Timing belt interval for c4 picasso bluehdi eat6 1.6?

[CitroJim]

Gosh, I'm shocked at some of the intervals recommended for some items I'll be doing mine a lot more often than that... Cambelt/waterpump especially...

So, the cambelt's a bit of a blighter then? That'll be an interesting challenge... I'm sure no harder than an XUD11 2.1TD Prove me wrong

@eddieoliver45: Please pop your VIN up for me (automasked on post submission) and I'll be able to advise on the timing belt service interval for your specific vehicle.

Yes the labour is the killer on this operation, hence why the pulleys and tensioners and water pump replacements are generally undertaken at the same time so you can generally forget about repeating all the labour later to do the pump etc.

Hi @GiveMeABreak, any service interval advices for my C4 Picasso e-HDI 115 ETG6? I'm almost on the due of replacing the timing belt, thanks in advance!

I replaced th belts and rollers/waterpump on my 09 Picasso HDI a few weeks ago, the kit from my local factors was made by SKF and had everything in it, cost £86.00 with my trade discount, straightforward enough, the timing pins are just bolts, easy enough to scrounge around if you have an untidy garage like mine, I loosen the crank pulley using the starter motor and a big breaker bar, most awkard bit was refitting the aux belt simply due to the shape of the body and the new belt being stiff, the car has some history and 129,000 miles but no mention of a belt so in order to sleep at night I bit the bullet, the aux belt was a bit noisy so that was done at the same time, anyone who has done the job on older XUDs will be familiar enough with the job and should not have any problems. the old belt was made by Dayco, not sure if that is OEM or not?

I recently needed to pay £535 for a timing belt change on my 2008 1.6HDi (small garage, not a Citroen specialist). That included coolant replacement.
However I believe my tensioners were not done for that price.

Hi Marc,

I have a 2016 C4 Picasso 1.6BlueHDi (EAT transmission). (VIN VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]) I wonder is the timing belt service similar to the image that you posted? Every 112000 miles?

Yes, but it's best to change early, as they have a habit of breaking early....

Thanks! Will get it done.

Hi, for changing of timing belt, is there any setting or any tuning required? Or anything that need to take note of? I am not going to dealer workshop to do, I plan to send to a normal workshop. Just wanted to be sure this timing belt change is like any other car, standard way of replacing.

Just make sure you are confident in your chosen garage - this is not the sort of thing you want to take chances with if it's done wrong.
