4 known faults

PureTech 110

  1. Degraded “wet” timing belt (1.2 PureTech)

    Severity 3/3 · Serious

    On the 1.2 PureTech, the timing belt runs in oil and can disintegrate. Its debris clogs the oil strainer, causing oil pressure to drop, which can destroy the engine. Stellantis extended the belt warranty to 10 years or 175,000 km, subject to servicing conditions, and introduced a new-generation belt in June 2022.

    Clutch judder in first gear (1.2 Turbo 130 and diesels)

    Severity 1/3 · Annoying

    Hesitation or juddering when selecting first gear is reported on the Crossland X, especially with the 1.2 Turbo 130 hp and the diesels, often between 60,000 and 80,000 km according to a specialist site. A test on a hill, cold, in first and reverse, can reveal it.
