Peugeot Wet Belt Replacement

The Peugeot 1.2 PureTech is one of the most talked-about wet belt engines in the UK, and for good reason: the belt degrades in the oil, the debris blocks the oil pickup, and the turbo and bearings starve. Replacing the belt at the right time is far cheaper than replacing the engine. We fit genuine PSA kits and always inspect the pickup while we're in there.

Why this matters

Peugeot has shortened the PureTech belt interval since these cars launched. If your 208 or 2008 is still on the original service-book figure, it is very likely overdue.

FAQs

Peugeot Wet Belt — common questions

Which Peugeots have a wet belt?
Any Peugeot with the 1.2 PureTech petrol engine — including the 208, 2008, 308, 3008, 5008, Rifter and Partner — uses a belt that runs in engine oil.
How often should a Peugeot wet belt be changed?
The interval has been revised down to roughly 6 years or 60,000–100,000 miles depending on the exact variant. We check your engine code and advise on the current figure.
