Common Failure
The 1.2 PureTech engine suffers from premature timing belt degradation due to the "wet belt" design, where the timing belt runs submerged in engine oil. Belt material can degrade and shed particles into the oil system, blocking the oil pickup and leading to oil starvation and catastrophic engine failure. Stellantis has issued an extended warranty of 10 years or 175,000 kilometres for affected models.
The Peugeot 108 1.2 PureTech (EB2-family) is a refined three-cylinder petrol engine, but it has a critical design flaw - the "wet belt" timing belt that runs in engine oil. Premature belt degradation can lead to oil starvation and catastrophic engine failure. Rebuilt engines through EnginesMarket include upgraded components addressing the original failure points, plus a minimum 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty.
Why the Peugeot 108 1.2 PureTech Fails Prematurely
Affected Vehicles

Typical Failure Mileage
40,000-60,000 miles (can occur earlier with poor maintenance)
Root Cause
The 1.2 PureTech engine uses a "wet belt" timing belt that runs submerged in engine oil. Over time, the belt material degrades due to chemical reactions with contaminants in the oil, shedding particles into the oil system. These particles can block the oil pickup strainer, leading to oil starvation, low oil pressure, and catastrophic engine failure.

Vehicle Value Check
Vehicle Value Check
A typical Peugeot 108 1.2 PureTech is worth approximately £3,000-£7,000 depending on mileage, condition, and specification. - Vehicle worth under ~£3,500: used engine typically makes more sense than a full rebuilt unit. - Vehicle worth ~£3,500-£5,000: evaluate both; reconditioned is viable if keeping the car 2+ years. - Vehicle worth £5,000+: reconditioned/rebuilt usually justifies the premium via warranty and reliability.
Our Recommendation
Our Recommendation
Preventative timing belt replacement is the single most important maintenance item for the 1.2 PureTech. Replace the belt at the manufacturer-recommended interval (check with your dealer based on VIN - intervals vary from 60,000 to 112,000 miles depending on production date) or earlier if any signs of degradation are present. Stellantis has issued an extended warranty of 10 years or 175,000 kilometres for affected models - check if your vehicle is covered before paying for repairs. If the belt has failed and caused engine damage, a rebuilt engine with warranty is often the most reliable long-term solution.

Question 3Does the Peugeot 108 1.2 PureTech have a timing belt or chain-
The Peugeot 108 1.2 PureTech uses a timing belt - specifically a "wet belt" that runs submerged in engine oil. Most timing belts do not run in oil, and this design has been the source of significant reliability concerns.
- Timing belt (wet belt), not chain
- Belt runs in engine oil - requires regular inspection
- Belt degradation can cause oil starvation
Question 4Is it worth replacing the engine in a Peugeot 108 1.2 PureTech-
Yes - if the chassis and body are in good condition, a rebuilt EB2 with upgraded components adds significant value and extends the vehicle's life. Given the vehicle's value (£3,000-£7,000), replacement cost should be evaluated against the car's condition. Check if your vehicle is covered by Stellantis's extended 10-year/175,000km warranty before committing to replacement.
- Rebuilt engine adds significant value to a well-maintained 108
- 12-month unlimited mileage warranty provides peace of mind
- Upgraded components address original failure points
Question 5How long does a Peugeot 108 1.2 PureTech engine replacement take-
A Peugeot 108 1.2 PureTech engine replacement typically takes 2-4 days total. This includes 1-2 days for removal and fitting, plus additional time if the replacement engine requires preparation.

- Rebuilt engine supply & fit: 2-3 days
- Allow extra time for ECU programming and BSI recalibration after installation
Question 6What oil should I use in my Peugeot 108 1.2 PureTech-
Use 0W-30 or 5W-30 fully synthetic engine oil meeting PSA B71 2290 or B71 2312 specification. The correct oil is critical for the 1.2 PureTech - using the wrong oil can accelerate wet belt degradation. Always use PSA-approved oil and follow the recommended service intervals.
- 0W-30 or 5W-30 fully synthetic
- Must meet PSA B71 2290 or B71 2312 specification
- Correct oil is critical for wet belt longevity
