Variant HistoryPeugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech - Engine History & Specs at a Glance
The Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech has been the dominant petrol engine across both generations of the compact crossover - the first-generation A94 (2013-2019) and the second-generation P24 (2019-present). Part of PSA's EB2 family, the 1.2 PureTech replaced earlier VTi units with a more efficient three-cylinder design, offering outputs from 82hp to 130hp across Active, Allure and GT trims. However, the engine's wet timing belt design has made it the subject of intense UK replacement demand.

The Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech's EB2 engine family is the subject of intense UK replacement demand due to one critical vulnerability - the wet timing belt. Unlike conventional belts, the PureTech's belt runs inside the engine, constantly exposed to heat and engine oil. Over time, the belt degrades, shedding rubber particles that clog the oil pump strainer, triggering low oil pressure warnings and, if ignored, catastrophic engine failure. Every rebuilt Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech engine through EnginesMarket includes upgraded components addressing the original failure points, plus a minimum 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty.
Why Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech Engines Lose Oil Pressure
Affected Vehicles
Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech (EB2, EB2DT, EB2ADT, 2013-2024)
Typical Failure Mileage
40,000-80,000 miles
Root Cause
The wet timing belt degrades over time, shedding rubber particles into the engine oil. These particles block the oil pump strainer, starving the engine of lubrication and triggering the low oil pressure warning. Peugeot recommends belt inspection every 20,000 km (12,000 miles) or annually, with replacement at 60,000 miles or 6 years.

Our Recommendation
Our Recommendation
If your Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech shows the low oil pressure warning, stop driving immediately. A preventative belt change at a specialist is far cheaper than a full replacement - typically £900-£1,400 versus £1,200-£2,100 for a rebuilt engine. Peugeot recommends belt replacement at 60,000 miles or 6 years. Once the engine has seized or knocked, only a rebuilt unit makes financial sense.

A rebuilt Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech engine typically costs **£1,200-£2,100** supply-only, depending on power output and condition. EB2 100hp units start around **£1,200**, while EB2DT 130hp turbo units range **£1,400-£2,100**. Used engines start from **£500**. Supply & fit adds **£400-£800** labour.

- Rebuilt EB2DT: £1,400-£2,100
- Used engines: £500-£1,400
- Wet belt replacement (preventative): £900-£1,400
Question 2What causes the Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech low oil pressure warning-
The low oil pressure warning on Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech engines is caused by **wet timing belt degradation**. The belt sheds rubber particles into the engine oil, which block the oil pump strainer and starve the engine of lubrication. Peugeot recommends belt inspection every 20,000 km or 1 year, with belt width measurement (<16.6mm).
- Wet belt runs inside the engine, exposed to heat and oil
- Rubber particles contaminate oil and clog the strainer
- Warning may appear intermittently at first
- Stop driving immediately if warning appears
Question 3Is it worth replacing the engine on a Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech-
Replacing a Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech engine is usually worthwhile if the vehicle is otherwise sound. A rebuilt unit costs **£1,200-£2,100** versus **£4,000-£16,000** for a comparable used 2008. With Peugeot dealer replacement exceeding **£6,000**, specialist rebuilt units offer exceptional value. Check eligibility for Stellantis's Customer Support Programme - some repairs may be covered at 100% for up to 10 years / 112,000 miles.
- Rebuilt engine: £1,200-£2,100
- Comparable used 2008: £4,000-£16,000
- Peugeot dealer replacement: £6,000+
Question 4How long does a Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech engine last-
With proper maintenance, Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech engines typically reach **100,000-150,000 miles**. However, the wet belt is the critical lifespan limiter - Peugeot recommends replacement at **60,000 miles or 6 years**, whichever comes first. Regular oil changes with correct PSA-approved oil and belt inspections are essential for longevity.
- Wet belt replacement at 60,000 miles / 6 years
- Oil changes critical to prevent belt degradation
- Some owners recommend oil changes every 5,000 miles or 6 months
Question 5What's the difference between EB2, EB2DT and EB2ADT engines-
The EB2 family powers all Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech variants. **EB2** is the 100hp naturally aspirated unit. **EB2ADT** is the 110hp turbocharged mid-range option. **EB2DT** is the 130hp turbocharged high-output unit fitted to GT and GT Premium trims. All share the same wet belt vulnerability.
- EB2: 100hp, naturally aspirated (2013-2019)
- EB2ADT: 110hp, turbocharged (2016-2024)
- EB2DT: 130hp, turbocharged (2015-2024)
- All use the 1.2L (1,199cc) three-cylinder architecture
