The 1.2 Puretech engine

Model: Peugeot Peugeot Various
Part: Engine

In this video we talk about the issues found on the Peugeot 1.2 Puretech engine, an engine that suffers from the destruction of the timing belt, immersed in the engine oil. This can cause very serious damage, and unfortunately it is a fairly common problem. In practice, heat causes small pieces of rubber to detach and deposit around the sump, blocking the oil filter and consequently the oil pump, which no longer pushes lubricant to the components. The timing belt has a lifespan of 100,000 km or 6 years, and must be visually checked at each service using a specific tool. Unfortunately, it is normal for these engines to consume a bit of oil, so it is difficult to realize the problem just from this data. The poor quality of the oil increases the chances of this problem occurring, so it is necessary to use quality oil and rely on serious professionals who perform all necessary checks.
