First of all, I'm new to the forum, hello to all of you:) I have a 2013 model 208 1.6THP 156hp Allure vehicle, since 2017, I have 35 thousand kilometers of vehicle. It is now approaching 90 thousand. I love my vehicle very much, but some of my masters in the industry, my friends, etc. say that this engine is a chronically problematic engine, it will cost me serious costs in the future, it will require grinding, and I have to dispose of it before it reaches 100 thousand. The situation of the second hand market is known, yes, I can sell the vehicle at a price much higher than what I buy now, but it is almost impossible to replace it with the same money in this market. are there things I can do now to prevent problems and / or reduce damage as much as possible? If there is, I want to put the vehicle into a serious and detailed maintenance and extend its life as much as possible. How should I move? Until now, once (last year) the engine had a problem, occasionally it would misfire, and that was due to the failure of the fuel high pressure pump. Changed in Ankara Göral authorized service.

Hello teacher, welcome to us. Well, the master who said it, I saw a lot in me, I used 1.6 vti 120 hp 308 for 2 years, wow vti the engine is naughty, it gives continuous malfunction. Like our uninformed masters, all of them should learn their technical knowledge like a man long ago, how these engines are, just unscrew the two screws. However, with the old information, what is 100000 km past this engine now 5w / 30 oil is not put, let's put it 10/40. reap etc. After that, when the car started to malfunction, this car is bad. I stretched it out a bit, but I'm sorry, let's say whatever it is when I write more. A friend of mine with the same engine has 308 1.6 thp. Approached 150000 km. The biggest problem is that there is a problem in the valves. For now, you need to be careful not to buy fuel from every station where fuel is important, buy it from safe places you know. Choose full synthetic oils as motor oil, why am I saying these oils such as motul - liqu moil are really high quality oils and they are not fully synthetic. They pass as full synthetic oil, do not lose their lubricating properties at high temperatures and their evaporation rate is low. You could not know your spark plugs in both maintenance, replace every 3 maintenance. Never leave your engine without antifreeze. Change your gasoline filter every 2 maintenance. Make sure your tank is not under a quarter. Make sure that your oil and air filter is original. If you have authorized service, it will not be a problem, but they always use total oil. When your engine is cold, do not use it in cycles and do not wait for the engine to idle. Use it slowly, 4-5 km, so engine and turbo lubrication will be faster.

I guess those master disruptions mixed THP, a legendary engine, with a tsi engine, which is worth no money. As long as you do the maintenance and do not gass while it is cold, it will not be a problem, sir.
