From 2010 to 2015, the 1.6-liter Peugeot EP6CDTX, also known as the THP 200 engine, was assembled in Duvrin and fitted to sports versions of several mass models manufactured by the French company. This motor is available in two slightly different versions under the indices 5FB and 5FU.
The Prince family of turbo engines includes the EP6DT, EP6DTS, EP6CDT, EP6CDTM, EP6CDTR, EP6CDTX, EP6FDT, EP6FDTM, and EP6FDTR.

Disadvantages of the EP6CDTX engine
The quality of the fuel and oil used in this turbine unit is very important;
Accelerated carbon formation is linked to numerous issues, particularly with valves;
Engine coking is almost always followed by a progressive oil burner;
A thin timing chain is frequently stretched to a distance of 80,000–100,000 kilometers;
Even after 50,000 kilometers, the pump drive’s electromagnetic clutch may fail;
The state of the oil channels affects the phase control system’s performance;
the reason why bad gasoline causes the high-pressure fuel pump and other fuel system components to fail.
