On this occasion, Gait\u00e1n examines a Peugeot 3008 GT Line that has passed through his workshop on several occasions due to this fault.<\/p>\n\n<p>The video reveals a recurring and devastating problem: the <strong>timing belt<\/strong>, designed to run submerged in oil, degrades prematurely due to gasoline mixing with engine oil. This gasoline leaks into the oil due to a peculiar design of the piston rings, designed to reduce consumption, but with this catastrophic side effect.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>A problem that goes beyond the belt<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Gaitan explains that the main problem is not the belt breakage itself, but that fragments of the deteriorated belt <strong>clog the &#8220;chupona&#8221; (the oil filter).<\/strong> This blockage prevents the oil from properly lubricating the upper parts of the engine, which can lead to a <strong>serious failure and seizure of the engine<\/strong>. Most alarming is that the car&#8217;s system does not always detect this low oil pressure, so no warning light comes on.<\/p>\n\n<p>In the video, Gaitan performs a live demonstration, removing the oil pan to show the &#8220;sucker&#8221; clogged with belt fragments, even after it had been cleaned in a previous overhaul. He also points out that the crankcase design prevents all used oil from draining completely during an oil change, which exacerbates the problem.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The solution? For Gaitan, there is only one: sue Stellantis.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Given the seriousness and recurrence of the problem, Angel Gaitan is forceful: he <strong>advises the owners of these vehicles to sue Stellantis (formerly PSA group) and demand the replacement of the engine until they are provided with a reliable one.<\/strong> Furthermore, it <strong>strongly discourages the purchase of these cars, even second-hand<\/strong>, due to the costly and persistent problems they present.<\/p>\n\n<p>This video is a warning to owners of PureTech-powered vehicles and a strong indictment of Stellantis for a design flaw that is causing serious harm to thousands of drivers.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<p>For more information, you can watch the full video on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AGcAQpqsI_4\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">angel_gaitan_official YouTube<\/a> channel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renowned mechanic \u00c1ngel Gait\u00e1n has published a devastating video about the &#8220;PureTech&#8221; engine of the Stellantis group (formerly PSA), which he refers to as &#8220;Pudretech&#8221; due to its multiple problems.
