1422.0. "MI16 running unleaded" by JUMBLY::JSMITH () Fri Apr 26 1991 14:13

	
	Has anyone out there had an MI16 converted to unleaded?

	My current car, which is an MI16 is coming to the end of its lease
	and I'm fancying another one. The performance on mine has been terrific
	running on leaded, I would be interested to see how it performs on
	unleaded.

	A great car performance wise...shame about the infamous Peugoet
	Inattention to detail...

    Garry,
    
    You wouldn't happen to have done more than 50,000 miles and not had the
    timing belt changed (which is not scheduled by Peugeot) by any chance?

        Colin,
    
    	Very possible, still 1400 for a timing belt seems quite cheap ;-(
        why wouldn't that be part of a normal service at or around 50k,
    	and why not at least mention it should be done ? Was it mentioned
    	in the handbook ? I must admit I didn't read it.
    
    	Hope I don't suffer the same problems on the new car, ( Guess what
    	I'm going to read tonight ).
    
    	Skint of Munich.

    Garry,
    
    It was mentioned recently in Motor, in a buying secondhand comparison
    between the Golf, 205 and R5T. Also, it happened to one of the guys
    here with a 1.6 GTi. As to why Peugeot don't mention it, I've no idea.
