Peugeot 301 Engines for Sale | Engine Finders

Engine Finders connects UK drivers with specialists for reliable, reconditioned Peugeot 301 replacement engines. Whether battling common DV4/DV6 diesel issues or EP3/EP6 petrol problems across the B7 platform, we provide direct OEM-spec solutions for all 301 variants.

Peugeot 301 Replacement Engines

The Peugeot 301 evolved through two generations on the B7 platform: initial launch (2012-2019) with EP3/EP6 petrol and DV4/DV6 diesel engines, followed by updated models (2019-2022) featuring PureTech and BlueHDi technology. All DV4 diesel variants (HDi 68-90) suffered EGR valve and turbocharger issues due to shared exhaust design, while EP3 petrol engines experienced timing chain problems across VTi 68-82 variants. The 2019 facelift introduced BlueHDi diesels with complex DPF/SCR systems that face regeneration issues regardless of power output, and PureTech engines with turbocharger vulnerabilities affecting both 82 and 110hp variants.

Peugeot 301 Models & Engines Codes

The 301 series features distinct engine families across two generations, with common failure patterns affecting entire powertrain groups rather than individual trims.

  • EP3 1.2L VTi: Petrol engines (B7, 2012-2019) - Timing chain tensioner failure across VTi 68/72/82 variants
  • EP6 1.6L VTi: Petrol engines (B7, 2012-2019) - Oil consumption issues in VTi 95/115 models
  • DV4 1.4L HDi: Diesel engines (B7, 2012-2019) - EGR valve and turbo problems in HDi 68/75/90 variants
  • DV6 1.6L HDi: Diesel engines (B7, 2012-2019) - DPF and injector issues in HDi 92/110/112 models
  • EP3C 1.2L PureTech: Turbo petrol engines (B7, 2019-2022) - Turbocharger problems in PureTech 82/110
  • DV4T 1.6L BlueHDi: Advanced diesel engines (B7, 2019-2022) - Complex emissions system failures

All 301 variants share the B7 platform architecture, meaning engine mounts, cooling systems, and electrical connections are consistent across the series regardless of engine type or trim level.

Buy Used and Second-Hand Peugeot 301 Engines

For 301 owners, used engines carry significant risk due to known failure patterns affecting entire engine families. Reconditioned units with updated components are essential for DV4/DV6 diesels suffering from EGR and DPF issues, while remanufactured EP3/EP6 petrol engines with improved timing systems offer better reliability than standard used units.

  • Used engines: High risk for DV4/DV6 diesels due to shared EGR/DPF vulnerabilities
  • Reconditioned engines: Updated EGR components and turbo systems for diesel variants
  • Remanufactured engines: Complete rebuilds with improved timing components for petrol units
  • New engines: Factory-fresh units with latest design improvements

All 301 engines undergo compatibility verification to ensure correct ECU mapping and physical fitment across all B7 platform variants.
