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.
Fitted primarily to the Peugeot 208 and 2008, the FHZ (F13DTE5) was designed for agile city driving and relaxed highway cruising. Emissions compliance for its production period was managed through its exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, diesel particulate filter (DPF), and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) with AdBlue, meeting the stringent Euro 6d-TEMP standard upon its introduction.
One documented service concern is potential clogging of the EGR valve and cooler due to soot accumulation, which can lead to reduced performance and increased emissions. This issue is referenced in Peugeot service documentation and necessitates periodic cleaning or replacement to maintain optimal engine function and emissions compliance.
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 compact three-cylinder design provides excellent fuel economy and low emissions but requires strict adherence to 20,000 km oil change intervals using PSA B71 2312 (0W-30) oil to protect the turbo and chain. The engine's low friction design is sensitive to oil quality. The SCR system demands regular AdBlue top-ups; ignoring warnings will result in a vehicle start-lock. The EGR system is prone to clogging in predominantly short-trip use; periodic highway driving or professional cleaning is recommended. The variable geometry turbo is robust but benefits from allowing it to cool after hard driving.
Oil Specs: Requires 0W-30 synthetic meeting PSA B71 2312 (Peugeot Owner's Manual). Equivalent to ACEA C2 low-SAPS specifications.
Emissions: Euro 6d-TEMP certification applies to all production years (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9876). No market-specific variations for this model.
Power Ratings: Measured under EEC 80/1269 standards. Output is consistent across documented applications (Peugeot Homologation Sheet H-17-208).

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.
Locate the engine code stamped on the flat machined surface at the front of the cylinder block, near the alternator (Peugeot Service Manual 1499.FHZ). The code will read "FHZ" or "F13DTE5". Visually, it is identified by its compact size, black plastic rocker cover with "BlueHDi" branding, and the presence of an AdBlue tank filler cap in the fuel filler flap. Critical differentiation from the petrol 1.2 PureTech: The FHZ is a diesel with a high-pressure fuel pump and DPF/SCR systems. Ensure service parts are specific to the FHZ; components for other 1.5 HDi engines (DV5) are not compatible.
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.
