Engine identification

[Vanterrier]

I recently bought a 2008 Autosleeper Symbol on a Peugeot Boxer 333 MWB with a 2198cc engine. I am struggling to find out which 2.2 engine it is.
A 5 speed box suggests it's a 100hp
The front and centre position of the dipstick suggests its a 120hp.
Google searches based on
Engine number = TRJ101*****
and
VIN = VF3YBAMFB********
Have so far have been conflicting, I've not paid for any search so far.
Can anyone shed some light on how I can identify the engine physically or via those numbers.
Thanks

I would ask the parts department of a peugeot main agent for the price of "front brake pads" then say " by the way, is this a 120hp engine"

Look on the slam panel date plate, it will give the type on there.

Chat GPT says:-


Your engine number TRJ101, especially when combined with VIN VF3YBAMFB…, indicates you've got a Peugeot Boxer with a 2.2 HDi 2198 cc “Multijet” engine bearing the engine code 10TRJ (sometimes seen as 10TRJ1). This is the Fiat/PSA 2.2 Multijet, not the older DW12 design.

There's no info on the plate on the slam panel mate, just weights
One clue appears to be a label on an engine mount which shows "Puma" - so it's the Ford engine. I should be able to decide from that, I hope...

From another forum...
"
The 2.2 is made by Ford/Peugeot. Fitted to a Fiat vehicle it is only available at 100hp at Euro 4

It has a cam chain. It also has a dual mass flywheel. 5 speed gearbox."

But Google AI overview says

The 2008 Peugeot Boxer, with a 2198cc engine, utilizes a Ford-derived "Puma" diesel engine. This engine is a 2.2-liter 16-valve unit, known for its power and efficiency. Specifically, it's the 2.2 HDi 120hp version, which was common in the Boxer from 2006 to 2011.

More conflicting information...

Puma is what I have, its chain driven with dipstick on front. 2.2 Ford engine.
I'm sure in my docs it says 100 hp multijet. 07 plate.
My father in law had a vauxhall monrovia or whatever there called with same engine, it broke the chain and then after it was fixed ran the crank bearings about 500 miles later - always on the back of my mind whilst driving it.

But dont worry, it's a popular engine in commercial vehicles and normally they seem to be pretty bomb proof, there must be thousands of them out there and like most things your only going to hear about the problem ones.
I think so long as you keep your oil clean and drive it sensibly you should be ok.

My selfbuild and the van we have now has the Puma engine, sweet and anything, miles better than any Jtd 2.8.

 

[Vanterrier]

It's the Puma 100hp Euro4 2198cc with camchain engine coupled to a 5 speed box.

I can order filters etc with confidence now

Thanks for all pointers

The puma ford engine has a week oil pump and many engine blow up big time, there is now a pump upgrade, get one fitted or sell the van pronto.

I wouldn't worry, from all the historic info on internet I can find the recall only applied to 11 and 12 plate vehicles due to low oil pressure caused by faulty oil pumps.
Earlier and later engines dont seem to be any problem.
I'm not worrying anyway.

Mine even at 150k + was rock solid, the only issue I had a were a crank sensor, major job to sort out, and the crankshaft pulley deciding to split and turn itself into a hole saw, it did that again after I had sold it, it seem it only has three spot welds holding the two halves together, shit design on a cheap component, luckily I decided to check the oil, I had plenty but it was covering everythng under the bonnet, recovery needed.


Still going strong, I jsut checked the history and it's only failed on minor stuff like lights.
