Peugeot & Citroën 1.2 PureTech Wet Timing Belt Replacement in Kirkcaldy, Fife – Expert Service at Brenwood Motor Company
At Brenwood Motor Company, we provide professional, manufacturer-standard wet timing belt replacement for Peugeot and Citroën 1.2 PureTech engines in Kirkcaldy, Fife. The 1.2 PureTech engine, found in many popular Peugeot and Citroën models, is renowned for its efficiency and performance – but it also features a wet timing belt system that requires specialist maintenance to avoid costly engine damage.
Our team has the specialist tooling, training, and experience needed to replace the wet timing belt correctly, ensuring your engine remains reliable, efficient, and safe for years to come.
Why Wet Timing Belt Replacement is Essential on Peugeot and Citroën PureTech Engines
The 1.2 PureTech engine, fitted in models such as the Peugeot 208, 2008, 308, 3008 and Citroën C3, C4, DS3, and DS4, uses a wet belt system where the timing belt is lubricated by engine oil. While this design improves efficiency and reduces noise, it also causes the timing belt to degrade over time due to oil contamination.
Peugeot and Citroën recommend replacing the wet timing belt much earlier than many other engines — typically at 6 years or 62,000 miles (100,000 kilometres) for many affected models. In some cases, earlier replacement may be necessary, especially if the belt shows signs of wear, delamination, or oil contamination.
Ignoring this critical maintenance can lead to serious engine damage, including loss of oil pressure, catastrophic engine failure, and very costly repairs.
Specialist Wet Belt Replacement for PureTech Engines
At Brenwood Motor Company, we carry out wet timing belt replacements following the latest manufacturer guidelines. We have invested in the specialist PureTech timing tools, ensuring the engine timing is set accurately during the belt replacement process.
Our service includes:
- Full removal of the old wet belt
- Thorough inspection of associated components
- Replacement of key parts such as tensioners, pulleys, and where recommended, the oil pump belt
- Replacement of engine oil and oil filter to protect the new belt
- Accurate re-timing of the engine to manufacturer specifications
We only use genuine or OE-quality replacement parts to ensure durability, performance, and the protection of your engine.
Symptoms Your 1.2 PureTech Timing Belt May Need Attention
Even before the recommended interval, it’s important to stay alert to signs of a failing wet belt, which include:
- Engine warning lights (especially low oil pressure warnings)
- Tapping or ticking noise from the engine
- Poor engine performance or misfires
- Oil contamination in the timing belt area
- Unusual smells from the engine bay
- A history of extended service intervals without oil changes (which accelerates belt wear)
If you notice any of these issues, we recommend booking an engine inspection with our experienced team as soon as possible.
