- 1.2 PureTech "Wet Belt" DegradationSerious
The timing belt runs in oil and can degrade, shedding debris that blocks the oil pickup. This leads to oil starvation, vacuum pump failure, and a dangerous loss of braking assistance (Recall R/2020/331).
- AdBlue Tank and Pump Failure (BlueHDi)Serious
Urea crystallisation can cause the AdBlue pump or injector to fail, typically requiring a complete tank replacement.
