That is correct except for the turbo part, if i am not wrong it’s just the normal PureTech 1.2

something similar here with my dream car: https://www.uaz.ru/en/cars/hunter

I don’t want to scare you but engines 1.2 PureTech built from 2015 up to 2022 are known to sometimes develop engine problems.
There a lots of reports of excessive oil consumption and premature timing belt failures because it runs immersed in oil, unlike traditional timing belts, generating debris that clogs the lubrication system.

You can read about it here

The good news is that Peugeot (Stellantis) increased the warranty period to 10 years or 175 000 kms, so your car is still under warranty and you don’t have to pay nothing.

Go to the official Peugeot dealer and check if the timing belt was changed and, if not, demand it to be changed because the recommended replacement interval went from 100 000kms/10 years to 60 000/6 years.

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

They did improve the belt in 2021 onwards (at least on Opel), so it’s much more resistant to wear. But still it’s important to use exactly the oil that manufacturer recommends.

Part of the belt problems were because recommended oils were not used and maintenance program was not followed carefully enough.

I know this because I have my eyes on Opel Crossland that uses Stellantis engine… :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Yeah i am aware of it, the car will be fully checked within 3 weeks by a Peugeot dealer. My father in law had the same car, he has now a peugeot 208 from 2025 with the turbo engine.

Thanks for the warning.

Marshall Major V - I wanted Majors for quite a long time, since the first model, but always ditched them in favor of Beyerdynamic, Sony, KZ, Anker, and other brands.
First impressions aren’t extraordinary, but I’m not disappointed either and quite satisfied with how they meet my expectations.


My roommate got me into fountain pens and… here it begins.

I received my first pcb created with KiCAD from OSH Park. A very basic fuzz pedal pcb for guitars.

Check out that color, isn’t it beautiful? :stuck_out_tongue: :purple_heart: :purple_heart:

Kicad is pretty good for electrical circuit board layout and design. Interesting project.
