On the 2013-2022 Peugeot 2008 1.2L PureTech, the 2008's PSA/Stellantis PureTech 1.2 (EB2) engine uses an oil-immersed ("wet") timing belt rather than a chain. The belt's outer rubber layer can delaminate over time, shedding particles into the oil that clog the pickup strainer and starve the engine of oil. Stellantis revised the belt material and shortened service intervals (now 60,000 mi or 6 years), but earlier-spec belts remain at risk.

This issue also affects: Audi A4, Audi A5, Audi A6

Common Symptoms

Chain rattle on cold start
Engine warning light
Misfires
Loss of power

How to Fix

Replace the timing chain kit with updated components. PSA extended warranty covers this repair to 10 years/200,000km on affected VINs. Check eligibility with a dealer.

Typical repair cost:$800 - $2,000
