The importance of respecting the deadline for changing the belt on a PSA vehicle

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Timing belt

In this video we see the effects of a timing belt that has passed its recommended replacement period.

What we suspect (although not explicitly stated) is that the time limit has been greatly exceeded, which is actually six years; the time limit is not considered very much, but it is equally important, and can lead to problems like the one we have seen and can cause very serious trouble.
