1.2 Turbo / Hybrid third generation with chain, 100-145 hp (from 2023) engine: faults and reliability

PSA / Stellantis 1.2 PureTech (EB2) version

With caution

The chain eliminates the belt problem, but you need to confirm that the 2025 recall for a possible petrol leak has been done and, on units built up to February 2024, the correction of the camshaft sprocket bolts.[1][2]

What changes in this version

A redesign with 70% new parts: timing chain instead of a belt, variable-geometry turbo, Miller cycle, 350 bar injection, new pistons and an improved oil separator. It debuted in 2023 in the 48 V hybrids (Hybrid 100/136, then 110/145) and in 2026 arrives without hybridisation in the 208 and 2008 as the Turbo 100.[3][4][5][6]

Engine codes of this version: EB2LTED, EB2LTEDH2.

Faults of the EB2LTED engine

The documented engine faults that affect this version and its years, from most to least important.

  1. 1Critical severityRareFrequency: RareFuelPossible petrol leak in the high-pressure circuit (chain-driven generation)In 2025 Stellantis recalled the new-generation 1.2 turbos (chain-driven, 100 and 136 hp, hybrids included) built from 2023 to 2025: a joint on the high-pressure pipe could leak petrol, with a risk of fire. It is fixed with a free re-tightening taking under 30 minutes.Repair: €0
  2. 2High severityRareFrequency: RareTimingTiming misalignment from the camshaft sprocket bolts (chain-driven generation)On the third-generation 1.2 (chain-driven) built up to 17 February 2024, the camshaft sprocket bolts could be incorrectly fitted and throw the timing out: engine warning light, loss of power and, in the worst case, contact between pistons and valves.
