Why This Service Matters

The PSA 1.5 BlueHDi engine, found in Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Vauxhall, and Toyota vehicles from 2017 onwards, has a known timing chain design flaw. The original 7mm chain can stretch or fail, causing catastrophic engine damage. We specialise in replacing these chains with the improved 8mm kit before failure occurs.

What happens if you ignore this?

A failing timing chain can snap without warning, causing pistons to collide with valves. This destroys the engine and typically costs more to repair than the vehicle is worth. Early replacement prevents total engine failure.
