The EW and DW engines are a family of straight-four automobile engines built by the PSA Group for its Peugeot and Citroën cars. Introduced in 1998 to replace the XU, they reuse many XU parts, notably the crankshaft, in lighter materials. EW is the petrol line, running from 1.7 to 2.2 litres with double overhead camshafts, and DW is the diesel line. The 2.0 litre DW10 was the first PSA diesel with common rail direct injection, sold as HDi, and it became the basis of the Duratorq diesels co-developed with Ford and Volvo. The 2.2 litre DW12 followed in 2000 and was also built in India by Tata and Mahindra. Euro 5 rules ended the petrol EW engines in Europe, where the turbocharged 1.6 litre Prince engine replaced them.
