The Peugeot DV6ATED4 is a 1,560 cc, inline‑four turbo‑diesel engine produced between 2010 and 2015. It features a dual overhead camshaft (DOHC), 16‑valve architecture, and high‑pressure common‑rail direct injection (Bosch CP4.2). Output is rated at 84 kW (115 PS) with 270 Nm of torque, engineered for strong low‑end pull and compliance with stringent emissions standards.
Fitted to models such as the Peugeot 308 (T9), 508 (XN1TACP), and Partner Tepee, the DV6ATED4 was d…
All production years (2010–2015) meet Euro 5 standards .
The Peugeot DV6ATED4 is a 1,560 cc inline‑four turbo‑diesel engine engineered for compact and mid‑size models (2010–2015). It combines DOHC 16‑valve architecture with Bosch CP4.2 common‑rail injection to deliver strong low‑rpm torque and refined operation. Designed to meet Euro 5 from launch, it balances performance with emissions compliance and fuel efficiency.

The Peugeot DV6ATED4 was used across Peugeot's T9/XN1TACP platforms with transverse mounting and shared with Citroën for badge-engineered variants. This engine received platform-specific calibrations—revised ECU maps in the 508 RXH and modified exhaust routing in the 308 SW—but retained full mechanical interchangeability across all variants. Partnerships allowed Citroën C5 and DS5 models to use identical DV6 variants. 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 DV6ATED4 is generally dependable when maintained properly. Early units (pre-late-2012) had HPFP lubricity issues, resolved by updated pump design. Key to longevity is using EN 590 diesel with verified lubricity and adhering to 15,000 km oil changes with PSA 9730.B2 5W‑30 oil. Neglect leads to fuel system or emissions faults.
Top issues include HPFP failure (early builds), DPF clogging from short trips, EGR valve fouling, and cam cover oil leaks. These are documented in PSA service bulletins and UK MOT data. Regular oil changes, quality diesel, and occasional highway driving mitigate most risks effectively.
Primarily the Peugeot 508 (XN1TACP, 2010–2015) in 1.6 HDi 115 form. Also used in the 308 (T9), Partner Tepee, and Citroën C5/DS5 during the same period. All are transverse-mounted 1.6L turbo-diesel units meeting Euro 5 emissions standards.
Aftermarket ECU tuning is common on the 170D-XN1TACP 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.
Excellent for its class. In a Peugeot 508 1.6 HDi 115, expect ~5.2 L/100km (city) and ~3.8 L/100km (highway), or ~55–62 mpg UK combined. Real-world economy depends on driving style and DPF regeneration cycles, but well-maintained examples consistently achieve 55+ mpg UK.
Yes. The DV6ATED4 is an interference design. If the timing chain were to fail (extremely rare due to maintenance‑free design), pistons could contact open valves, causing internal damage. However, the chain is engineered for life-of-engine service under proper oil maintenance.
PSA specifies 5W‑30 full synthetic oil meeting PSA 9730.B2 standard. This is critical for chain lubrication, turbo bearing protection, and DPF compatibility. Change every 15,000 km or annually. Avoid non-compliant oils, as they increase HPFP and chain wear risk.
