Camshaft Phaser Peugeot OEM Supplier: Sourcing Guide
For Peugeot programs, a camshaft phaser has to match more than the visible sprocket. Buyers need confirmation of engine code, intake or exhaust position, phasing range, locking logic, and the oil control interface before the part is released to stock or fitted into a kit. Small differences across model years can change the vane count or stop angle, so catalog-only selection is not enough for procurement.
Driventus supports B2B sourcing with drawing-based control, export packing, and document packs for audit review. We work to IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 processes, and we can align material declarations to REACH (EC) No 1907/2006 when required. Driventus is an independent aftermarket manufacturer; brand names are referenced for fitment only.
What Peugeot buyers should verify first
A Peugeot camshaft phaser is usually specified by the engine code first and the appearance second. The same outer design can cover different valve-train calibrations, so procurement should verify the application before price comparison.
Start with these items:
- engine code and vehicle platform
- intake or exhaust position
- OE reference or sample part
- locking position and phasing range
- oil port orientation and connector style, if integrated
If the application crosses multiple model years, ask for teardown photos or a master sample before you approve the order. For drawings, related parts, and packaging options, see our catalog and engine components.
Fitment control for Peugeot applications
Fitment errors usually come from internal differences, not the visible housing. A phaser that looks correct can still fail if the vane count, stop angle, rotor offset, or lock-pin position does not match the target engine.
The safest sourcing process is: 1. confirm the OE reference and engine code 2. verify whether the part is for the intake or exhaust cam 3. compare the sample against the drawing set 4. check the locking state, rotation range, and indexing points 5. release a pilot lot before volume supply
If the programme needs a private-label box, bar-code label, or kit mix, use custom manufacturing rather than treating packaging as an afterthought.
Technical specification checklist
The procurement file should define the parts that affect timing accuracy, oil control, and durability. For a camshaft phaser, the minimum checklist normally includes critical dimensions, material specification, surface protection, and functional response.
| Check | Procurement target | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Critical dimensions | Match the approved drawing and sample | Controls interchangeability and timing accuracy |
| Materials | Housing, rotor, and fasteners per spec | Affects wear, response, and service life |
| Functional response | Lock, unlock, and phase movement within the agreed window | Reduces rattle and cold-start noise |
| Cleanliness | Flushed oil passages and controlled particulate levels | Protects the oil control circuit |
| Surface protection | Corrosion inhibitor, VCI, or sealed pack | Supports ocean freight and storage |
| Traceability | Lot code, batch record, and packing ID | Supports claims and audits |
| Supply route | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Stock release | Reorder programmes and urgent service parts | Lowest flexibility on labels or packs |
| Build-to-order | Mixed Peugeot engine codes or lower-turn SKUs | Longer lead time than stock |
| Custom kit or private label | Distributors and regional programmes | Extra approval step for artwork and pack spec |
