So this belt lasted only 9 months.

Anything else I should check while I'm replacing it tomorrow? Luckily got the bastard home on the battery power (18 miles!) but it's proper dead now.
As an aside it reminded me how bloody heavy 306 steering is without the PAS!

306 steering is heavy enough with the PAS tbh lol.
Was it a cheap belt? Are any of the pulleys/tensioners floppy/wonky at all?

Check your tensioners. Had a dodgy one on my 106 that caused the aux belt to screech/snap.

Dayco belt, supplied by Peugeot!
Will check all the pulleys over. Seem to remember something about a 307 pulley being an upgrade? What part is that?

Ah ok, should be decent quality then!
That's the crank pulley from the 307 as it has less rubber in it. You'd notice if that was knackered though as they cause a low knocking noise/feel.

get your eye in, as in check all is inline. only .5mm out will do that. or a pulley that has a bearing gone and is at an angle. or a pulley which is still or rattly.

Yeah, in a dt. Whereas an HDi ECU sees no battery charge and refuses to start regardless. Bastards.

Put the new belt on and it kept jumping off the first groove...thought WTF?
There was a build up of debris in the first couple of grooves on the PAS pump, from a disintegrated previous belt. Scraped it out and now seems fine.
No slack on any of the tensioners so figure all is well.

Right, checked the belt today just because I don't trust it any more and found the following :
![[Image: BEF4EFD0-DF98-43FA-AD1D-AE1D108DFA55.jpg]](http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/chris_rx71/Mobile%20Uploads/BEF4EFD0-DF98-43FA-AD1D-AE1D108DFA55.jpg)
It has slipped across one rib on the pulley. This is causing it to wear on the outer edge prematurely.
We previously cleaned out the 'grooves' in the pulley but can't explain why this has happened again? Anybody had a similar issue before?

When mine came off, it was a worn tensioner throwing it off (the spring loaded one). I crap myself when these come off, I lost an engine on another car to it going into the timing belt.

I read I think on cullys engine build thread or elsewhere that they had to shim out the pulley to line up with crank..not sure what to do if it's the other way

Spin the tensioner/ idlers they should pretty much stop when you let go, if they spin like a roller skate wheel they're farked!
Doesnt even own a 306.

Air con pump spacer was just out when mine did that, but I had changed the sump. One of your pulleys is out of line, or a tensioner is cocked.

Yup same happened on my estate, sprung tensioner was worn/wonky so pushing the belt off.

Have not done anything lately which would involve removing any of the pulleys, so does that point towards it being the tensioner?
Sprung one didn't have a great deal of 'spring' to it and from above it looked slightly out of bonk, but was told by my father in law that this was fine as it straightened up under tension - just didn't seem right to me!
Can someone link me to the correct one, and advise how to change it? Sorry, on my mobile this evening hence the helplessness!
