Citroën C1 1.2 Puretech 2014 timing belt interval

[PaulC5]

If you are going to fit a replacement used engine the timing belt should still be replaced and the used engine might not be in as good condition as your existing engine. There have been reports of the Puretech timing belts failing at around 20k miles and only 4 years old so what might seem like a low mileage engine could still have timing belt problems.

Indeed.

There are multiple variants of this engine so must be an exact match.... If you want to know the correct oil, pop your VIN up.

would you be able to tell me what oil my car needs its a citroen c1 1.2 puretech 2017? Would you also be able to tell me the interval for cambelt change?
