Peugeot 208 wet belt — a Chartham owner's guide

The 208 PureTech is one of the most popular cars on Canterbury's roads — and one of the most affected by wet belt failure.

✓ Fully mobile — we come to you✓ One job at a time — never rushed✓ OE-grade timing kits✓ Fleet & trade rates

If you live in Chartham and your daily run takes you into Canterbury along the A28, you've probably noticed how many Peugeot 208s share the road with you. The 1.2 PureTech is a fantastic engine on paper — light, economical, surprisingly punchy.

But the wet belt is its Achilles heel. We see oil consumption rising sharply between services as the first symptom. Owners get used to topping up — they shouldn't have to.

Our mobile Canterbury service replaces 208 PureTech wet belts from £950 plus VAT, fully fitted with a sump clean included, or £1,150 with a new water pump. Same-day return in most cases. We use OE-grade Dayco kits and PSA-spec oil and filter.

Chartham drivers get us on their driveway first thing — car back on the road by the evening school run.
