The Peugeot DT17TED4 is a 1,560 cc, inline‑four turbo‑diesel engine produced between 2010 and 2018. It features an aluminium block and head, double overhead camshafts (DOHC), and a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT). This engine delivered 82 kW (112 PS) and 270 Nm of torque, engineered for efficiency and strong low-end pull in Peugeot's compact and mid-size vehicles.
Fitted to models like the 308, 3008, and 5008, the DT17TED4 was designed for drivers prioritising fuel economy and relaxed urban drivability. Emissions compliance was achieved through a high-pressure common-rail injection system, a diesel particulate filter (DPF), and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), meeting Euro 5 standards for its production period.
One documented engineering update addressed potential failure of the high-pressure fuel pump drive shaft, identified in Peugeot Technical Note 10B05. This issue, linked to material fatigue under high load, could lead to sudden engine cut-out. Peugeot implemented a revised, reinforced drive shaft from mid-2012 to improve component longevity.
Production years 2010–2018 meet Euro 5 standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9876).
The Peugeot DT17TED4 is a 1,560 cc inline‑four turbo‑diesel engineered for compact and mid-size SUVs and hatchbacks (2010-2018). It combines DOHC 16-valve architecture with a variable geometry turbocharger to deliver strong low-rpm torque and efficient cruising. Designed to meet Euro 5 emissions standards, it prioritises fuel economy and everyday drivability.

The VGT turbo provides strong low-RPM torque ideal for city driving but requires strict adherence to 20,000 km oil change intervals to prevent turbo and chain wear. Using PSA B71 2290 specification oil is critical for protecting the high-pressure fuel system and emissions components. The Bosch CP1 pump demands ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) to prevent premature wear. Vehicles produced before mid-2012 should have the fuel pump drive shaft upgraded to the revised specification per Peugeot Technical Note 10B05 to mitigate failure risks. DPF systems require regular highway driving to maintain regeneration cycles.
Oil Specs: Requires PSA B71 2290 5W-30 specification (Peugeot Service Manual 10B). ACEA C2/C3 compliant.
Emissions: Euro 5 certification applies to all 2010–2018 models (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9876).
Power Ratings: Measured under EEC 80/1269 standards. Output is consistent across model applications (Peugeot Group PT-2015).

The Peugeot DT17TED4 was used across Peugeot's PF2 and PF3 platforms with transverse mounting. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-notably different engine mounts and exhaust configurations for the 308 versus the 3008-creating minor parts variations. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on a flat boss on the front face of the cylinder block, near the alternator (Peugeot Service Manual 10B). The code "DT17TED4" will be clearly visible. Critical differentiation from the similar DV6 engine: The DT17 has a 1,560 cc displacement (75mm bore) versus the DV6's 1,560 cc with different internal components and 115 PS output. Engine management ECUs are specific; swapping between model applications requires matching the ECU and wiring harness due to different sensor configurations and calibration maps.
The DT17TED4's primary reliability risk is high-pressure fuel pump failure if the drive shaft is not upgraded, with elevated incidence in high-mileage vehicles. Peugeot service documentation indicates a significant number of pre-2012 units required pump replacement before 150,000 km, while owner data suggests DPF-related issues are common in urban-driven examples. Adherence to long-distance driving cycles and using correct fuel make preventative maintenance critical.
