Peugeot 207 1.6 THP - Engine History & Specs at a Glance
The Peugeot 207 1.6 THP was the performance flagship of the 207 range, bringing turbocharged power to the compact hatchback. Powered by the Prince engine family - jointly developed by PSA and BMW - the 1.6 THP (Turbo High Pressure) delivered up to 175hp in the GTi and RC models. First introduced in 2008, the 1.6 THP featured twin-scroll turbocharging, direct injection and advanced engine management, making it one of the most exciting hot hatches of its era. However, its complexity and well-documented reliability issues - particularly high-pressure fuel pump failure, timing chain stretch and carbon buildup - have made it a growing source of replacement enquiries for owners of the 207 GT, GTi and RC.

The Peugeot 207 1.6 THP (EP6DT/5FY) is a thrilling engine when running well, but its Prince architecture - shared with BMW and Mini - has well-documented weaknesses. High-pressure fuel pump failure, timing chain stretch, carbon buildup and turbocharger issues are the primary drivers of replacement enquiries. The 175hp 5FY variant is particularly susceptible to HPFP failure and timing chain guide wear. Every rebuilt Peugeot 207 1.6 THP engine through EnginesMarket includes upgraded components addressing the original failure points, plus a minimum 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty.

Affected Vehicles
Peugeot 207 1.6 THP (EP6DT / 5FY, 2008-2013)
Typical Failure Mileage
50,000-80,000 miles
Root Cause
The Bosch HPFP's internal cam follower wears prematurely, causing metal contamination to circulate through the high-pressure fuel rail and injectors. Symptoms include hard starting, rough idle, misfires and, in severe cases, complete non-start. The issue is particularly common on the 5FY 175hp variant due to higher fuel pressures.

Our Recommendation
Our Recommendation
HPFP failure on the Peugeot 207 1.6 THP is catastrophic if delayed. If diagnostic codes show fuel rail pressure deviation alongside metallic fuel, budget for a full engine replacement immediately - repairing injectors alone will not prevent repeat failure. The 5FY 175hp variant is especially susceptible; HPFP failure is one of the most common reasons for 207 GTi engine replacement.

Peugeot 207 1.6 THP Engine ReplacementFrequently Asked Questions
Question 1How much does a Peugeot 207 1.6 THP engine replacement cost-
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
Question 2What are the most common Peugeot 207 1.6 THP engine problems-
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
Question 3Is it worth replacing the engine on a Peugeot 207 1.6 THP-
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
Question 4How long does a Peugeot 207 1.6 THP engine last-
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
Question 5What's the difference between Peugeot 207 1.6 THP 150 and 175 engines-
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
Question 6How do I find my Peugeot 207 1.6 THP engine code-
Your Peugeot 207 1.6 THP engine code is **EP6DT (5FX)** for 150hp models or **5FY (EP6DTS)** for 175hp models. It appears on the VIN plate under the bonnet, stamped on the engine block, or on your V5C registration document section D.2. Enter your reg above for instant verification.
- VIN plate under bonnet shows engine code
- V5C section D.2 lists the official engine code
- EP6DT / 5FX = 1.6L THP 150; 5FY / EP6DTS = 1.6L THP 175
