Reconditioned Peugeot 2008 Gearbox

12 engine codes for the Peugeot 2008: which one determines your gearbox?

On the Peugeot 2008 (2013–2025), it is the engine code stamped on the block that determines the compatible gearbox — not just the engine capacity. Four engines are concerned, each with their own codes: the 1.6 HDi covers the codes 9H06, 9HP and 9HP (DV6DTED); the 1.2 PureTech covers HMZ, HNS, HNY and HNZ; the 1.4 HDi exists only with the code 8HR (DV4C); and finally, the 1.5 HDi comes with DV5RC, DV5RD, YH01 and YHZ. Identifying this code before placing any order prevents compatibility errors.

5-speed manual, 6-speed manual or ETG6: what the code reveals

The 1.6 HDi is the only engine in the 2008 range to have been fitted with an automated gearbox: the ETG6, a 6-speed single-clutch automated transmission. It is sold without the actuator or robot unit, an electronic component that must be sourced separately. All other gearboxes are manual: 5-speed on the 1.6 HDi (codes 9H06/9HP), the 1.2 PureTech (HMZ/HNS/HNY/HNZ) and the 1.4 HDi (8HR); 6-speed on the 1.2 PureTech and the 1.5 HDi. The move from 5 to 6 speeds on the PureTech corresponds to different production years and distinct code variants — HMZ and HNS do not necessarily take the same gearbox as HNY or HNZ.

Key points by engine

The 1.4 HDi (8HR/DV4C) was only fitted during the early years of the 2008 and has just one gearbox configuration, which makes identification straightforward. The 1.5 HDi, introduced later, gradually replaced the 1.6 HDi as the diesel option and brought new codes (DV5RC, DV5RD, YH01, YHZ) that must not be confused with those of the 1.6. On the 1.6 HDi, the codes 9HP and 9HP (DV6DTED) refer to variants of the same block, but the DV6DTED designation may indicate a different technical specification depending on the year — always checking the full code exactly as it appears on the engine is essential.
