The Peugeot 9HY (DV6TED4) is a 1,560 cc, inline‑four turbo‑diesel engine produced between 2010 and 2015. It features a 16‑valve DOHC layout, common rail direct injection, and a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT), delivering 82 kW (112 PS) and 270 Nm of torque. This compact unit was designed for efficiency and responsive low‑end performance in Peugeot's global small car lineup.
Fitted to models such as the 207, 308, and Partner Tepee, the 9HY was engineered for urban agility and fuel economy, offering strong torque from low revs for relaxed driving. Emissions compliance for its production period was achieved through a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), enabling adherence to the Euro 5 standard across its core European markets.
A documented reliability concern involves premature failure of the high-pressure fuel pump, potentially leading to sudden engine cut-out. This issue, referenced in PSA Group Service Bulletin 11B008, is often attributed to fuel contamination or inadequate lubrication. The pump design was revised in later production runs to improve durability.

Production years 2010–2015 meet Euro 5 standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/PSA/9HY).
The Peugeot 9HY (DV6TED4) is a 1,560 cc inline‑four turbo‑diesel engineered for compact cars (2010-2015). It combines common‑rail direct injection with a variable‑geometry turbocharger to deliver strong low‑end torque and high fuel efficiency. Designed to meet Euro 5 standards, it balances urban drivability with low emissions.

The VGT turbo provides strong low-RPM torque ideal for city driving but demands strict 20,000 km or annual oil changes to prevent chain wear. PSA B71 2290 (5W-40) oil is critical for turbo and emissions system longevity. The Bosch fuel system requires ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) meeting EN 590 standards. The high-pressure fuel pump is susceptible to failure; monitor for starting issues or power loss and replace per PSA SIB 11B008 if symptoms appear. The DPF system requires regular highway driving for passive regeneration.
Oil Specs: Requires PSA B71 2290 specification (PSA Service Schedule). Equivalent to ACEA B4.
Emissions: Euro 5 certification applies to all 2010–2015 models (VCA Type Approval #VCA/PSA/9HY).
Power Ratings: Measured under ECE R85 standards. Output is consistent across model range (PSA Group PT-2012).

The Peugeot 9HY (DV6TED4) was used across Peugeot's PF2 platform with transverse mounting. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-reinforced mounts in the Partner Tepee-and no significant facelift revisions occurred during its production run, ensuring broad parts compatibility. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on the flat machined surface at the front of the cylinder block, near the gearbox flange (PSA Repair Manual 9HY). The 8th digit of the VIN is 'Q' for this 1.6 HDi 112 engine variant. Visually, it can be identified by its black plastic rocker cover and the Honeywell VGT turbocharger mounted at the front. Critical differentiation from the later DV6DTED: The 9HY uses a Bosch fuel system and meets Euro 5, while the DV6DTED is Euro 6 compliant with Denso components. Service parts, particularly the fuel pump and injectors, are specific to the 9HY and not interchangeable with other DV6 variants without verification.
The 9HY's primary reliability risk is high-pressure fuel pump failure, with elevated incidence in vehicles using poor-quality fuel. PSA internal data indicated a notable failure rate before 120,000 km in affected batches, while owner reports frequently cite sudden engine cut-outs. Fuel contamination and infrequent oil changes increase pump stress, making fuel quality and adherence to service schedules critical.
Analysis derived from PSA technical bulletins (2010-2015) and owner-reported failure data (2015-2023). Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
