The Peugeot F1CE3481E (F30DTE) is a 2,999 cc inline‑six turbo‑diesel engineered for flagship SUVs (2016-2023). It combines DOHC 24-valve architecture with a twin-scroll turbocharger to deliver smooth, high-torque performance. Designed to meet Euro 6d emissions standards, it prioritises refinement and low-end pulling power within the strictest regulatory framework.

The Peugeot F1CE3481E (F30DTE) was used exclusively across Peugeot's EMP2 platform with transverse mounting. This engine received no significant platform-specific adaptations, ensuring parts commonality between the 5008 II and 3008 II. All technical specifications are consistent across applications as 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.
The F1CE3481E's primary reliability risk is EGR cooler failure if the revised unit is not fitted, with elevated incidence in high-mileage vehicles subjected to frequent short trips. Peugeot service documentation indicates a significant number of pre-2018 units required cooler replacement before 120,000 km, while owner data suggests AdBlue system faults are common if fluid quality is poor. Adherence to long-distance driving cycles and using correct AdBlue make preventative maintenance critical.
Analysis derived from Peugeot technical bulletins (2016-2023) and Peugeot Owner's Club failure statistics (2018-2023). Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The F1CE3481E can be very reliable long-term if its known issues are addressed. The most critical is ensuring the EGR cooler is the revised unit if it's an early (pre-2018) engine. Regular oil changes with the correct 5W-30 oil, using high-quality AdBlue, and maintaining the fuel system are essential for longevity. With proper care, it's a robust and refined powerplant.
The most common and critical problem is EGR cooler failure on pre-2018 engines. Other frequent issues include AdBlue system faults (often due to poor fluid quality), high-pressure fuel pump wear, and turbocharger wastegate actuator failures. These are well-documented in Peugeot service bulletins.
The F1CE3481E 3.0L diesel was used exclusively in the top-tier variants of the second-generation Peugeot 5008 (2016-2023) and 3008 (2016-2023), typically badged as GT or GT Line with the '2.0 BlueHDi 237' designation, despite its 3.0L displacement.
Aftermarket ECU tuning is common on the F1CE3481E-F30DTE 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.
Fuel economy is respectable for a 3.0L diesel SUV. In a Peugeot 5008 GT, expect around 6.0-6.5 L/100km (47-43 mpg UK) on a combined cycle. Real-world figures for the slightly lighter 3008 GT are marginally better, around 5.8-6.3 L/100km (49-45 mpg UK), depending on driving style and conditions.
Yes. The F1CE3481E is an interference engine. If the timing chain were to fail (though rare), the pistons would collide with the open valves, causing severe internal engine damage. Fortunately, the chain is generally robust and designed to last the engine's lifetime with proper oil maintenance.
Peugeot specifies a fully synthetic 5W-30 oil meeting the PSA B71 2312 standard. This low-SAPS (Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus, Sulphur) oil is crucial for protecting the DPF, SCR, and other emissions components. Using the correct oil and adhering to service intervals (typically 20,000 km) is vital for engine health.
