PSA TU engine

Automotive Engines

The TU family is a range of small four-stroke inline-four engines from PSA Peugeot Citroën, introduced in 1986 and fitted first to the Citroën AX in October 1986, where it replaced the X family. It was built as a petrol engine and as the naturally aspirated TUD diesel. Unlike the X engine, which had its gearbox in the sump and a chain driven camshaft, the TU stands upright with an end-on transmission and a belt driven camshaft. By 1988 it had replaced the X engine in the Peugeot 205, Citroën BX and Citroën C15, and in 1991 it replaced the Simca Poissy engine in the Peugeot 309. Sizes ran from the 954 cc TU9 to the 1.6 litre TU5, which lived on as the EC5 in the Peugeot 301, and related engines were also made in Iran.
