Peugeot 106Timing chain or Belt?

The Peugeot 106 is a subcompact vehicle or city car from segment A by the French manufacturer PSA (currently known as the Stellantis group). It was born in 1991 to replace the Peugeot 104. It was marketed until 2003, when it was replaced by the Peugeot 107. The Peugeot 106 had 2 phases, an initial one until 1996 and a second one until the end of its commercial lifecycle.

Despite being a small urban car, PSA's idea with the 106 was to gradually replace the Peugeot 205, from a higher segment. This was because segments gradually grew in size over the years, so the 106 would become the entry-level vehicle for the lion brand both in terms of specifications and vehicle dimensions.

The Peugeot 106 featured TU gasoline and TUD diesel engines, all manufactured by PSA. It also had an electric version called SA13. Its engines were front-mounted with a transverse layout and front-wheel drive. The 106 body style was exclusively a hatchback. During the early years of phase 1, it was only sold in a 3-door version, with the 5-door variant arriving a few years later.

The 106 featured a multitude of series. Phase 1 had XN, XND, XR, XRD, XR, XTD, XAD, and XS versions, among many other limited editions. It also had a sporty version launched in 1992 called the Peugeot 106 XSI, as well as a rally version called the 106 Rallye phase 1, which inherited the 1.3 engine from the Peugeot 205 Rallye.

Phase 2 of the 106 shared a multitude of similarities with the Citroën Saxo. The 106 gained both aesthetically, as it looked like a much more modern car, as well as in safety and power. It acquired equipment such as ABS, power steering, and airbags.
