084920 9642511280 DV6 8V Timing Belt Anti-Vibration Guide Pad

The commercial description “1.6 HDi” covers several DV6 generations and timing-system configurations. The same vehicle model can appear with DV6 8V and DV6 16V engine variants, different engine codes and different production criteria. Vehicle model, displacement and power output are therefore not sufficient by themselves. Match the OE number and production information before comparing the physical appearance of the guide.

Do not reuse the guide pad if the belt-contact surface has deep grooves, one-sided cutting marks, cracking, heat deformation or missing material, or if the mounting point is damaged or loose. Uneven polishing across the contact surface should also be treated as evidence that the belt has not been tracking correctly. A visually clean surface does not confirm that the complete timing drive is serviceable, because wear in other timing components may not be immediately visible.

One-sided wear is a belt-tracking warning rather than proof that the guide pad alone caused the problem. Before fitting a new guide, inspect the timing belt path for pulley misalignment, axial displacement, skewed mounting, incorrect tension and abnormal movement in the tensioner or idler components. Installing a new guide without correcting the tracking fault can produce the same wear pattern again.

It can be supplied as an individual component, but the repair decision should be based on inspection of the complete timing drive. Check the timing belt, tensioner, idler or guide components, fasteners and surrounding area for wear, incorrect alignment and fluid contamination. Replacing only the visibly damaged guide may leave the original cause of the damage in the engine.

Confirm the part identification and mounting orientation first. The engine should be cold, the crankshaft and camshaft positions must remain correctly synchronized, and the belt path must be checked for misalignment, axial displacement and skewed components. Remove any oil, fuel or coolant contamination and correct the source of the leak before installing the new timing components.

No universal torque value should be taken from another DV6 repair or from a visually similar guide. Use the current repair information for the exact vehicle, engine code and fastener configuration. The correct tightening procedure may depend on the fastener specification and engine version. POWCODE should not publish an unverified torque value for this part.

Provide the full VIN, complete engine code, PSA ORGA/RP number, OE number from the original part or vehicle catalogue, and clear photographs of both sides of the old guide and its installed position. Do not resolve a conflict by vehicle model or product appearance alone. The order should remain unconfirmed until the OE reference and production configuration agree.
