Peugeot/Vauxhall Wet cambelt, Puretech engine.

The wet cambelts are more likely to degrade than traditional cambelts or timing chains due to exposure to engine oil, heat, and other environmental factors.

 

Signs that your cambelt may need to be checked include:

  • Misfiring engine 
     
  • Rough idling 
     
  • Difficulty starting the engine 
     
  • Changes in the belt's appearance 
     
  • A squealing noise 
     
  • Low oil pressure

 

These cambelts require replaceing more fequently than other timing belt systems. The oil pump pick up screen gets clogged with belt fibers, reguardless of the mileage or age of the old belt I always remove the sump and clean the pick up screen and cam phaser solenoid. Fresh Peugot grade oil and filter are installed along with a new wet belt.

Signs Your Timing Belt/Chain Needs Replacement

It's crucial to recognize the signs that indicate your timing belt or chain may need replacing. If you notice unusual engine noises, rattling, engine misfires, or visible wear on the belt/chain, it's time to schedule a replacement with Ben.

 

A timing belt, also known as a cambelt, should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles or every 5 to 7 years, whichever comes first. However, it may be safer to replace it even earlier than the manufacturer recommends.

 

A timing chain is usually replaced between 80,000 and 120,000 miles, but it can last the life of the engine if regular maintainace is carried out.
