The Peugeot 9HP (DV6DTED) is a 1,560 cc, inline‑four turbo‑diesel engine produced between 2010 and 2018. It features a DOHC 16‑valve design with common rail direct injection and a variable‑geometry turbocharger. In standard applications, it delivers 88 kW (120 PS), engineered for refined efficiency and strong low‑end torque in compact vehicles.
Fitted primarily to the Peugeot 308, 3008, and Citroën C4 Picasso, the 9HP was designed for responsive urban driving and relaxed highway cruising. Emissions compliance for its production period was achieved through a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), meeting Euro 5 standards.
One documented reliability concern involves premature failure of the variable‑geometry turbocharger actuator, potentially leading to loss of boost or overboost conditions. This issue, referenced in Peugeot Service Bulletin 15BZ08, is often linked to carbon buildup or electrical faults. Later revisions saw updates to the actuator’s internal mechanism and control logic.
Production years 2010–2018 meet Euro 5 standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9012).
The Peugeot 9HP (DV6DTED) is a 1,560 cc inline‑four turbo‑diesel engineered for compact hatchbacks and MPVs (2010-2018). It combines common‑rail direct injection with a variable‑geometry turbocharger to deliver strong low‑rpm torque and efficient cruising. Designed to meet Euro 5 standards, it balances everyday performance with low emissions.

The variable-geometry turbo provides strong, responsive torque from low RPMs, ideal for city and highway driving. Strict adherence to 20,000 km oil change intervals with PSA B71 2312 (5W-30) low-SAPS oil is critical to protect the DPF and turbo actuator. The Bosch CP4 fuel system requires ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) to prevent pump wear. The front-mounted timing chain is generally robust but should be inspected if unusual noise is detected. The EGR and DPF systems require periodic cleaning to maintain performance and emissions compliance, especially in stop-start traffic.
Oil Specs: Requires PSA B71 2312 (5W-30) specification (Peugeot Owner's Manual). Equivalent to ACEA C2.
Emissions: Euro 5 certification applies to all 2010–2018 models (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9012).
Power Ratings: Measured under ECE R85 standards. Output is consistent across specified fuel quality (Peugeot TIS Doc. B41000).

The Peugeot 9HP (DV6DTED) was used across PSA Group's PF2 and EMP2 platforms with transverse mounting. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-reinforced mounts for the 3008 and specific ECU mapping for the C4 Picasso-creating minor interchange considerations. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on a plate riveted to the front of the cylinder block, near the timing cover (Peugeot TIS B40210). The 8th VIN digit typically corresponds to the engine code ('P' for 9HP). Visually, the engine is identifiable by its black plastic valve cover and the Honeywell variable-geometry turbo mounted at the front of the engine. Critical differentiation from the DV6C: The 9HP (DV6DTED) produces 120 PS and has specific ECU mapping; parts are not interchangeable without reprogramming.
The 9HP's primary reliability risk is variable-geometry turbo actuator failure, with elevated incidence in vehicles using poor-quality fuel or with high mileage. Peugeot service data indicates a notable number of replacements under warranty, while owner reports frequently cite loss of power or overboost warnings as precursors. Extended service intervals and contaminated fuel make adherence to the correct oil specification and fuel quality critical.
