The Peugeot HNY (EB2DTS) is a 1,499 cc, inline‑three turbo‑diesel engine produced from 2018 to present. It features an aluminium block and head, double overhead camshafts (DOHC), and a single fixed — geometry turbocharger. This engine delivers 85 kW (116 PS) and 250 Nm of torque, engineered for compact efficiency and urban agility in Peugeot's small SUV and hatchback lineup.
Fitted to models like the 208 and 2008, the HNY was designed for drivers prioritising low running c…
Production years 2018–Present meet Euro 6d standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/3456).
The Peugeot HNY (EB2DTS) is a 1,499 cc inline‑three turbo‑diesel engineered for compact hatchbacks and SUVs (2018-Present). It combines DOHC 12-valve architecture with a fixed-geometry turbocharger to deliver responsive, low-RPM torque. Designed to meet Euro 6d emissions standards, it balances urban efficiency with regulatory compliance.

The Peugeot HNY (EB2DTS) was used across Peugeot's Common Modular Platform (CMP) with transverse mounting. This engine received no significant platform-specific adaptations, ensuring parts commonality between the 208 and 2008. All technical specifications are consistent across applications as documented in OEM technical bulletins.
The HNY's primary reliability risk is exhaust pressure sensor drift if the revised unit is not fitted, with elevated incidence in high-mileage vehicles subjected to frequent highway driving. Peugeot service documentation indicates a significant number of pre-2020 units required sensor replacement before 80,000 km, while owner data suggests AdBlue system faults are common if fluid quality is poor. Adherence to correct fluid usage and using OEM sensors make preventative maintenance critical.
Analysis derived from Peugeot technical bulletins (2018-Present) and Peugeot Owner's Club failure statistics (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 HNY can be reliable long-term if its known issues are addressed. The most critical is ensuring the exhaust pressure sensor is the revised unit if it's an early (pre-2020) engine. Regular oil changes with the correct 0W-30 oil, using high-quality AdBlue, and maintaining the EGR system are essential for longevity. With proper care, it's a robust and efficient modern diesel.
The most common and critical problem is exhaust pressure sensor drift on pre-2020 engines. Other frequent issues include AdBlue system faults (often due to poor fluid quality), failing swirl flap motors, and EGR valve clogging. These are well-documented in Peugeot service bulletins.
The HNY 1.5L diesel is used in the current generation Peugeot 208 (2019-Present) and 2008 (2019-Present), typically badged as the '1.5 BlueHDi 115'. It is a key engine for Peugeot's compact vehicle lineup on the CMP platform.
Yes, the HNY responds well to ECU remapping. A stage 1 remap can typically increase power to around 130-140 PS and torque to 280-300 Nm, providing a noticeable improvement in performance. As with any tuning, it should be performed by a reputable specialist and may impact component longevity.
Fuel economy is excellent for its class. In a Peugeot 208, expect around 4.0-4.5 L/100km (71-63 mpg UK) on a combined cycle. Real-world figures for the slightly heavier 2008 SUV are marginally higher, around 4.5-5.0 L/100km (63-56 mpg UK), depending on driving style and conditions.
Yes. The HNY is an interference engine. If the timing chain were to fail (though rare), the pistons would collide with the open valves, causing severe internal engine damage. Fortunately, the chain is generally robust and designed to last the engine's lifetime with proper oil maintenance.
Peugeot specifies a fully synthetic 0W-30 oil meeting the PSA B71 2350 standard. This low-SAPS (Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus, Sulphur) oil is crucial for protecting the DPF, SCR, and other emissions components. Using the correct oil and adhering to service intervals (typically 20,000 km) is vital for engine health.
