    Is it only difficult to engage into the 3rd gear only or is it also sometimes difficult to engage to into other gears?, and does it make any noise as you try to engage to the 3rd gear?

I would say clutch, if you trun off car and depress clutch and it goes through the gears ok then its the clutch, first thing is than fluid is full in clutch master cylinder,good luck.

    its hard to say, it could be 3rd gear syncrors are worn, the noise you hear could be in clutch, hard to say without hearing or diagnosing it,have a trany shop look at it id rather a 2nd opinion before you started spending $$ , good luck.

I would have to agree with knight 007 it does sound like syncro with it only being on 3rd gear but you need to get it in to a workshop to be sure

How to change drive belt peugeot 406 2.0

Buy a Haynes Workshop Manual for Peugeot 406 1999-2002 PN 3982. Definitely it will help. It is a relatively easy job. Normal, the drive belt is a life time component if you keep the car properly. Mine is 2004 406 Coupe 2.0 auto. The belt is still in top condition.
