The Peugeot 9HJ (DV6DTEDM) is a 1,560 cc, inline‑four turbo‑diesel engine produced between 2010 and 2018. It features a high — pressure common — rail fuel system, a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT), and dual overhead camshafts (DOHC). In standard tune, it produces 84 kW (115 PS) and 270 Nm of torque, offering a compelling blend of efficiency and urban drivability.
Fitted to compact models like the 308 II, 3008 I, and Partner, the 9HJ was engineered for responsive, low — c…
All production years (2010–2018) meet Euro 5 standards .
The Peugeot 9HJ (DV6DTEDM) is a 1,560 cc inline‑four turbo‑diesel engineered for compact hatchbacks and crossovers (2010-2018). It combines high-pressure common-rail injection with a single variable-geometry turbocharger to deliver strong, flexible torque and class-leading fuel economy. Designed to meet Euro 5 standards, it balances everyday practicality with low running costs.

The Peugeot 9HJ (DV6DTEDM) was used across Peugeot's PF2 and EMP2 platforms with transverse mounting. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-reinforced engine mounts for the 3008 and a unique intake manifold for the Partner-and from late 2013 the updated HPFP, creating minor part number differences. 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 9HJ is generally a robust and economical engine. Its main known issue is HPFP failure on early models (pre-late 2013), which was revised. With the updated pump, strict adherence to high-quality diesel and correct 5W-30 oil changes, it can be very reliable for high mileage.
The most documented issue is high-pressure fuel pump failure. Other common concerns include DPF regeneration problems from short trips, EGR valve clogging, and turbo actuator faults. These are covered in official Peugeot service bulletins.
This 1.6L diesel engine was used in the second-generation 308 (2013-2018), first-generation 3008 (2010-2016), and the third-phase Partner van/MPV (2012-2018). It was typically found in mid-range trim levels like Active and Allure.
Aftermarket ECU tuning is common on the 9HJDV6DTEDM 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.
Official combined figures are around 4.5-5.0 L/100km (56-63 mpg UK) for a 308 Active. Real-world mixed driving typically yields 5.5-7.0 L/100km (40-51 mpg UK), with highway driving potentially achieving under 4.5 L/100km (63+ mpg UK).
Yes. Like virtually all modern engines, the 9HJ is an interference design. If the timing chain were to fail, the pistons would collide with the valves, causing catastrophic engine damage. Fortunately, the chain is very durable with proper maintenance.
It requires a specific 5W-30 low-SAPS (low ash) synthetic oil meeting the Stellantis 9.55535-S2 specification. Using the correct oil is critical for protecting the DPF and turbocharger. Change intervals are typically 20,000 km or annually.
Comprehensive technical documentation and regulatory references
EngineCode.uk is operated by Engine Finders UK Ltd. It provides engine-reference information and an optional commercial enquiry service. It is not an official manufacturer website. Check the record's sources and confirm vehicle-specific details before relying on it for parts, repairs or replacement.
Our editorial standard prioritises relevant manufacturer documentation and official regulatory sources. The sources and verification status for a record should be checked alongside the data.
A statement is not verified merely because a source is listed. Where supporting evidence is missing or conflicting, the record should identify that limitation. Please report unsupported or inconsistent information.
