The Importance of Adhering to Timing Belt Replacement Intervals on a PSA Vehicle

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Timing belt

Video tutorial

In this video, we see the effects of a timing belt that has exceeded its recommended replacement period. This Citroen vehicle has 157,000 miles, while the manufacturer recommends changing the belt at 150,000 miles.

It may seem that the interval has only just been exceeded, but the results can be disastrous, as shown by the YouTuber: half of the belt was missing its teeth. What we suspect (although not explicitly stated) is that the time limit has been significantly exceeded, which is six years; the time limit is often overlooked, but it is equally important and can lead to serious problems like the one we have seen.
