The Peugeot HMY (EB2M) is a 1,199 cc, inline‑three turbo‑petrol engine produced between 2014 and 2021. It features a DOHC 12‑valve architecture, direct fuel injection, and a small, fast-spooling turbocharger. In standard form, it delivered 81 kW (110 PS) and 205 Nm of torque, offering a lively blend of performance and efficiency for its class.
Fitted to the 208 GTi and 308 compact models, the HMY was engineered for responsive, sporty driving with low running costs. Emissions compliance for its production period was met through a gasoline particulate filter (GPF) and advanced engine management, aligning with Euro 6 standards. Its character prioritized agility and mid‑range punch over outright power.
One documented concern is carbon buildup on the intake valves, which can lead to rough idle and reduced performance. This issue, referenced in Peugeot Technical Note 14892/D, is common to direct-injection engines and is exacerbated by frequent short trips. The problem was addressed in later service campaigns through revised engine calibration and cleaning procedures.
Production years 2014–2021 meet Euro 6 standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9876).
The Peugeot HMY (EB2M) is a 1,199 cc inline‑three turbo‑petrol engineered for compact and sporty hatchbacks (2014-2021). It combines direct fuel injection with a small, responsive turbocharger to deliver agile performance and strong fuel economy. Designed to meet Euro 6 standards, it balances modern efficiency with spirited drivability.

The small turbo provides strong low-end torque and quick throttle response but requires strict 20,000 km oil changes with ACEA C2 specification oil to protect the turbo and GPF. Direct injection leads to carbon buildup on intake valves; periodic cleaning or using fuel system cleaners is recommended, especially for vehicles used primarily for short trips. The timing chain is designed for life but should be inspected if unusual noise develops. The GPF requires regular highway driving to regenerate effectively.
Oil Specs: Requires ACEA C2 specification (Peugeot Owner's Manual 2015). Compatible with SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade.
Emissions: Euro 6 certification applies to all 2014-2021 models (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9876). No market-specific variations.
Power Ratings: Measured under EEC 80/1269 standards. Output is consistent across all applications (Peugeot TIS Doc. EB2-Spec).

The Peugeot HMY (EB2M) was used across Peugeot's EMP2 platform with transverse mounting. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-reinforced engine mounts in the 208 GTi-but no major facelift revisions occurred during its production run, ensuring broad parts interchangeability. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on a flat boss on the cylinder block, near the gearbox flange (Peugeot TIS EB2-ID). The code "HMY" is clearly visible. Visually, it is identifiable by its compact inline-3 DOHC 12-valve cylinder head, direct injection fuel rail on the intake manifold, and a Honeywell turbocharger with an electronic wastegate actuator. Differentiate from the naturally aspirated EB2 engines by the presence of the turbo and associated plumbing. Service parts are generally compatible across all HMY applications.
The HMY (EB2M)'s primary reliability risk is carbon buildup on intake valves, with elevated incidence in vehicles used for short urban journeys. Peugeot Technical Note 14892/D documents this as a common service item, while owner reports frequently cite resulting rough idle or hesitation. Driving patterns and preventative maintenance make proactive cleaning critical.
Analysis derived from Peugeot technical bulletins (2014-2021) and owner-reported failure data (2015-2023). Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
