Labour Guide
Fitting an EB2DTS typically takes 6-10 hours at £65-£91/hr (independent specialist) - confirm exact labour when comparing quotes.
Price Factors
What moves the price on an EB2DTS is whether the wet belt has been replaced, the condition of the injectors, and whether the engine has suffered from oil pressure issues due to belt debris blocking the oil pickup. The higher output of the EB2DTS means the turbo and injectors are under more stress than the 110 hp EB2ADTS. A reconditioned unit that includes a new wet belt, new injectors, and a full oil system flush commands a premium over a used take-out. See our full reconditioned engine cost guide.

Common Problems
Peugeot EB2DTS Engine Problems - What Actually Fails
Every engine has its weak points. Here are the known issues with the EB2DTS, based on real-world data and verified failure patterns.
Verified issue focus: Wet belt degradation.
1. Wet Belt Degradation - The PureTech's Most Notorious Issue
1. Wet Belt Degradation - The PureTech's Most Notorious Issue
Typical onset:
40,000-80,000 miles (dependent on oil quality and change intervals)
What happens:
Like all EB2 family engines, the EB2DTS uses a wet timing belt that runs in the engine oil. Over time, the belt degrades and sheds material into the oil system, blocking the oil pickup strainer. This leads to oil starvation, low oil pressure, and ultimately catastrophic engine failure. The higher output of the EB2DTS means it runs hotter, potentially accelerating belt degradation. This is the single biggest failure point on the PureTech engine and has been the subject of multiple recalls and technical campaigns. The issue is particularly prevalent on engines with long oil change intervals or incorrect oil specification.
Repair vs replace:
If caught early (before oil pressure drops), belt replacement is a specialist job (£600-£1,200) and includes cleaning the oil pickup strainer. If the engine has suffered oil starvation due to a blocked pickup, the bottom end (crankshaft bearings, conrod bearings) is usually damaged - in this case, a full replacement is the only safe option. Read our full wet belt failure guide

2. Fuel Injector Failure - Misfires & Rough Running
2. Fuel Injector Failure - Misfires & Rough Running
Typical onset:
40,000-70,000 miles (earlier than on the 110 hp version)
What happens:
The EB2DTS uses direct injection with higher fuel pressure than the EB2ADTS due to its increased output. This puts more stress on the injectors, which can become clogged or fail electrically. Symptoms include misfires, rough idle, hesitation on acceleration, and check-engine lights. This is particularly common on cars used primarily for short urban journeys.
Repair vs replace:
Injector cleaning or replacement is a straightforward job (£300-£600 per injector). Replacement of all three injectors is often recommended as a preventative measure if one has failed, as the others are likely to follow soon. Read our full fuel system failure guide
Read more about this issue
3. Ignition Coil Failure - Misfires & Reduced Power
3. Ignition Coil Failure - Misfires & Reduced Power
Typical onset:
40,000-70,000 miles
What happens:
The EB2DTS's ignition coils can fail, causing misfires and reduced power. This is more common on older examples (2015-2018) and can be triggered by heat and vibration.
Repair vs replace:
Coil replacement is straightforward (£150-£300 per coil). Replacement of all three coils is often recommended as a preventative measure.
Read more about this issue
The EB2DTS was revised from 2018 onwards with improved belt materials and revised service schedules. Post-2018 engines are significantly more reliable, but the wet belt remains a scheduled maintenance item with a recommended replacement interval of 6 years or 60,000 miles (reduced from the original 10-year/100,000-mile schedule). Always use the correct oil specification (PSA B71 2300/2312) - using the wrong oil accelerates belt degradation. The higher output of the EB2DTS means more frequent oil changes (every 5,000-8,000 miles) are recommended to protect the belt and turbocharger.

Engine Variants
How to Confirm You Have the EB2DTS
The EB2DTS is the 130 hp version of Peugeot's 1.2 PureTech engine. It's part of the EB2 family, which includes the naturally aspirated EB2 (82 hp), the turbocharged EB2ADTS (110 hp), and this higher-output EB2DTS. The EB2DTS is distinguished by its 130 hp output, larger turbocharger, higher fuel pressure, and specific ECU calibration. Where the code appears: - Stamped on a metal plate on the engine block (left-hand side, near the timing cover) - On the V5C logbook under "Engine number" (the first 7 characters will read EB2DTS) - Via VIN decoder - the PureTech engine family is identified by the model designation Commonly confused with: - EB2ADTS - 110 hp lower-output version, smaller turbocharger, different ECU calibration, lower fuel pressure - EB2 - 1.2L naturally aspirated (82 hp), no turbocharger - EB2ADT - earlier 110 hp turbo version before ADTS designation

Buying Guide
Buying a Replacement EB2DTS - What to Choose
Choosing the right replacement route depends on your budget, risk tolerance, and ownership goals. Here's a breakdown of your options.
Used:
** A used EB2DTS can make sense for lower-value Peugeot 208 GT or Citroën C4 models where the car's value doesn't justify a recon unit. However, the wet belt is the single biggest risk - only consider a used unit with documented proof of recent belt replacement (within the last 30,000 miles or 3 years). The higher output of the EB2DTS means the turbo and injectors are also potential wear items. Without a documented history, factor in £600-£1,200 for belt replacement and oil system cleaning, plus potential turbo and injector costs. Link once: /services/used-engines
Reconditioned:
** A proper EB2DTS recon is the best option for owners planning to keep their car long-term, especially for the 3008 and 5008 where the engine works harder. A quality recon should include: full strip and inspection, new wet belt and tensioner (critical), new injectors (critical due to higher stress), new ignition coils, new gaskets and seals, turbocharger inspection/refurbishment, and a full oil system flush. With a 12-24 month warranty, this gives you peace of mind that the engine's known weaknesses have been addressed - well worth the £1,500-£2,500 supply cost. Link once: /services/reconditioned-engines
Rebuilt:
** A full rebuild is justified when the original engine has suffered catastrophic failure (oil starvation due to blocked pickup, seized bottom end) and the car is a cherished keeper or low-mileage example. An upgraded rebuild should include new crankshaft bearings, conrod bearings, new pistons/rings if damaged, refreshed cylinder head, turbocharger refurbishment, and a full oil system flush. This is specialist territory and typically only makes sense for cars with strong residual value (e.g., low-mileage 3008 GT). Link once: /services/rebuilt-engines
Supply & Fit Line:
** All engines can be supplied and fitted through our network of vetted Peugeot specialists nationwide, with 12-month warranty on reconditioned and rebuilt units. Link once: /services/supply-and-fit
Vehicle Value Note:
** The EB2DTS sits in Peugeot 208, 308, 3008, 5008, Citroën C4 and DS models - cars worth £4,000-£25,000 depending on age and condition. With a reconditioned supply cost of £1,500-£2,500, replacement is viable on most examples. However, for a sub-£4,000 208 or C4 with high mileage and a failed engine, a used unit (£800-£1,500) with documented belt history may be the only sensible option. For the heavier 3008 and 5008, the engine works harder - a reconditioned unit is strongly recommended to ensure longevity. For cars worth under £3,000, consider breaking the car before committing to a replacement engine.

Question 2What is the wet belt problem on the EB2DTS PureTech engine-
Like all EB2 family engines, the EB2DTS uses a wet timing belt that runs in the engine oil. Over time, the belt degrades and sheds material into the oil system, blocking the oil pickup strainer. This leads to oil starvation, low oil pressure, and ultimately catastrophic engine failure. The higher output of the EB2DTS means it runs hotter, potentially accelerating belt degradation. Early symptoms: oil pressure warning light, rattling on start-up. Prevention: belt replacement at 6 years / 60,000 miles (revised schedule). Always use PSA B71 2300/2312 oil - incorrect oil accelerates belt degradation.

Question 4Should I buy a used or reconditioned EB2DTS engine-
A used EB2DTS can be viable for lower-value Peugeot 208 GT or Citroën C4 models, but only if it has documented proof of recent wet belt replacement (within the last 30,000 miles or 3 years). The higher output of the EB2DTS means the turbo and injectors are also potential wear items - factor in additional costs if the history is unclear. A reconditioned engine is the safer choice - it includes new wet belt, injectors, coils, and often a turbo inspection, with a 12-24 month warranty. Used is cheaper (£800-£1,500) but wet belt and injector risks are significant. Reconditioned addresses all known weak points and gives peace of mind.

- Reconditioned: addresses all known weak points and gives peace of mind.
Question 5How do I confirm if my car has the EB2DTS or the EB2ADTS-
Check the engine code stamped on the block (left-hand side near the timing cover) - it will read EB2DTS for the 130 hp variant, or EB2ADTS for the 110 hp variant. The V5C logbook also lists the full engine number, with the first 7 characters identifying the code. EB2DTS: 130 hp, larger turbocharger, higher fuel pressure, specific ECU calibration. EB2ADTS: 110 hp, smaller turbocharger, lower fuel pressure, different ECU. Fitting the wrong variant requires ECU reflash and potentially turbocharger and injector changes - not a straight swap.

- EB2ADTS: 110 hp, smaller turbocharger, lower fuel pressure, different ECU.

Question 6How long does an EB2DTS engine typically last-
With meticulous maintenance and early preventative work, these engines can exceed 100,000-120,000 miles. The EB2DTS is fundamentally a good engine; the limiting factor is the wet belt and the oil system. The higher output means more frequent servicing is recommended. Wet belt replacement strongly recommended at 6 years / 60,000 miles. Regular oil changes (5,000-8,000 miles) with PSA B71 2300/2312 oil are essential - more frequent than the 110 hp version. Never use non-approved oil - it accelerates belt degradation.
