Disadvantages of the Peugeot EB0 engine
A recall campaign was implemented for these engines because of crankshaft axial play.
After 100,000 kilometers of running, there are numerous complaints about oil consumption on specialized forums.
However, the timing belt in the oil bath is the motor’s primary issue.
Its wear products clog oil channels, and it wears out very quickly.
For units in this series, the oil pump does not last very long because of this.
