When should the timing belt be changed on the Peugeot 208?

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

We know that the timing belt is a component of absolute importance for the engine and the consequences of not maintaining or replacing it can be very serious. It is stated in the car's manual that the timing belt should be replaced after a certain number of kilometers, but there is also the possibility of performing periodic checks with a special gauge, available on the market. By unscrewing the motor oil filler cap, you can measure the width of the timing belt, which, if too worn, tends to stretch out, so you can notice in advance if it needs to be replaced.
