Which vehicles does this cover?
The DV5 1.5 diesel engine is shared across the Stellantis (Peugeot, Citroën, Vauxhall, DS) range and also used under license by Toyota. If your vehicle is fitted with this engine and still has the original 7mm camshaft chain system, this upgrade applies.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the DV5 1.5 camshaft chain upgrade cost?

Why does the camshaft chain need upgrading?
The original 7mm camshaft chain system fitted to many DV5 1.5 diesel engines is a known weak point that can wear, stretch and potentially fail. The revised 8mm chain system addresses this, fitted along with the modified camshaft carrier and new camshafts it requires.
