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 308 (Phase II), the DV6BTED4 was engineered for compact and subcompact applications requiring fuel economy, refinement, and compliance with tightening emissions standards. Emissions control is achieved through cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), and a diesel particulate filter (DPF), enabling Euro 5 compliance across all production years.
One documented concern is premature wear of the high-pressure fuel pump drive lobe on the camshaft, which can lead to fuel delivery instability. This issue, highlighted in PSA Group Service Information Bulletin SI‑12‑08, is attributed to marginal surface hardening in early production camshafts. From mid‑2013 onward, revised camshaft metallurgy and updated pump couplings reduced incidence in later builds.
All production years (2010–2018) meet Euro 5 standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9876). 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 DOHC layout and VGT turbo provide smooth, responsive performance ideal for city and motorway use but require strict adherence to 20,000 km oil change intervals to protect the high-pressure fuel pump and camshaft lobes. ACEA C2/C3 (PSA B71 2312) low-SAPS oil is critical to prevent DPF clogging and ensure proper lubrication of the cam-driven CP4.2 pump. Cold-start idling should be minimized to reduce soot accumulation. Engines built before mid-2013 are susceptible to cam lobe wear per PSA SI‑12‑08; inspect fuel pressure stability during diagnostics. Use only ultra-low-sulfur diesel (EN 590) to avoid pump seizure.
Oil Specs: Requires ACEA C2/C3, PSA B71 2312 (5W‑30) specification (PSA Owner’s Handbook 208, 2012).
Emissions: Euro 5 certification applies to all model years (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9876). No Euro 6 variants exist under DV6BTED4.

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.
Locate the engine code stamped on the front face of the block near the timing cover (PSA TIS M24‑511). The 8th VIN digit indicates engine family ('H' for DV6BTED4). Visual identification: black plastic valve cover with “BlueHDi” branding, Bosch CP4.2 high-pressure pump driven off the exhaust camshaft, and integrated DPF in the exhaust manifold. Critical differentiation from DV6ATED4 (1.6 HDi non-BlueHDi): DV6BTED4 includes a DOC upstream of the DPF and uses a different ECU calibration. Always verify camshaft casting number 96582300 for pre-2013 units.
The DV6BTED4's primary reliability risk is camshaft lobe wear driving the high-pressure fuel pump in pre-mid-2013 builds, with elevated incidence in vehicles subjected to frequent short trips or poor-quality diesel. PSA internal quality reports from 2014 noted measurable cam wear before 100,000 km in urban fleets, while UK DVSA MOT data shows DPF-related failures as a common cause of test rejection. Extended oil intervals and low-SAPS oil non-compliance accelerate wear, making oil specification and service discipline critical.
