Peugeot 407 2008 2.0 engine EW10A
Engine reliability and common problems:
The Peugeot EW10A (RFJ) is a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine introduced in 2005 as an updated version of the older EW10J4, adapted to meet Euro 4 emissions standards. In general, the engine is considered fairly reliable and uncomplicated for its class, with relatively low repair costs and good overall durability when maintained properly.The most common complaints are related to oil consumption and oil leaks. Many engines begin to consume noticeable amounts of oil with mileage, sometimes reaching around 500–700 ml per 1,000 km. Oil leaks are also frequent, especially around the valve cover gasket and various seals. In most cases owners deal with this through regular gasket replacement and careful oil maintenance.
The engine is also quite sensitive to fuel quality. Poor gasoline quickly leads to dirty injectors, carbon buildup on spark plugs, and ignition coil failures. Because of this, using the correct octane fuel and avoiding low-quality gasoline is especially important for long-term reliability.
Another typical issue is unstable idle speed. This is usually caused by contamination in the throttle body or faults in the idle control system. In many cases the problem can be solved simply by cleaning the intake and throttle components or replacing a faulty sensor.
With higher mileage, owners often report knocking noises from the top of the engine. These sounds are commonly linked to hydraulic lifters, which are sensitive to oil quality and long service intervals. Switching to the correct oil specification and shortening oil change intervals often helps reduce the problem.
Strong vibrations are another known characteristic, particularly on older vehicles. In most cases this is caused by worn engine mounts rather than internal engine damage.
Despite these weaknesses, the EW10A is generally regarded as a durable and practical engine. It has a relatively simple design, is easy to repair, and spare parts remain widely available. According to many owners and mechanics, a well-maintained engine can comfortably exceed 300,000 km, and some examples reach 350,000–400,000 km before requiring major repairs. As with many naturally aspirated PSA engines, longevity depends heavily on regular servicing, good-quality oil, and proper fuel.
Overall, this engine can last around 290,000 to 490,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
The engine has hydraulic valve tappets (lifters), which provide quieter operation and do not require periodic adjustment, but are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in the event of failure.
