His most common problems:

• Hybride 48V : The 48V light hybridization introduced on the diesel blocks at the end of their career has several shortcomings. The system is blocked and does not effectively manage the transition between thermal and electric. This can lead to engine paralysis or even breakage. The 1.6 CRDi is more affected than the 2.0 CRDi.
• Manual gearbox: On the 1.7 CRDi, the transmission can sometimes experience synchronizer problems from 80,000 kilometers, which creates creaks when changing gears.
• Clutch : On CRDi diesel variants, the clutch is prone to slippage and can wear prematurely. Problems of this kind have been reported from 40,000 kilometers.
• Double-clutch: The double clutch which equips the versions fitted with the DCT gearbox can be brutal and give jerks when starting. Some owners had to replace it before 100,000 kilometers.
