The Particulate Filter, the Aggravating Factor in the Puretech Problem

The Particulate Filter, the Aggravating Factor in the Puretech Problem

A Coruña, Spain – The YouTube channel “La Solucion Del Automovil” focuses on the particulate filter as a key factor aggravating the well-known problems of PureTech engines, also known as “PudreTech”.

The video explains that the particulate filter, for its regeneration, needs to reach high temperatures, which implies higher gasoline consumption. This additional gasoline ends up mixing with the engine oil, a known problem with these engines.

The particulate filter, the source of the problem

The video points out that gasoline leaking into the oil damages the timing belt. Belt fragments can clog the oil pump screen, compromising engine lubrication. A “chin” or “cut” odor in the oil is a symptom of this problem.

In addition to the belt damage, the video reminds of the need to change also the water pump belt and the auxiliary belt.

Limited durability and solutions

The video is pessimistic about the belt’s durability, even after replacement, estimating a service life of only 50,000 km. It also discourages quick fixes such as reprogramming or adjustments, recommending a visit to the workshop to solve the root of the problem.

In summary, the “La Solucion Del Automovil” video identifies the particulate filter as a factor that aggravates the PureTech engine’s problems by increasing the amount of gasoline that leaks into the oil and damages the timing belt.

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.
