Peugeot 307 SW 2007 on - - CAM - BELT OR CHAIN - Robin the Technician

Hi,

Just a general question - as an owner of a 406 estate, I'm looking around to replace it and the Kia Ce'ed is on the list along with a Peugeot 307 SW (circa 2007 on-). I'm drawn to the 1.6HDi diesel as, having a Peugeot diesel already, I'm impressed with its economy and reliability. The question is, is the 1.6 HDi a similar engine to the 2.0 HDi? Is it a cam belt or redesigned to chain. It's something I like about the Kia is its camchain. If the Peugeot has one then its a definite contender.

Your views would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Robin the Technician

The 1.6hdi,is a completely different engine to the 2.0hdi I have this in a 407sw I am running at the moment in Germany over 100k kilometers it has returned 5.4litres per 100km the engine so far has been without problems,cam belt changes at 150k miles I believe the engine is used by a number of car manufacturers including Ford far better than anything that Kia/Hyundai produce.
