Peugeot XV, XW, XY, XU, TU Service Manual

If you’ve ever trusted a generic manual for a Peugeot engine job and found yourself with a stripped bolt or a leak after startup, you know the cost of bad specs. This Peugeot XV, XW, XY, XU, TU Service Manual is 233 pages of factory-original data from Peugeot’s own service department. No aftermarket reinterpretation, no missing torque values. You get the exact procedure Peugeot trained their dealers to use.

Peugeot XV, XW, XY, XU, TU Service Manual: What’s Inside

Opening this manual puts Chapter 1 – Routine maintenance and servicing – on the bench first. It lists everything from engine oil and filter renewal (page 3) to a full road test (page 30). You’ll see a degree-of-difficulty icon next to each task, so you know before you start if you should hand it off to a pro. The manual covers the XV, XW, XY, XU, and TU engine families. Capacities are listed per engine: XV and XW take 4.5 litres of engine oil including filter; XY and XU take 5.0 litres; TU takes 3.5 litres. Cooling system capacities vary by engine and transmission type — XU engines with automatic transmission hold 6.7 litres, TU1 Van models only 5.8 litres. These are the numbers you need, not guesses.

23 Scheduled Maintenance Items

Chapter 1 breaks down 34 numbered service operations, but the core schedule covers 23 distinct checks and renewals that Peugeot expects at regular intervals. You get front brake pad check (page 4), automatic transmission fluid level check (page 5), spark plug renewal (page 7), throttle and choke cable lubrication (page 8), auxiliary drivebelt inspection (page 9), clutch pedal stroke adjustment (page 10), rear brake shoe check for drum brakes (page 13), rear pad condition for disc brakes (page 14), handbrake check and adjustment (page 15), underbody fuel and brake line inspection (page 16), exhaust system check (page 17), headlight beam alignment (page 19), air conditioning check (page 20), manual transmission oil level (page 21) and renewal (page 22), driveshaft bellows check (page 24), steering and suspension check (page 25), air cleaner renewal (page 26), ignition system check (page 27), idle speed and mixture adjustment (page 28), emissions control check (page 29), timing belt renewal (page 31), fuel filter renewal for injection models (page 32), coolant renewal (page 33), and brake fluid renewal (page 34). That’s the factory schedule — not a shortened aftermarket version.

Engine Oil Capacities and Filter Part Numbers

For XV and XW engines, the oil filter is Champion C204. For XU and TU series engines, the filter part number is listed but the OCR cut off — you’ll find it in the Servicing Specifications section. Oil capacities: XV/XW 4.5 litres, XY/XU 5.0 litres, TU 3.5 litres. Automatic transmission dry fill is 6.2 litres, drain and refill 2.4 litres. Manual transmission holds 2.0 litres. Fuel tank holds 50 litres. These specs are on page 1-2 of the manual, not buried in an appendix.

Is This Manual Good for Transmission Work?

Yes. The manual covers both manual and automatic transmissions. You get fluid level checks, fluid renewal procedures, and clutch pedal stroke adjustment. For automatics, the procedure includes draining and refilling. For manuals, oil level check and oil renewal are separate items. If you’re working on a Peugeot with any of these engine families, the transmission data is factory-original. I’ve seen aftermarket manuals skip the automatic transmission fluid renewal step — this one includes it on page 23.

Factory Documentation vs Aftermarket Reprints

Aftermarket manuals often reprint data from earlier editions or combine multiple models into one generic procedure. This manual is a direct scan of the Peugeot factory service publication. The torque specs, fluid capacities, and safety warnings are what Peugeot issued to their dealers. If you’re serious about keeping your Peugeot on the road without comebacks, you want the original. Check out the Peugeot Engine Series Service Manual for additional engine-specific data. For later models, see the Peugeot 405 1996 Service Manual – Factory Repair Data for Petrol Models or the Peugeot 405 1996 Service and Repair Manual.

You get the original safety warnings, part numbers, and adjustment specs that dealers received. No shortcuts, no guesswork — just the factory file.
