less than the turbo version. The C4 i was going to do i had read the guides on the C3 and also viewed a few videos on youtube, i think it was a 208 getting the belt changed. The belt kit is under £100 and the tool kit is about £40 on ebay. Motor factors are about £120 over here for the belt kit. Although you will need a few seals for the rocker cover, intake manifold and access panel that may increase the cost a tad. Definitely get it done sooner rather than later though. If the belt degrades bits can get into the oil pump strainer and starve the engine of oil. These engines have a specific oil they need and need it changed at the correct interval. Im not entirely convinced that a wet belt is a good idea but PSA are not the only ones making them. Ford and Honda are also at it.
@@peugeotCitroen2CV many thanks for the information. It's a 13 plate 1.2 so going to assume it's the pure tech. Quick question, would you recommend having the water pump done at the same time? Regards.
@@andynightingale7335 The water pump on the pure tech engine is not driven by the cambelt, it has its own belt not as critical an item as it failing would not cause the timing belt to strip teeth as would be the case in other engines. However still worth inspecting its condition, see if it’s weeping out any coolant. Also worth considering is the age of the coolant now, might be worth having it flushed nonetheless.
No, a new one is not included in the timing belt kit, not something i ever remember changing on any car when doing a belt change. Unless the kit has included it.

Just bought a 2008 Peugeot 207 with this engine. This video will be very helpful. Thank you...
You are welcome!
nice work, well camera position, organised footage.
congrats
Thanks for the comment
Great video, very informative. Impressive to do all that in under an hour. Think it would take me 2 days 😂

Hi there,
Yes i turn it over a few times by hand and bring it back to TDC just to confirm everything still lines up.
Heel erg bedankt, heel duidelijk
Thanks for the comment
Thank you for the video. Although this isn't 'easy to work on' by any means. I've never had to unmount and lift and engine for a belt change before.
Excellent video.. thank you
Merci pour cette vidéo, c'est super
thank you so much for this video
Thanks for the comment
is this the same in the citroen c2 1.4 petrol 2008 ? tia
Hi there, i think the C4 might have used the 16v version of this engine. Not sure if it got the 8v. Wont differ massivley but you might have another cam sprocket to lock when removing the belt
Would this be same for a 2002 citroen c3 1.4 litre petrol?
It should be quite similar, the 8v TU did not change a great deal between them years.
@@peugeotCitroen2CV thanks for fast reply yeah the engines look identical
@@BudKing96 Dare i say it if you did the same job on a 1990 205 1.4 the actual belt change would be the same despite there being a carburettor.

you didnt change the tensioner pulley stud ?

Мне одному интересно почему сперва нельзя слить жидкости полностью, масло/антифриз, а потом уже снимать фильтр и помпу?
