PureTech to the limit! Is this the final farewell to Peugeot’s troubled engine?

A Coruña, Spain – The YouTube channel “AUTOSLD” delves into the controversy of the 1.2 PureTech engine from Stellantis (Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Opel), analyzing whether the new generation of this engine means the end of the problems that have plagued thousands of owners.

The video begins by recalling the PureTech’s history of failures, especially those related to the oil-immersed timing belt, which degrades prematurely and generates debris that clogs the lubrication circuit, potentially leading to engine destruction.

A new beginning or a half-hearted solution?

AUTOSLD analyzes the differences between the previous versions of the PureTech and the new generation. While Stellantis has implemented a timing chain in place of the problematic belt on some models, the video points out that not all PureTechs have received this upgrade.

What has really changed?

The video delves into the technical changes made to the new generation PureTech. Improvements in electronic management, injection system and lubrication are mentioned, but it is questioned whether these modifications are sufficient to ensure long-term reliability.

Expert opinion

AUTOSLD offers the opinion of a mechanical expert, who analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the new generation PureTech. The video concludes that while Stellantis has taken steps to address the problems, the shadow of doubt still hangs over this engine.

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.
