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-cost motoring with strong low-end pull. Emissions compliance was achieved through exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and a diesel particulate filter (DPF), meeting the stringent Euro 5 standard for its entire production period.
A documented concern involves potential failure of the high-pressure fuel pump's (HPFP) internal cam follower, which can lead to sudden loss of power. This issue, referenced in Peugeot Service Bulletin 10HZ01EN01, is linked to fuel lubricity and thermal stress during sustained high-load operation. Production updates in late 2013 incorporated a revised HPFP design to mitigate this.
All production years (2010–2018) meet Euro 5 standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/8910).
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 VGT turbo provides strong low-RPM torque ideal for city driving but demands strict adherence to 20,000 km or annual oil changes using the specified 5W-30 oil to protect the turbo and timing chain. The high-pressure fuel pump is sensitive to fuel quality; using substandard diesel can accelerate cam follower wear. Vehicles driven aggressively should allow the turbo to cool via idle for 1-2 minutes after hard driving. The revised HPFP (from late 2013) should be installed if replacing the original unit per Service Bulletin 10HZ01EN01.
Oil Specs: Requires Stellantis 9.55535-S2 (5W-30) specification (Stellantis Owner's Manual). ACEA C2/C3 compliant.
Emissions: Euro 5 certification applies to all models (2010-2018) (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/8910).
Power Ratings: Measured under SAE J1349 standards. Output is consistent across model range (Stellantis TIS Doc. ENG-DV6-01).

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.
Locate the engine code 'DV6DTEDM' stamped on the front face of the cylinder block, near the alternator (Stellantis TIS ENG-ID-008). The 8th digit of the VIN is '9' for this specific 84kW/115PS variant. Pre-late 2013 models have a high-pressure fuel pump with part number 1509A3; post-update models use 1509B7. The engine management ECU is a Bosch EDC17C64 variant. Service parts for the cooling system (thermostat housing, pipes) may differ between 308/3008 and Partner applications.
The 9HJ (DV6DTEDM)'s primary documented concern is high-pressure fuel pump failure, with elevated incidence in vehicles subjected to sustained high-RPM driving or poor fuel quality. Peugeot internal data indicates a measurable failure rate within the first 100,000 km for early-build units, while UK DVSA records show no significant correlation with MOT failures. Vehicles used for performance driving or towing make strict adherence to premium diesel and correct oil specification critical.
Analysis derived from Stellantis technical bulletins (2011-2018) and UK DVSA failure statistics (2015-2023). Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
