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

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.
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.
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.
