The Peugeot HMZ (EB2F) was used across Peugeot's 20x/30x platforms with transverse mounting. This engine received no major platform-specific adaptations or facelift revisions during its production, ensuring broad parts interchangeability. All applications 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 HMZ's primary reliability consideration is intake valve carbon buildup, a common trait of its direct-injection design with elevated incidence in vehicles subjected to frequent short trips. Peugeot service data indicates this is a maintenance item rather than a critical failure, while its overall design offers good longevity. Neglecting oil changes and driving exclusively at low RPMs are the main factors that can lead to drivability issues.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
Generally, yes. The HMZ is a modern and efficient engine. Its main consideration is intake valve carbon buildup, which is manageable with proper driving habits and maintenance. With strict adherence to oil changes using the correct ACEA C2 specification, the engine and its timing chain can easily reach 150,000 km or more without major issues.
The most frequent issues are carbon buildup on intake valves (causing rough running), high-pressure fuel pump failure, turbocharger actuator problems (causing loss of boost), and oil leaks from the timing cover. These are well-documented in Peugeot service information and are generally repairable without engine replacement.
The HMZ engine was used in the Peugeot 208 (2015-2020) and Peugeot 308 (2015-2020) models. It was badged as the 1.2 PureTech 110, producing 110 PS. It was not used in any other Peugeot or Citroën models during this production period.
Aftermarket ECU tuning is common on the HMZ-EB2F 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.
Very good for a turbocharged engine. In a Peugeot 208, expect around 5.0-5.5 L/100km (51-56 mpg UK) in combined driving. Highway cruising can see figures as low as 4.5 L/100km (63 mpg UK), while city driving might be around 6.0-7.0 L/100km (40-47 mpg UK). Real-world figures are highly dependent on driving style.
Yes. The HMZ is an interference engine. If the timing chain were to fail catastrophically, the pistons would collide with the open valves, causing severe internal engine damage. While chain failure is rare with proper maintenance, it underscores the importance of using the correct oil and adhering to service intervals.
Peugeot mandates a low-ash, fully synthetic 0W-30 or 5W-30 oil meeting ACEA C2 specifications. This is critical to protect the turbocharger, catalytic converter, and particulate filter (if equipped). Oil should be changed every 20,000 km or annually, whichever comes first.
