Peugeot 207 1.6 THP Engine ReplacementCompare Prices & Get Quotes

A rebuilt Peugeot 207 1.6 THP engine typically costs **£1,100-£2,400** supply-only, depending on power output and supplier. EP6DT 150hp units start around **£1,100**, while 5FY 175hp units range **£1,300-£2,400**. Used engines start from **£700**. Supply & fit adds **£450-£900** labour. Main dealer replacement can exceed **£4,000**.

• Rebuilt EP6DT 150hp: £1,100-£2,200
• Rebuilt 5FY 175hp: £1,300-£2,400
• Used engines: £700-£1,500

The most common Peugeot 207 1.6 THP engine problems are **high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) failure** causing hard starting and misfires, **timing chain stretch and tensioner failure** causing cold-start rattle, **carbon buildup on intake valves** from direct injection, and **turbocharger oil feed line leaks**. The 5FY 175hp variant is particularly susceptible to HPFP failure and timing chain guide wear.

• HPFP failure causing metallic contamination of fuel system
• Timing chain rattle on cold start (common from 40k-80k miles)
• Carbon buildup causing rough idle and power loss
• Turbo oil feed leaks leading to turbo failure

Replacing a Peugeot 207 1.6 THP engine is worthwhile if the vehicle is otherwise sound and the replacement cost stays below the vehicle's value. With 207 1.6 THP values typically **£2,000-£6,000**, a rebuilt engine at **£1,100-£2,400** represents a significant investment but often makes sense for well-maintained GTi and RC models. For sub-£2,500 examples, a used engine from £700 may be more economical. The 5FY 175hp variant's performance potential often justifies the investment.

• Rebuilt EP6DT 150hp: £1,100-£2,200
• Rebuilt 5FY 175hp: £1,300-£2,400
• Used engines: £700-£1,500

With proper maintenance, the Peugeot 207 1.6 THP (EP6DT/5FY) engine can reach **100,000-130,000 miles**. However, HPFP failure can appear as early as **50,000 miles**, and timing chain issues from **40,000-80,000 miles**. Regular oil changes with correct PSA-approved oil, timely timing chain replacement and HPFP monitoring are essential for longevity.

• HPFP failure common from 50,000 miles
• Timing chain inspection recommended from 40,000 miles
• Carbon cleaning recommended every 40,000-60,000 miles
• Regular oil changes with correct spec critical for turbo health

The 1.6 THP 150 (EP6DT, 5FX) produces **150hp** and was fitted to GT and Sport trims. The 1.6 THP 175 (5FY, EP6DTS) produces **175hp** and was fitted to RC (GTi) models. Both use the same 1.6L Prince architecture, but the 5FY has a higher-output calibration, larger turbocharger and more aggressive engine mapping. The 5FY is also more susceptible to HPFP failure and timing chain guide wear due to higher cylinder pressures.

• EP6DT 150hp: 150hp, GT/Sport trims
• 5FY 175hp: 175hp, RC/GTi trims
• 5FY more powerful but more vulnerable to HPFP and timing chain issues
