The Peugeot EB2F is a 1,199 cc, naturally aspirated inline‑three petrol engine produced between 2014 and 2021. It features an aluminum block and head, multipoint fuel injection, and dual overhead camshafts, delivering a consistent output of 60 kW (82 PS) and 118 Nm of torque. Its three‑cylinder design prioritizes packaging efficiency and low weight for enhanced fuel economy in city cars.
Fitted primarily to the Peugeot 108 (XV5), Citroën C1, and Toyota Aygo (second gene…
All production years 2014–2021 meet Euro 6 standards .
The Peugeot EB2F is a 1,199 cc inline‑three naturally aspirated petrol engineered for A‑segment city cars (2014-2021). It combines multipoint fuel injection with a lightweight design to deliver predictable, economical urban performance. Designed to meet Euro 6 standards, it prioritizes low running costs and reliability over high performance.

The Peugeot EB2F was used across PSA Group's A-segment platforms with transverse mounting. This engine shares its core architecture with the turbocharged EB2DT but features a simplified intake and exhaust system. 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.
The EB2F's primary documented characteristic is potential for higher initial oil consumption, noted in early production units. PSA service data indicates this is typically a transient issue that resolves after the running-in period, while owner reports confirm its general robustness. Adherence to the recommended oil specification and change intervals ensures long-term reliability.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The EB2F is widely regarded as a very reliable and robust engine. Its naturally aspirated, three-cylinder design is mechanically simple with few common failure points. The timing chain is designed to last the engine's lifetime. With regular oil changes using the correct specification, these engines can easily exceed 200,000 km without major issues.
The most commonly noted issues are slightly higher oil consumption in the first few thousand kilometers (which usually settles down), occasional idle air control valve sticking causing rough idle, and ignition coil failures leading to misfires. These are generally inexpensive and straightforward to fix.
The EB2F engine was used in the second-generation Peugeot 108 (XV5) from 2014 to 2021, specifically in the 1.2 VTi 82 variant. It was also shared with its platform siblings, the Citroën C1 VTi 82 and the Toyota Aygo 1.0 VVT-i (70 PS), making it a core engine for the joint PSA-Toyota A-segment project.
The EB2F has very limited tuning potential due to its naturally aspirated design and high compression ratio. Minor gains (5-8 PS) might be possible with an ECU remap and a less restrictive air filter, but significant power increases are not feasible without forced induction, which is impractical for this engine and platform.
Fuel economy is excellent for city driving. In the Peugeot 108 VTi 82, expect combined figures of around 4.1 L/100km (69 mpg UK). Real-world driving typically yields 4.5-5.5 L/100km (51-63 mpg UK) depending on conditions. Its efficiency is one of its primary selling points.
Yes. Like virtually all modern engines, the EB2F is an interference design. This means that if the timing chain were to fail (which is extremely rare), the pistons would collide with the open valves, causing catastrophic internal engine damage. Fortunately, the chain is very durable.
Peugeot mandates the use of low-ash, fully synthetic oil meeting the PSA B71 2290 specification, typically a 5W-30 viscosity. This is critical for protecting the timing chain and ensuring compatibility with emissions systems. Using the wrong oil can lead to increased wear.
