This 2021 Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech was in with us for a wetbelt and water pump replacement after covering just 60,000 miles 🔧
You can already see the belt beginning to crack, which is one of the first signs it’s starting to deteriorate.
The 1.2 PureTech engine is fitted to a wide range of Peugeot, Citroën, Vauxhall, DS and even some Toyota models. As the belt runs in the engine oil, it can break down over time, contaminating the oil with rubber debris. This can block the oil pickup, reduce oil pressure and, if left too long, lead to serious engine damage.
Although official intervals have varied over the years, from our experience we recommend replacing these wetbelts at around 4–5 years or 40,000–50,000 miles, whichever comes first. It’s far cheaper to replace the belt as preventative maintenance than it is to replace an engine.
On this vehicle we carried out:
• New wetbelt
• New water pump
• Full clean of the sump and oil pickup
• New seals and one-time-use fixings where required
Another PureTech protected and ready for many more miles on the road. 👌
