A rebuilt Peugeot 3008 1.6 THP engine typically costs **£1,600-£3,100** supply-only, depending on power output and supplier. EP6DT 156hp units start around **£1,600**, while EP6FDT 165hp units range **£1,700-£3,100**. Used engines start from **£700**. Supply & fit adds **£400-£900** labour. Main dealer replacement can exceed **£4,500**.

• Rebuilt EP6DT 156hp: £1,600-£2,900
• Rebuilt EP6FDT 165hp: £1,700-£3,100
• Used engines: £700-£1,500

The most common Peugeot 3008 1.6 THP engine problems are **timing chain stretch and tensioner failure** causing cold-start rattle, **high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) failure** causing hard starting and misfires, **carbon buildup on intake valves** from direct injection, and **turbocharger oil feed line leaks**. The EP6FDT 165hp variant is particularly susceptible to HPFP failure and timing chain guide wear.

• Timing chain rattle on cold start (common from 60k-90k miles)
• HPFP failure causing hard starting and misfires
• Carbon buildup causing rough idle and power loss
• Turbo oil feed leaks leading to turbo failure

Replacing a Peugeot 3008 1.6 THP engine is worthwhile if the vehicle is otherwise sound and the replacement cost stays below the vehicle's value. With 3008 1.6 THP values typically **£3,000-£8,000**, a rebuilt engine at **£1,600-£3,100** represents a significant investment but often makes sense for well-maintained examples. For sub-£4,000 examples, a used engine from £700 may be more economical.

• Rebuilt EP6DT 156hp: £1,600-£2,900
• Rebuilt EP6FDT 165hp: £1,700-£3,100
• Used engines: £700-£1,500

With proper maintenance, the Peugeot 3008 1.6 THP (EP6DT/EP6FDT) engine can reach **100,000-130,000 miles**. However, HPFP failure can appear as early as **50,000 miles**, and timing chain issues from **60,000-90,000 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 60,000 miles
• Carbon cleaning recommended every 40,000-60,000 miles
• Regular oil changes with correct spec critical for turbo health

The 1.6 THP (EP6DT/EP6FDT) is a **1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder** producing **156-165hp**, while the 1.2 PureTech is a **1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder** producing 110-130hp. The 1.6 THP uses a **timing chain** (which can stretch), while the PureTech uses a **wet timing belt** (which can degrade). The 1.6 THP is more powerful but also more complex and was only available in first-generation 3008s (2009-2016), whereas the PureTech powers second-generation models.

• 1.6 THP: 1.6L, 4-cylinder, 156-165hp, timing chain
• 1.2 PureTech: 1.2L, 3-cylinder, 110-130hp, wet timing belt
• 1.6 THP more powerful but more complex and failure-prone
