Citroën Wet Belt Replacement

Citroën's 1.2 PureTech shares the same belt-in-oil design as its Peugeot cousins, and the same failure pattern: the belt breaks down, debris blocks the oil pickup, and the engine starves. We replace Citroën wet belts with genuine PSA kits and check the pickup and turbo feed as part of the job.
