Maintenance
|
Service Intervals
|
Oil Change Interval:
|
Typically every 15,000 km (9,320 miles) or 12 months, whichever comes first, depending on driving conditions and oil specification.
|
Timing Belt Replacement:
|
For the 2.0L EW engine, timing belt replacement is critical, usually recommended every 90,000 - 120,000 km (56,000 - 75,000 miles) or 5-7 years.
|
Fluid Specifications
|
Engine Oil:
|
Likely requires a low-viscosity synthetic oil meeting PSA specifications, such as Total Quartz 9000 5W-30 or equivalent (e.g., ACEA A3/B4 or C2).
|
Coolant:
|
Silicate-free organic coolant (OAT) concentrate, mixed with distilled water. Specific PSA coolant types are recommended (e.g., Type D).
|
Brake Fluid:
|
DOT 4 brake fluid.
|
Known Issues
|
Common Faults:
|
Potential issues include electrical faults (e.g., CAN bus communication), suspension component wear (especially rear beam bushes), and minor engine management issues on some variants. Clutch slave cylinder on manual transmissions can be a weak point.
|
Transmission Issues:
|
Automatic transmission (AL4) can sometimes exhibit juddering or slipping if fluid is old or control solenoids require attention.
