Reconditioned Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi Engine

308 1.6 HDi from 2007 to 2013: two generations of DV6, with engine codes that don't overlap

On the first-generation 308, the 1.6 HDi is based on the DV6 family in its successive variants: DV6ATED4 and DV6BTED4 cover the early production years, followed by DV6DTED and DV6ETED, while the DV6FC (code BHZ) marks the final evolution of the series on this model. Added to these are variants identified by short codes — 9HX, 9HW, 9H02, BH01, T1WA, T1WB, T1DA, T1BB, T3DA, T3DB, TZJA, NGDA, NGDB — which reflect distinct power outputs (90 hp or 110 hp depending on the version) and genuine internal differences. A DV6ATED4 cannot be substituted for a DV6DTED: the cylinder head, injection system and certain mountings differ.

When rebuilding the original block changes the picture

Given this level of segmentation, finding the right variant on an exchange basis is not always straightforward, particularly for the less common codes within the DV6ATED4 series. If the original block is still structurally sound — crankshaft intact, bores unscored, block uncracked — rebuilding it may be more appropriate than a replacement, precisely because it retains the vehicle's exact reference. This option is available in our catalogue for this engine.

Key points to watch on the DV6 under heavy use

The DV6 in the 308 is well known for early clogging of the EGR valve and diesel particulate filter in short urban-cycle use, which can lead to a diagnosis of engine failure when the block itself is perfectly intact. Before making any decision, identifying the engine code stamped on the block — not just the stated power output — remains the essential starting point for confirming exact parts compatibility.
