The Peugeot DV6BTED4 (engine code 9HW) is a 1,560 cc, inline‑four turbo‑diesel engine produced between 2010 and 2018. It features a double overhead camshaft (DOHC), 16‑valve architecture with a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) and high‑pressure common‑rail direct injection. Peak output ranges from 73 kW (99 PS) to 84 kW (115 PS), with torque between 230–270 Nm, offering strong low‑rpm pull and urban efficiency.
Fitted to models such as the Peugeot 208, 2008, and 30…
All production years (2010–2018) meet Euro 5 standards . No Euro 6 variants exist under the DV6BTED4 designation.
The Peugeot DV6BTED4 (9HW) is a 1,560 cc inline‑four turbo‑diesel engineered for compact hatchbacks and SUVs (2010–2018). It combines DOHC valvetrain architecture with a variable-geometry turbocharger and common-rail injection to deliver responsive low-end torque and refined operation. Designed to meet Euro 5 emissions standards, it balances urban efficiency with drivability.

The Peugeot DV6BTED4 (9HW) was used across PSA Group's EMP1 and PF1 platforms with transverse mounting and shared with Citroën and DS. This engine received platform-specific adaptations—revised engine mounts in the 2008 and modified airboxes in the 308 II—and from mid‑2013 the updated camshaft and pump couplings created minor 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 DV6BTED4 is generally robust if maintained correctly. Early units (pre-mid-2013) are susceptible to cam lobe wear, but later revisions improved durability. Using correct low-SAPS oil (ACEA C2/C3), adhering to service intervals, and avoiding frequent short trips greatly enhance longevity.
Top issues include camshaft lobe wear driving the fuel pump, DPF clogging due to urban driving, EGR cooler leaks, and timing chain tensioner wear. These are documented in PSA service bulletins SI‑12‑08 and TIS updates from 2013–2015.
Primarily the Peugeot 208 (2012–2018), 2008 (2013–2018), and 308 II (2013–2018) in 1.6 BlueHDi 100/120 variants. It was also used in Citroën C3/C4 Cactus and DS 3 under the same BlueHDi branding during the same period.
Aftermarket ECU tuning is common on the 9HW-DV6BTED4 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: ~4.2 L/100km (city) and ~3.4 L/100km (highway), or 67–83 mpg UK combined. Real-world figures depend heavily on driving style and DPF regeneration cycles—consistent highway use optimizes economy.
Yes. The DV6BTED4 is an interference engine. If the timing chain fails or jumps, pistons can contact open valves, causing severe internal damage. Prompt attention to chain rattle or timing faults is essential.
PSA specifies 5W‑30 synthetic oil meeting ACEA C2/C3 and PSA B71 2312 standards. This low-SAPS formulation protects the DPF and ensures proper lubrication of the cam-driven fuel pump. Change every 20,000 km or annually.
