The Citroen 4HV (P22DTE) is a 2,179 cc, inline — four turbo — diesel engine produced between 2011 and 2018. It forms part of the PSA DW12 family, widely used across Peugeot, Citroën, and DS models, featuring common rail direct injection, variable geometry turbocharging (VGT), and dual overhead camshafts (DOHC). In standard tune, it delivers 120 kW (163 PS) with peak torque of 370 Nm, providing strong mid — range performance for larger passenger and commercial vehicles.

Production years 2011–2018 meet Euro 5 standards .
The Citroen P22DTE is a 2,179 cc inline-four turbo-diesel engineered for executive and commercial applications (2011–2018). It combines common-rail direct injection with a variable-geometry turbocharger and SCR-based aftertreatment to deliver strong mid-range torque and low CO₂ emissions. Designed to meet Euro 5 standards, it balances performance with efficiency in larger vehicle platforms.

The Citroen P22DTE was used across Citroen's C5/C6/Jumpy platforms with longitudinal mounting and shared within the PSA Group for transverse applications in commercial variants. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-shorter intake manifolds in the Jumpy and revised EGR cooling in the C6-and from 2014 the updated fuel pump calibration improved reliability, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
Diagnostic reminder: If a technician has recommended replacing the engine, you can send an enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. Confirm the diagnosis first: an engine-code record does not diagnose a fault.
Field reports and technical service bulletins highlight component wear patterns under high-load operation. Adherence to manufacturer service intervals and approved fluid specifications is critical for long-term reliability.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The P22DTE offers strong performance and refinement, but early models (2011–2013) had reliability concerns, particularly HPFP failures. Later revisions (post-2014) improved pump durability and fuel filtration. Well-maintained engines with regular oil changes and quality diesel can exceed 250,000 km. AdBlue and DPF systems require consistent longer runs to remain reliable.
The most documented issues are high-pressure fuel pump failure, EGR and intake carbon buildup, AdBlue/SCR system faults, and timing belt degradation. These are covered in PSA service bulletins. Fuel quality, oil changes, and adherence to service intervals are critical to preventing these failures in long-term ownership.
The P22DTE was used in the Citroën C5 (2011–2017), C6 (2011–2012), and Jumpy (2011–2018). It was also shared across PSA Group models including the Peugeot 508 and Expert. All variants are Euro 5 compliant and feature SCR with AdBlue injection for emissions control.
Aftermarket ECU tuning is common on the 4HV-P22DTE platform, but increasing boost or altering engine parameters accelerates component wear, impacts emissions compliance, and may void vehicle warranties. Any modifications should be evaluated carefully by a qualified specialist.
In a Citroën C5 2.2 HDi, combined fuel consumption is approximately 6.1 L/100 km (~46 mpg UK). Highway efficiency improves to ~5.3 L/100 km (~53 mpg UK). Real-world economy depends on driving style and load, but expect 45–50 mpg UK in mixed conditions for a well-maintained vehicle.
Yes, the P22DTE is an interference engine. If the timing belt fails or jumps, pistons can collide with open valves, resulting in severe internal damage. The belt must be replaced every 150,000 km or 10 years—whichever comes first. Any sign of belt wear or tensioner noise should be addressed immediately.
PSA specifies 5W-30 oil meeting PSA B71 2290 specification. This synthetic oil is formulated for diesel engines with particulate filters and high-pressure fuel systems. Oil changes should be performed every 15,000 km or annually to ensure turbo and fuel pump longevity and maintain emissions system efficiency.
