Not sure what engine it was but think it was The non turbo one that had a tsb (technical bulletin) where you update The ecu change sparkplugs and clean valves becuse of excsessive sot. Mayby not so helpfull but common on citroen in europ a brand i worked for. The offical failure mode to warrenty The repair was. Anti polution light, porr preformens,sparkplug failure and engine stop when driveing. It was a very big issue atleast in my region/country (sweden) they would warrenty it. Mayby not so helpfull but i rarly seen big fauilers of PSA engines. But if it is a worn piston ring it is more cost effektiv to change engine it takes less time and less likley to damage or improperly repering the engien. ( i know my english is bad but i am working on it 🙂
Nooo. I worked at a hyundai dealership (Kia and hyundai are same drivetrain and chassi) and petrol engines at hyundai work and almost never failed when maintainde with synthetic oil and correct maintence (TIME AND DISTENS) in my experience they worked The best if you leave it alone and check oil and coolent. The reason for The oil looking black is they drain oil poorly and got black as fast as The crdi (diesel). That is my conclution but i live in sweden where there are more crdi so i dont have a big samspel size. The ones that did The shorter but cheaper petrol service hade no trouble. The main issue with gdi was missed service or interfernes like flash/chip tune and short driving cykels and often resulted in engine replacement. Btw sorry for lacking in english skills it is my first post. Just ask my to clarify if i made no send 🙂
