Reconditioned Peugeot 207 Engine

Peugeot 207 Engine from 2006 to 2013: two engine families, five power units, twelve codes — a timeline that changes everything when it comes to identification

The 207 spans seven years of production without its mechanicals ever standing still. Between 2006 and 2013, Peugeot developed its engine blocks in parallel across the petrol and diesel ranges, meaning two vehicles from the same model year can carry different engine codes, and a given code may have been dropped from the catalogue well before the model itself went out of production. It is this internal timeline — not engine capacity alone — that determines which part fits a specific vehicle.

On the petrol side: the EP6 family gradually takes over from the older 5F units

The 1.6 VTi accounts for the greatest variety of codes: 5F01, 5FS, 5FW, 5PV represent the variants derived from the older PSA architecture, whilst EP6_5FW marks the adoption of the shared PSA-BMW block. The 1.6 THP, more powerful and turbocharged, is based solely on the code EP6DTS_5FY — a block that is structurally different from the 5F units and known for its specific lubrication requirements. The 1.4 VTi, meanwhile, exists only with the code 8FS: an entry-level power unit produced in limited numbers, often absent from mainstream catalogues.

On the diesel side: 1.6 HDi and 1.4 HDi — two very distinct DV6 architectures

The 1.6 HDi comes in three codes — DV6ATED4_9HX, NGDA, NGDB — corresponding to successive stages of DV6 block development over the model's lifetime. Moving from one variant to another is not mechanically straightforward: internal dimensions and mounting points can differ. The 1.4 HDi, rarer still, is limited to the codes F6JA et F6JB — an architecture entirely separate from the 1.6, with a smaller capacity and lower torque output, found almost exclusively on entry-level versions from the early years. Checking the code stamped on the block before placing any order remains the only reliable way to avoid a compatibility mismatch.
