The Peugeot FHZ (F13DTE5) is a 1,499 cc, inline‑three turbocharged diesel engine produced between 2017 and 2021. It features an aluminium block, double overhead camshafts (DOHC), and a high — pressure common rail fuel injection system. This 12‑valve unit was engineered for efficiency and refinement in compact applications, delivering 85 kW (115 PS) and 270 Nm of torque, providing responsive urban drivability with low fuel consumption.

Production years 2017–2021 meet Euro 6d-TEMP standards as per applicable EU regulations at time of manufacture (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9876).
The Peugeot FHZ (F13DTE5) is a 1,499 cc inline‑three turbocharged diesel engineered for compact hatchbacks and crossovers (2017-2021). It combines a high-pressure common rail injection system with a variable geometry turbocharger to deliver strong low‑rpm torque and exceptional fuel efficiency. Designed to meet Euro 6d-TEMP emissions standards, it prioritises low consumption and environmental compliance without sacrificing drivability.

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.
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.
Analysis derived from Peugeot technical bulletins (2017-2021) and owner club failure statistics (compiled 2020-2023). Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
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.
