PEUGEOT 150H-XY8 engine (2014–2021) – Specs, Problems & Compatibility Database

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 generation), the EB2F was engineered for urban efficiency and low running costs. Emissions compliance was achieved through precise engine management and a close-coupled catalytic converter, allowing compliance with Euro 6 standards from its 2014 launch.

One documented characteristic is potential for higher-than-average oil consumption in early production units, addressed in Peugeot's Technical Note 15AZ03. This was linked to initial piston ring seating tolerances and typically stabilized after the first 10,000 km of operation.

Compliance Note:

All production years 2014–2021 meet Euro 6 standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/5679).

150H-XY8 Technical Specifications

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.

Practical Implications

The naturally aspirated design offers predictable, linear power delivery ideal for city driving and requires minimal specialized maintenance. Adherence to 20,000 km oil change intervals using PSA B71 2290 specification oil is recommended for chain longevity. Early production units may exhibit slightly higher oil consumption, which typically resolves after the running-in period; monitoring oil level is advised for the first 15,000 km. The engine's simplicity and lack of turbocharging make it robust and cost-effective to maintain.

Data Verification Notes

Oil Specs: Requires PSA B71 2290 (5W-30) specification (PSA Owner's Manual). Compatible with ACEA C2/C3 standards.

Emissions: Euro 6 certification applies to all model years 2014-2021 (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/5679).

Power Ratings: Measured under SAE J1349 standards. Peak output requires 95 RON fuel minimum (PSA TIS Doc. B12401).

150H-XY8 Compatible Models

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.

Identification Guidance

Locate the engine code stamped on the front face of the cylinder block, near the gearbox flange (PSA TIS B12351). The 8th VIN digit typically indicates engine displacement ('B' for 1.2L). Visually, the EB2F is identifiable by its compact three-cylinder layout and the absence of a turbocharger or intercooler piping. Critical differentiation from the turbo EB2DT: The EB2F has a simpler, single-piece intake manifold and no visible turbo on the exhaust side.

Common Reliability Issues - PEUGEOT 150H-XY8

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.

Higher initial oil consumption
Symptoms: Need to top up oil during the first 5,000-15,000 km (e.g., 0.3-0.8L), with consumption stabilizing thereafter.
Cause: Initial piston ring seating process in early production engines, allowing minor oil seepage into combustion chamber.
Fix: Monitor oil level regularly during the first 15,000 km; consumption typically normalizes. If excessive consumption persists, inspect for leaks or perform a compression/leak-down test per PSA diagnostic protocol.
Idle air control valve (IACV) sticking
Symptoms: Rough or unstable idle, occasional stalling at low speeds, idle speed hunting.
Cause: Carbon and oil vapor deposits accumulating on the IACV pintle, restricting its movement.
Fix: Clean the IACV with appropriate solvent or replace the unit if cleaning is ineffective, per PSA service procedure.
Ignition coil failure
Symptoms: Engine misfire, especially under load or in damp conditions; illuminated check engine light with misfire codes.
Cause: Degradation of the coil's internal insulation or connector corrosion leading to voltage leakage.
Fix: Replace the faulty ignition coil(s) with the latest OEM-specified unit; ensure connectors are clean and dry.
Engine mount wear
Symptoms: Increased vibration felt through the cabin, especially at idle; audible clunking during gear changes or over bumps.
Cause: Natural aging and hardening of the rubber components in the hydraulic engine mounts.
Fix: Replace worn engine mounts with new OEM units to restore smooth operation and reduce NVH.
