  • Hi there! I wanted to try something a little different today, if it goes well ill do more on other types of engines and gearboxes etc... Lets discuss today the 1.2 puretech engine briefly and a well known common problem.

    Got a second hand corsa with this engine. Car came with around 24k km’s when we bought it. Did around 2.5k more on it and its still doing pretty fine. Its not the smoothest per say but gets good mileage and works great with 8at transmission (although sometimes kicks in a little bit harsh while shifting between 2nd and 3rd).130 bhp for a small car such as this is pretty decent imo. Reliability on the other hand….

    For 1.2 puretech engines; just use right engine oil coded "B71 2302 or B71 2297" These engine oils are formulated to avoid damaging the timing belt. Other than these engine oils that you think are of high quality will damage the belt. just use B71 2302 or B71 2297 PSA approved engine oils..

    I think you will end up with oil burning issues even if you do everything correctly. Probably with really tight oil change interval (like 5k km) you can avoid it but it's unknown as nobody does that. These engines are so cheap it doesn't make sense to open them up and change piston rings, at least if you are paying someone to do it. Regardless of all the issues this engine has, I enjoy working on it as everything is pretty easy to get to and work on.

  • @tenfootvoyager
    @tenfootvoyager Před 5 měsíci +2

    The Puretech 1.2 110/130 turbo engine came out of factory with the wrong spark plugs (Bosch ZR6SPP3320) which were too hot causing miss firing,
    plug failure, pre ignition problems and in some cases cylinder bore damage. PSA tried to sweep it under the carpet changing the plugs free as vehicles came in for service. Correct plugs are Bosch ZR5SPP3320(cooler).
    As has been said correct oil must be used and changed annually, especially if low mileage and short trips to protect the cambelt. Oh and no oil additives or flush because they attack the belt.

    Absolute nightmare
    Just had one with blocked pump grill. Cleaned and fortunately pump seems ok.
    However apart from the strip down nightmare to get to the belt, some models require you to remove the phaser cam pullies. The turbo models I think. These are sophisticated bits of kit and even one tooth out on fitting back and all kinds of error messages. I’m still trying to cure P0014 and P003c errors on bank 1.
    Checked VVT solenoids and still no go. Starts and sounds superb. But after just one minutes drive it goes into limp mode.
    If I had a car with this engine I would pass it on as soon as possible. Cam belt in oil?!!!!

      Hi there, Im not sure whether that would make too much diffrence to the life dpan of the belt, but it cant hurt doing so aslong as its long enough to reach optimum engine temprature, a 15 min ish journey should be ok, it would probably help prevent the valve seals going hard and sticking though to be fair 👍 thanks for watching

    • @carlostmp
      @carlostmp Před rokem +4

      AFAIK the main problem happens when you use it for short rides without allowing the oil to get the optimum temp. When you start the engine and it's cold, the fuel enters the oil pan and mixes with the oil. If you don't get the engine hot, when you stop the engine and leave it for hours, the oil has not been able to evaporate the mixed fuel that it contains, so this small amount of fuel will degrade the belt. If you do it time after time, you will rapidly ruin the belt. People that use the right oil and change it no later than 15k kms, and their daily rides are, for example, for 15kms or more, they'll be delaying the main engine problem. These are the owners that will tell you "Hey, I've done 120k kms and the engine is fine!". The oil compsumption will likely happen, but much later. Also on ~2017 there was a silent ECU software update that improved the combustion in the engine, and many people that don't take their cars to the manufacturer for mantainment would have missed this update until the 2021 recall, so they probably forced the engine to get dirtier faster than other owners.

    Got a disabled friend with a Citroen C3 Aircross bought brand new late 2018, main dealer serviced by the book and currently on around 30k.
    He gets me to check his levels every 3 weeks or so and it usually needs a top up of oil and there is no leak.
    My 2003 Jaguar XJ6 on the other hand on 120k miles doesn't use a drop between yearly oil changes, which is usually around 3-4k miles.
    I warned him when he was looking around to buy it, steer well clear of small overstressed turbocharged engines, producing ridiculously high bhp per litre.

Sold it 3.5 years later with c130k miles. By then, it was burning a lot of oil, I was probably topping it up every 1,500 miles. The 3 cylinder engine just wasn’t up to it. Maybe if you do 5-10,000 miles/year in a small car it would be ok.

      It usually is a B71 5110 coolant but check what it says in the manual. It should say Bradol or Arteco Freecor DSC, or just "lobrid" coolant.
      Motul has a specific 5110 spec (OAT lobrid), as does Valeo. Will be more expensive.
      Mannol AF13++ 4015 pre-mixed fits the same type of lobrid coolant but is not tested to PSA spec.
      Color doesnt matter, Stellantis uses yellow or blue in vehicles. Maybe other if they change suppliers.
      Do not use PSi Hybrid OAT like VW G12Evo, as those are against recommendations.

      @@GTC1357 You're welcome. I found it very hard to find.
      Coolant type should be on some sheets regarding engine types and what oil to use. Have you downloaded the online manual?
      As per maintenance sheet, need to regularly test the PH (not sure how, I check if close to original) and change every four years.
      Ask for the maintenance sheet at an official dealer. It will help you a lot on maintenance.

      No I wouldnt recommend using them, I along with a few other techs believe they dry the wet belts out too much with the harsh chemicals in them causing the belt to break down, youd be much better off changing the oil more frequently 👍

      Never use an engine flush. There is just no need to and will only ever cause harm to any engine, rather than fix anything. Engine oil itself has detergents within it to keep the engine clean.

      Unfortunately at some point you probably will, however its hoped that it would delay the belt break up and sump strainer blocking until the next belt change, the best bet is to also pay the extra 1hr labour plus silicone price during the cambelt change to remove the sump and get the strainer cleaned at the same time to prevent further / future headaches 👍

    • @ALLTHINGSJIM
      @ALLTHINGSJIM  Před 2 měsíci

      My advice would be dont. Walk away and forget about it if its burning oil. These engines are not very good or reliable, could be anything from piston rings, valve blowby or a simple case of oil dilution or a leak but most the time in these engines you will end up eventually having to rip apart and rebuild the engine or replace it

      My gut feeling when I heard about these engines was that they'd be a wrongun, before I heard actual reports.
      130hp out a turbocharged 3 cylinder engine was never going to be a reliable road engine, even before the wetbelt issues are thought about.
      They are built to pass increasingly unreachable emission regulations, at the expense of long term reliability.
      Friction has to be reduced wherever possible, by for instance using race type thin piston rings, which were never meant to last more than a season between engine rebuilds.
