Hi & welcome aboard,
v6 saloons and estates are vanishingly rare on this forum.
You may find more info on the dark side:

(But stick around you'll find much good info hereabouts too).

In my experience the area of trouble is the water pump. When I had my belt changed a few months ago the water pump in the Gates kit, despite what the distributor (of the kit) said, needed some machining in order to fit. The 406 Coupe site has a lot of information on the variants of water pump. At least my car won't need another belt and water pump for 8 years (which I believe is now the recommended interval).
How did you get on with your belt change, PAP406 ?
