Covers wet belt failure in Ford EcoBoost and Peugeot/Citroën/Vauxhall PureTech engines - what it is, why it fails, warning signs (low oil pressure light, ticking at idle, rubber grit in the oil filter), and realistic UK repair costs from £580 for a proactive belt-only job up to £3,000–£6,000+ for a full engine rebuild after failure.
