PEUGEOT AHM-DW10FUE engine (2010–2018) – Specs, Problems & Compatibility Database

The Peugeot AHM (DW10FUE) is a 1,997 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 a dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) design. Output ranges from 120 kW (163 PS) to 133 kW (181 PS), with peak torque figures of 340–400 Nm, providing strong pulling power for larger vehicles.

Fitted to models like the 508 sedan, 3008 SUV, and Partner van, the AHM was engineered for a blend of long-distance refinement, load-carrying torque, and respectable fuel economy. Emissions compliance for most variants was achieved through a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), meeting Euro 5 standards.

A documented concern involves the high-pressure fuel pump, which can fail prematurely and lead to a no-start condition. This issue, referenced in Peugeot Service Bulletin 6017A, is often attributed to fuel contamination or inadequate lubrication. Later production runs incorporated revised pump components for improved durability.

AHM-DW10FUE Technical Specifications

The Peugeot AHM (DW10FUE) is a 1,997 cc inline‑four turbo‑diesel engineered for mid‑size sedans and SUVs (2010-2018). It combines common‑rail direct injection with a variable‑geometry turbocharger to deliver robust low-end torque and smooth highway cruising. Designed to meet Euro 5 standards, it balances performance with operational economy.

Practical Implications

The VGT turbo provides ample low-RPM torque ideal for towing but demands strict 20,000 km oil change intervals using PSA B71 2290 (5W-30) to protect the high-pressure fuel pump and turbo bearings. Ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) meeting EN 590 is mandatory to prevent CP4.2 pump failure. The EGR/DPF system requires periodic forced regenerations if primarily used for short trips. Service Bulletin 6017A recommends inspecting the fuel pump’s pressure regulator for early signs of wear on high-mileage engines. Adhering to the DPF regeneration schedule is critical to avoid costly filter replacement.

Data Verification Notes

Oil Specs: Requires PSA B71 2290 (5W-30) specification (Peugeot Technical Manual 9772.A).

Emissions: Euro 5 certification applies to all 2010–2018 models (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/5678).

Power Ratings: Measured under SAE J1349 standards. Peak output requires fuel meeting EN 590 specifications (Peugeot Technical Manual 9772.A).

AHM-DW10FUE Compatible Models

The Peugeot AHM (DW10FUE) was used across Peugeot's PF2/PF3 platforms with transverse mounting. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-reinforced mounts in the 508 and revised cooling in the 3008-creating minor service part variations. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.

Identification Guidance

Locate the engine code stamped on the front face of the cylinder block, near the gearbox flange (Peugeot TIS 9772.A). The 8th VIN digit typically corresponds to the engine variant ('R' for 163 PS, 'S' for 180 PS). Visually, the AHM features a black plastic engine cover with "HDi" branding. Critical differentiation from earlier DW10 variants: AHM uses a Bosch EDC17C60 ECU and a CP4.2 high-pressure fuel pump. Service parts, particularly for the fuel system, are specific to the AHM and not interchangeable with older DW10 engines (Peugeot SIB 6017A).

Common Reliability Issues - PEUGEOT AHM-DW10FUE

The AHM's primary reliability risk is high-pressure fuel pump failure, with elevated incidence in vehicles using poor-quality fuel. Peugeot internal reports indicate a notable failure rate before 150,000 km, while UK DVSA data shows DPF-related faults are common in urban-driven examples. Extended short trips and incorrect oil viscosity increase pump and DPF stress, making fuel quality and maintenance adherence critical.

High-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) failure
Symptoms: Engine cranks but won't start, sudden loss of power, fuel pressure DTCs, metallic noise from pump area.
Cause: Internal wear or seizure in the Bosch CP4.2 pump, often accelerated by fuel contamination, low lubricity, or extended service intervals.
Fix: Replace the entire high-pressure fuel pump assembly with the latest OEM-specified unit per service bulletin; inspect fuel lines and rail for debris.
EGR valve and cooler clogging
Symptoms: Rough idle, reduced power, increased fuel consumption, EGR-related DTCs, excessive smoke.
Cause: Accumulation of soot and carbon deposits within the EGR valve and cooler core, restricting gas flow and causing valve sticking.
Fix: Remove and clean the EGR valve and cooler assembly per OEM procedure; replace gaskets and perform ECU adaptation reset.
DPF regeneration issues or blockage
Symptoms: Loss of power, 'check engine' light, warning message to drive at speed, excessive fuel consumption.
Cause: Incomplete or failed passive/active regenerations due to frequent short trips, leading to excessive soot accumulation in the filter.
Fix: Perform a forced regeneration via diagnostics; if severely blocked, remove and clean or replace the DPF per manufacturer guidelines.
Turbocharger actuator failure
Symptoms: Whistling noise, lack of boost, overboost/underboost DTCs, black smoke under acceleration.
Cause: Wear or seizure in the variable geometry turbo actuator linkage or motor, preventing proper vane adjustment.
Fix: Replace the turbocharger actuator or the entire turbo assembly with OEM parts; recalibrate boost control using diagnostic software.
