Question 1

AdBlue (SCR) system faults (1.2 PureTech)

Accepted Answer

The SCR emissions system on the 1.2 PureTech can develop faults in the AdBlue pump, tank heater, NOx sensors or dosing injector, often caused by crystallised fluid. The dashboard shows an emissions warning and a countdown in miles after which the engine will not restart.

Question 2

Excessive oil consumption (1.2 PureTech)

Accepted Answer

Many 1.2 PureTech three-cylinder engines (also sold as the Vauxhall 1.2 Turbo) burn oil because of piston ring and carbon build-up problems, sometimes more than 1 litre every 1,000 miles (1,600 km). A low oil level accelerates wet belt wear and can lead to engine failure.

Question 3

Wet timing belt degradation (1.2 PureTech)

Accepted Answer

The 1.2 PureTech three-cylinder (also used as the Vauxhall 1.2 Turbo) has a timing belt that runs in oil. The belt can swell and shed rubber particles that block the oil pickup strainer and the brake vacuum pump, causing low oil pressure warnings, a hard brake pedal and, in the worst cases, engine failure. Stellantis extended warranty cover on many cars.
