The Peugeot 1.2L PureTech 110 is a 1,199 cc, inline‑three turbocharged petrol engine produced from 2014 to 2023. It features direct fuel injection, a BorgWarner turbocharger, and a DOHC 12‑valve layout with variable valve timing. In standard form it delivers 81 kW (110 PS) and 205 Nm of torque, offering strong low‑end response and class‑leading fuel efficiency for its displacement.
Fitted to models such as the 208, 308, 2008, and 3008—including the 208 Active, 308 Allure…
Production years 2014–2017 meet Euro 5/Euro 6b standards; 2018–2023 models comply with Euro 6d-TEMP .
The Peugeot 1.2L PureTech 110 is a 1,199 cc inline‑three turbocharged petrol engine engineered for compact hatchbacks and SUVs (2014–2023). It combines direct injection with a single turbocharger and variable valve timing to deliver responsive low‑rpm torque and low CO₂ emissions. Designed to meet Euro 6b and Euro 6d-TEMP standards, it balances urban drivability with fuel economy.

The Peugeot 1.2L PureTech 110 was used across Peugeot's EMP1 and PF1 platforms with transverse mounting and no external licensing. This engine received platform-specific adaptations—reinforced mounts in the 3008 SUV and revised cooling ducts in the 208—and from 2018 the facelifted 308 adopted GPF integration and updated ECU calibration, creating minor service part distinctions. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
Diagnostic reminder: If a technician has recommended replacing the engine, you can send an enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. Confirm the diagnosis first: an engine-code record does not diagnose a fault.
Field reports and technical service bulletins highlight component wear patterns under high-load operation. Adherence to manufacturer service intervals and approved fluid specifications is critical for long-term reliability.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
Generally yes—with caveats. The engine offers strong efficiency and performance, but pre-2019 units have a known timing belt tensioner weakness. Post-2019 revisions resolved this. Regular servicing, correct oil (ACEA C2/C3), and timely belt changes (120,000 km/8 years) are essential for longevity beyond 200,000 km.
Top issues are timing belt tensioner failure (pre-2019), high-pressure fuel pump wear, GPF clogging (2018+), and thermostat housing leaks. All are documented in Peugeot service bulletins. Most stem from maintenance gaps or short-trip driving—not inherent design flaws.
It powers the 208 (2015–2023), 308 (2014–2021), 2008 (2016–2023), and 3008 (2017–2023) across Active, Allure, and GT Line trims. All post-2018 models include a gasoline particulate filter for Euro 6d-TEMP compliance.
Aftermarket ECU tuning is common on the 1-2L-PURETECH-110 platform, but increasing boost or altering engine parameters accelerates component wear, impacts emissions compliance, and may void vehicle warranties. Any modifications should be evaluated carefully by a qualified specialist.
Excellent for a turbo petrol. In a 208 or 308, expect ~6.2 L/100km (city) and ~4.3 L/100km (highway), or ~52 mpg UK combined. Real-world mixed driving typically returns 48–55 mpg UK, aided by low displacement and turbo torque.
Yes. It is an interference design. If the timing belt fails or skips, pistons can contact valves, causing severe internal damage. This underscores the critical importance of adhering to the 120,000 km/8-year belt replacement schedule.
ACEA C2 or C3 low-ash 0W‑30 or 5W‑30 synthetic oil. This protects the GPF and turbocharger. Never use non-low-ash oils—they accelerate GPF clogging. Change every 12 months or 15,000 km (whichever comes first).
