Peugeot 208 wet belt — a Chartham owner's guide

The 208 PureTech is one of the most popular cars on Canterbury's roads — and one of the most affected by wet belt failure.

If you live in Chartham and your daily run takes you into Canterbury along the A28, you've probably noticed how many Peugeot 208s share the road with you. The 1.2 PureTech is a fantastic engine on paper — light, economical, surprisingly punchy.

But the wet belt is its Achilles heel. We see oil consumption rising sharply between services as the first symptom. Owners get used to topping up — they shouldn't have to.

Our Canterbury workshop replaces 208 PureTech wet belts for £695 fully fitted. Same-day return in most cases. We use OE-grade Dayco kits and PSA-spec oil and filter.

Chartham drivers can drop off in the morning on the way to work and collect on the way home.
