⚠️ Reminder for PureTech owners
A timing belt can already be failing even if:
✔️ The engine runs fine
✔️ No warning lights are on
✔️ No noises are present
I’ve shown a real example of this in my latest video — missing belt teeth with NO symptoms.
👉 Watch it here:
PureTech Timing Belt – Missing Teeth But Engine Still Running
https://youtu.be/ZdpoDaKYF90
📄 PureTech help, PDFs & resources:
👉 linktr.ee/How2fixit
Don’t rely on mileage or warning lights — inspect the belt.
