Peugeot FHZ-F13DTE5 Compatible Models

The Peugeot FHZ (F13DTE5) was used exclusively across Peugeot's compact 208 and 2008 platforms with transverse mounting. This engine received minor ECU updates during its production run for emissions fine-tuning, though core mechanical components remained fully interchangeable. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.

Common Reliability Issues - PEUGEOT FHZ-F13DTE5 Compatible Models

The FHZ (F13DTE5)'s primary reliability risk is EGR system clogging, with elevated incidence in vehicles used primarily for short urban journeys. Peugeot service documentation recommends preventative cleaning, while owner data suggests this is the most frequent cause of performance-related complaints. Neglecting AdBlue refills will immobilize the vehicle, making adherence to dashboard warnings critical.

EGR valve and cooler clogging
Symptoms: Loss of power, rough idle, increased fuel consumption, engine management light illuminated with emissions-related codes.
Cause: Accumulation of carbon and soot deposits within the EGR valve and cooler, restricting gas flow and causing improper EGR function, especially after frequent short trips.
Fix: Remove and clean the EGR valve and cooler assembly. Replace if heavily clogged or damaged. Reset adaptations using diagnostic equipment.
AdBlue system faults or depletion
Symptoms: Dashboard warnings for low AdBlue level, followed by countdown to engine start-lock, reduced engine power (limp mode).
Cause: Depletion of the AdBlue fluid tank without refill, or failure of the AdBlue injector, pump, or NOx sensors, preventing the SCR system from functioning.
Fix: Refill the AdBlue tank with certified fluid. If warnings persist, diagnose and replace the faulty component (injector, pump, sensor) using OEM procedures.
DPF regeneration issues
Symptoms: Increased fuel consumption, loss of power, DPF warning light illuminated, engine may enter limp mode.
Cause: Incomplete or failed regeneration cycles due to insufficient exhaust temperature, often caused by persistent short-trip driving patterns.
Fix: Perform a forced regeneration using diagnostic equipment. If regeneration fails repeatedly, the DPF may need to be removed and cleaned or replaced.
Turbocharger actuator failure
Symptoms: Whistling or hissing noise from engine bay, loss of boost pressure, increased fuel consumption, engine management light may illuminate.
Cause: Wear or sticking of the variable geometry turbo actuator linkage or vacuum diaphragm, preventing the vanes from adjusting correctly under ECU command.
Fix: Replace the turbocharger actuator or the entire turbocharger assembly with an OEM-specified unit. Check associated vacuum lines and solenoids.

PEUGEOT FHZ-F13DTE5 FAQ Common Questions Answered

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works

The FHZ is a modern, efficient engine designed for low emissions. Its main vulnerabilities are the EGR system and the AdBlue/SCR emissions equipment. With regular long-distance driving to keep the EGR and DPF clean, and timely AdBlue refills, these engines are very reliable. Neglecting these systems will lead to expensive repairs and potential immobilization.

The most frequent issues are clogging of the EGR valve and cooler, AdBlue system faults or depletion leading to start-lock, and DPF regeneration problems. Turbocharger actuator faults are also documented. All are well-known in Peugeot service bulletins and have established diagnostic and repair procedures.

The FHZ (F13DTE5) was used exclusively in the second-generation Peugeot 208 (2019-2021) and the second-generation Peugeot 2008 (2019-2021) as the 1.5 BlueHDi 115 variant. It was not used in any other Peugeot, Citroën, or Opel models of that era.

Yes, the FHZ responds well to ECU remapping. A stage 1 remap can safely increase power to around 130-140 PS and torque to 300-320 Nm. More aggressive tuning is possible but requires careful consideration of the emissions systems (DPF, SCR) which may not tolerate significantly increased exhaust temperatures or pressures without modification.

Fuel economy is outstanding for a diesel. Expect around 4.0-4.5 L/100km (71-63 mpg UK) in mixed driving for a Peugeot 208. Highway cruising can yield 3.5-4.0 L/100km (81-71 mpg UK). Consumption will increase if the DPF or EGR system is malfunctioning or if driving is predominantly urban with short trips.

Yes. The FHZ (F13DTE5) is an interference engine. If the timing chain were to fail (though highly unlikely given its design and durability), the pistons would collide with the open valves, causing severe internal engine damage. The chain is designed to last the lifetime of the engine with proper oil changes.

Peugeot specifies a 0W-30 fully synthetic oil meeting the PSA B71 2312 standard. This is a low-SAPS (Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus, Sulphur) oil specifically formulated to protect the emissions systems (DPF, SCR) and ensure optimal performance of the low-friction engine design.
