How to avoid problems with Peugeot and Citroen Puretech engines

Model: Citroen Citroen Various
Part: Engine

Video tutorial

This video explains how to avoid the common problems with Citroen and Peugeot Puretech engines: both engines have a timing belt submerged in oil. From the analysis done by the YouTuber, it appears that the oil intake mushroom tends to clog due to rubber residue from the belt.

The reason is the deterioration of the oil inside, where these micro rubber granules coagulate and tend to block the intake mushroom: the risk is engine failure due to lack of lubrication.

The solution is to use an oil cleaning additive. Simply pour it into the oil, let it work for about 15 minutes at idle.

Then drain all the oil. Another very important thing is to use high-quality oil, recommended by the manufacturer, to create less wear on the timing belt, perhaps adding a good additive to the new oil.
