From 2001 to 2013, a French plant produced the 1.1-liter Peugeot TU1JP engine, which was found in the great majority of the group’s mass-market small cars. A carburetor and mono-injection engine with the TU1K and TU1M indices were part of the TU1 family.
TU1JP, TU3K, TU3JP, TU3A, TU5JP, and TU5JP4 are engines belonging to the TU family.
The engine was mounted on:
- Peugeot 106 I (S1/S2) in 2001- 2003;
- Peugeot 206 I (T1) in 2001- 2005;
- Citroen C2 in 2003 – 2009;
- Citroen C3 I in 2002 – 2009; C3 II in 2009 – 2013;
- Citroen Saxo in 2001 – 2004.

Disadvantages of the TU1JP engine
The ignition system and sensor malfunctions are the primary causes of the issues;
Because the throttle and idle speed controller are contaminated, engine speed frequently floats;
Oil consumption starts when valve stem seals are tanned due to overheating;
Strong knocks from under the hood indicate an early adjustment of valve clearances; the timing belt serves no more than 90,000 km; when it breaks, the valves nearly always bend.
