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.
The engine code is essential for ordering parts, diagnosing issues, and verifying compatibility. It is not the same as the VIN or chassis number. This guide shows exactly where to find it - by model and engine type - using official Peugeot and DVLA sources
A unique identifier stamped on the engine block or cover used for parts and service.
The vehicle identification number that holds encoded vehicle and engine information.
The chassis or frame number used for registration and legal identification.
Locate the engine code on the timing belt cover, front of the engine. The code is stamped into the metal or on a label near the camshaft housing. Look for 'EB2' or 'EB2DT' for turbo variants.
The engine code is located on a label attached to the camshaft cover or timing chain housing. It reads 'EP6FDT' or 'EP6FDTM' for the 1.6L THP engine.
Open the bonnet and look at the front of the engine block near the timing belt cover. The code is stamped on the block or on a white label. Confirm 'DV6' for 1.6L HDi diesel models.
The engine code is cast into the engine block near the oil dipstick tube or on a label on the camshaft cover. Look for 'DW10' for 2.0L HDi engines.
Engine code locations per Peugeot Service Information. V5C field definitions from DVLA Guide to Vehicle Registration. VIN structure compliant with EU Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, Article 7.
A technical breakdown of Peugeot's core engine systems including PureTech, THP, HDi/BlueHDi, timing architectures and modular design with documented reliability impacts. All data sourced from PSA/Stellantis documentation and EU Regulation (EC) No 715/2007
Peugeot's PureTech EB family is a modular range of 3-cylinder petrol engines (1.0L and 1.2L) introduced in 2012. These engines feature direct injection, turbocharging (on most variants), and exceptional fuel efficiency.
The EB2 (1.2L) and EB0 (1.0L) engines use an aluminium block with cast iron cylinder liners, direct fuel injection at 200 bar, and a wet timing belt running in oil. Turbo variants use a single turbocharger with intercooling.
EB2 (2012)
1.2L, 82 HP
EB2DT (2014)
1.2L Turbo, 110-130 HP
EB2DTD (2018)
1.2L Turbo, 100-130 HP, improved reliability
EB2 Gen3 (2023)
Timing chain replaces wet belt
Wet timing belt degradation
Belt disintegrates in oil, blocking oil pickup (2012-2022 models)
Oil pressure loss
Caused by belt debris clogging oil system
Recall issued 2021
Peugeot issued recall for belt degradation

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
Confirm the full engine designation using vehicle-specific manufacturer records and the engine marking. An engine serial number, a registration record and a marketed power badge are not automatically the same identifier. Match the VIN/build data and the installed engine before selecting parts or a replacement.
No. A factory-application reference and a replacement-interchange decision are different. Match the full engine designation, vehicle build data, emissions equipment, controls and relevant supplier/OEM information.
No. Records have different review states. Read the correction notice, source scope and application limits on the individual record. Missing technical fields must not be inferred from similar engine codes.
