What happens to a Peugeot 208 with an oil-soaked belt that has worn out

Model: Peugeot 208 A9, MK 1 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Timing belt

In this video we see what happens to a Peugeot 208 with the internal timing belt in the engine, therefore oil-soaked, if we neglect the signals that the car sends us to communicate that there are problems with this component, or if we let pass the parameters given by the Manufacturer (in kilometers, but also in time) for the timing belt change. Here we see that at the bottom of the oil pan there is a significant sludge, which is caused by the decomposing timing belt. The pieces also clog the oil filter. At this point the oil pressure warning light comes on because the filter is clogged and in fact we see that the belt is splitting on the sides, and must be replaced. The car in question has 150,000 kilometers but on these cars it is better to take a look at 120,000 to see the situation.
