Character
PureTech 1.2T (EB2, 2017+)
"Gen 3 belt improved. 2023+ models use timing chain. Better but still needs careful maintenance."
TU5 1.6
"206/306/307 16V. Same TU family as TU3 but 1.6 with 16 valves. Timing belt. Oil leaks at high mileage. TU5JP4 used in 106 GTi/Saxo VTS — great motorsport pedigree. Simple, proven."
