Character

EB0 1.0 PureTech

"108/C1/Aygo base engine. Oil overconsumption reported. Adequate but not impressive."

TU3 1.4

"15 million TU engines made. Simple cast iron block. Timing belt (not chain). Head gasket can fail on very old units. Incredibly cheap to maintain. 206/207/C3 workhorse. Over-engineered for what it does."
