PureTech Engines Warranty: Resolve all your doubts

If you own a vehicle with a PureTech engine, you may be concerned about the coverage of the PureTech engine warranty and what to do in case of issues.

This article will help you understand what the warranty covers, how to claim it, and what to do if you need additional protection.

What does the PureTech engine warranty cover?

The PureTech engine warranty is designed to protect the owner against manufacturing defects in the engine, including those issues that have affected the timing belt in an oil bath.

This warranty varies depending on the manufacturer (Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, among others), but generally covers:

Mechanical breakdowns caused by factory defects.
Replacement of faulty parts, such as the timing belt, if it is proven that the failure is of origin.
Repairs necessary to prevent further damage to the engine.

It is important to review the terms of your vehicle’s warranty and confirm if your engine is within the coverage period.

How to claim the warranty on a PureTech engine?

To claim the PureTech engine warranty, follow these steps:

Gather all documentation related to the car’s maintenance and purchase, such as invoices and repair history.

Contact the dealership where you bought the vehicle or the brand’s authorised service centre.

Detail the issue including symptoms and when they occur.

If the dealership accepts the claim, the engine repair or replacement should be done at no cost to the owner. If your request is rejected, it is advisable to seek legal advice.

What to do if the warranty does not cover the issue?

If the warranty on your PureTech engine has expired or does not cover the specific failure, consider these options:

Warranty extension: Some brands offer warranty extension plans that cover additional issues.
Class action: If your engine is experiencing recurring failures related to the timing belt, you could join a class action to seek compensation. In Spain, movements of this kind have already been initiated for the PureTech 1.2 litre engines.

Importance of Regular Maintenance

Compliance with inspections and preventive maintenance is key to keeping the warranty valid. Poor maintenance could void the coverage, so it is essential to keep a detailed record of each service.

Tips to maximise the protection of your PureTech engine:

Carry out regular inspections at authorised workshops.
Keep all maintenance documents to use as evidence in case of a claim.
Learn about common issues with PureTech engines, such as premature belt wear.

Why should I claim?

Claiming is crucial to protecting your rights as the owner of a STELLANTIS vehicle with a 1.2 PureTech engine. Recurring problems with the oil bath belt can lead to serious mechanical failures and expensive repairs. By joining the collective action, you seek fair compensation and help pressure the company to take corrective measures.

Additionally, being part of this initiative allows you to join forces with over 5.000 owners who have already joined, strengthening the out-of-court claim and increasing the chances of success. The union of so many affected individuals not only makes the voice stronger, but also increases the pressure on STELLANTIS to solve the problem.

Don’t miss the opportunity to get the necessary repairs without incurring additional expenses. Claiming is not only a right, but also a way to ensure that your vehicle operates correctly and prevent future problems that may affect your safety and finances. Additionally, known issues can lead to a devaluation of the selling price of your vehicle, as the market becomes aware of the problem, affecting its value.

Finally, by participating in this collective action, you help set a precedent that can benefit other owners in the future. Joint action demonstrates that consumers have power when they organise and act together to protect their interests and demand justice.
