It's my understanding that the belt design/composition has been changed, so that this "shouldn't" happen anymore - another thing that having a good dealer service history may help you with when it comes to service action/recall.The thing is that we're all told not to get oil on rubber belts, so what made the engineers run the timing belt through the oil in the 1.2 ? Was it only noise considerations ? What's the long term fix ? Change the belt every 20K km's ?
A new oil is now also used for hot places like Australia - Total HTC 5W30.
