Automotive Engines

The PSA EB engine, sold by PSA Group under the commercial name PureTech, is a family of small three-cylinder petrol engines built by Française de Mécanique. It was launched in 2012 on the first Peugeot 208 as a naturally aspirated VTi, and turbocharged eTHP versions followed in March 2014 on the Peugeot 308 II and Citroën C4 II. The family comes in two displacements, the 999 cc EB0 and the 1,199 cc EB2. Each is an inline three with a liquid-cooled aluminium head, twelve valves and overhead camshafts, and all but the EB0 carry a balance shaft to limit vibration. In its first two generations the camshafts were driven by a wet timing belt; a third generation from 2023 moved to a chain. The engine was meant to replace the older TU engine and the naturally aspirated EP versions, and after PSA bought Opel it also reached models such as the Crossland, Grandland and Corsa. The wet-belt generations later became known for belt breakdown and oil consumption problems.
