How long does it normally take for the timing belt on peugeot 307 to snap r break?

my peugeot 307's timing belt has gone and it only has 37000 miles on the clock is this normal?How long does it normally take for the timing belt on peugeot 307 to snap r break?Belts can go as long as 100,000 miles. 60,000 is the mileage to start thinking/looking about getting it changed.

37,000 miles is an awfully short life for a belt.

However, if the car has been mistreated it might break at that mileage.How long does it normally take for the timing belt on peugeot 307 to snap r break?No. for cars sold in CA, timing belt should hold for at least 100K miles.



Your car should still be under warranty, right?? Take it back to the dealer and have them replace the timing belt for free.How long does it normally take for the timing belt on peugeot 307 to snap r break?No, not normal at all. They usually fail at 2,000 miles or less.How long does it normally take for the timing belt on peugeot 307 to snap r break?Timing belt replacement timing is usually based on the earlier of two things - mileage and age.



For a 306, Haynes manual specifies a replacement period of 80,000 miles although it recommends it to be changed at 40,000 miles, particularly for vehicles which have intensive use, ie mainly short journeys or a lot of start-stop driving.



There is also an age factor in the timing belt life - I think about 4 years is normally the time to change it, even if you have only done 5,000 miles!
