Hi Juan, thanks for the information in this post.
I have a late 2022 c3 aircross and wondered if this has the 7mm chain?

Yes, as said all models will have the 7 mm cam chain unless modifications have been made due to detected issues or the vehicle was built (not registered) from January 2023, where the newer engines would have had the newer components fitted at factory.

Do these belts get replaced with the 8mm version when the timing belt replacement service is due?

[Juan Sheet]

You misunderstand I think. It isn't the timing belt that is the issue, we're talking about the camshaft gear timing chain, shown here at (3):

The actual timing belt (2) is not affected and has nothing to do with the issue of this thread.

hello to everyone. I have a peugeot 508 from 02/2019 and I dont know if my motor is affected. can some one help. it is the same 1.5 blue hdi 130cv motor.

[Juan Sheet]

Most likely, but I need VIN numbers to confirm.

Your VIN is VR3 not F, but that's ok I have it now and as expected 7MM can chain fitted.
