Problems arising from an oil-soaked belt

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Timing belt

In this video we see the problems caused by the oil bath belt on a PSA Puretech 1.2 engine. The youtuber lifted the car and shows us, once the half cup is removed, the residues of the partially destroyed belt in the oil pump pickup, which even broke through the pump's mesh. From the top of the engine we then see the belt in poor condition, completely cracked and even "shaved", even on the inside. Just one wrong additive can cause even the best quality oil belts to deteriorate in these conditions. It is therefore essential to check them periodically, even if the prescribed kilometers have not been covered or the times set by the manufacturer have not been reached.
