Just bought a Vauxhall Corsa 2020 1.2 Turbo with the same wet belt technology for the wife. Great car, surprising how quick they are for a 1.2
I also had concerns about the wet belt, but that seems to be the way they are going, I see plenty like them as our main work is servicing
We have always used additives for many years during servicing, Engine Flush and Fuel Additives. But we have now stopped using Engine Flush completely as this may have an effect on the wet belt, this may be a factor if one disintegrates and a warranty claim put in
I spoke to a well know additive rep who said that the Engine Flushes coming through are now engine oil based, so probably not as aggressive as the solvent based ones (probably don't clean as well though)
So steer clear of Engine Flushes
