I've been looking at some 2019 C5 Aircrosses. I know someone who had a Citroen with the 1.2 petrol which went pop with the timing belt issue, so the 1.2 is ruled out. I also can't buy a diesel.

I'm finding is difficult to establish whether the 1.6 Puretec petrol engine with the EAT8 auto in these early cars has the same timing chain issue as the 1.2? Some forums say yes, others that they are fine.

Does anyone actually know?

Also interested if anyone has had any other issues in these cars, I actually had to reject one as the engine warning light came on a few hours after I bought it.....
