Here's a summary of the video's findings:- The 1.2 PureTech engine, introduced in 2012, is commonly found in Peugeot, Citroen, and Vauxhall vehicles.
- The engine was designed to replace the old TU engine.
- The engine is lightweight, has three cylinders, and was initially normally aspirated.
- Turbocharged versions of the 1.2 were designed, which significantly increased power.
- Oil consumption is a primary concern.
- The most common reason for oil consumption issues is failing piston rings.
- Other common problems include cam belt failures, engine smoke, and oil starvation.
- The engines should be serviced more frequently than the manufacturer’s recommended intervals of 10,000–12,000 miles.
- The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve can cause excessive oil consumption.
