Timing Belt Failure
Most affected vehicles
Peugeot 306 S16, GTI-6, XSi, XT, XS (1993-2002, XU10J4, XU10J4RS, TU5JP, TU3JP)
Failure mileage range
54,000-72,000 miles or 4-6 years

Repair options & estimated costs (UK ranges)
| Repair tier | Dealer price | Specialist price | What it involves | Longevity / suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor - Preventative Belt Replacement | £450 - £750 | £280 - £480 | Full timing belt kit, tensioner, water pump replacement before failure | Restores factory service interval; only viable if engine undamaged |
| Full Replacement - Rebuilt Engine | £2,200 - £4,100 | £1,200 - £2,400 | Supply & fit rebuilt unit with upgraded tensioner, bench-tested, 12-month warranty | Permanent solution; recommended if valves/pistons damaged |
Our recommendation
If your 306 has missed a belt change and now won't start or makes metallic clattering, assume interference damage - replacement is usually more cost-effective than cylinder head repair. For preventative maintenance, budget £280-£480 at a specialist.
