Peugeot 2008 Wet Belt Replacement in Nottingham

Nottingham's roads keep the Peugeot 2008 busy — the queues along the A52, the tram-crossed traffic through the city, the daily shuffle around the ring road and out toward West Bridgford. It's exactly the kind of stop-start, low-speed motoring that wears the 1.2 PureTech's wet belt down well ahead of the mileage, and the 1.5 BlueHDi diesel ages the same way. The belt has a shelf life in years, not just miles travelled, and on the PureTech that interval has been cut to as little as six.

Inside the 2008 the cam belt is bathed in oil, and rather than wearing through it slowly breaks apart, dropping fragments into the lubrication system. Nottingham's congested, tram-interrupted traffic means a lot of idling and crawling — around the Victoria Centre, along Mansfield Road, through the inner ring — and that keeps the oil hot while the car barely moves, which is exactly when the belt degrades quickest, on both the 1.2 PureTech and the 1.5 BlueHDi.

The debris from a failing belt collects at the oil pickup and starves the engine of oil, and a seizure isn't far behind. A belt change on schedule is a routine, fixed-price job — the figure agreed before the car goes in — well inside the PureTech's six-year, 62,000-mile window, while a destroyed 2008 engine is a multi-thousand-pound repair that a timely service would have avoided.
