Variant HistoryPeugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi - Engine History & Specs at a Glance
The Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi was introduced with the second-generation (P24) 2008 in 2019, replacing the 1.6-litre BlueHDi units with a more efficient, refined diesel powertrain. Part of Stellantis's DV5 engine family, the 1.5 BlueHDi (DV5RC) delivers strong torque and excellent motorway fuel economy while meeting Euro 6d emissions standards. Available in 100hp and 130hp outputs, it powers Allure, GT and GT Premium trims - but its complex AdBlue and DPF systems have made it a growing source of replacement enquiries.

Common Failure

The Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi (DV5RC) is a refined, economical diesel - but its complex emissions hardware and early-production camshaft chain weaknesses have created distinct failure patterns. AdBlue injector crystallisation, DPF blockage and camshaft chain wear are the primary drivers of replacement enquiries. Stellantis has launched a customer satisfaction campaign covering 100% of camshaft chain repair costs for certain vehicles. Every rebuilt Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi engine through EnginesMarket includes upgraded components addressing the original failure points, plus a minimum 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty.
Why Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi Engines Trigger Countdowns
Affected Vehicles
Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi (DV5RC, 2019-present)
Typical Failure Mileage
50,000-90,000 miles
Root Cause
Crystallised urea deposits clog the AdBlue injector nozzle, triggering fault codes and eventually a countdown to engine immobilisation. The AdBlue system is sensitive to temperature variations - crystallisation is more common in cold or very hot conditions.

Our Recommendation
Our Recommendation
Address AdBlue warnings immediately - a £120-£300 specialist clean can prevent a £700 injector replacement. If the countdown has started, act fast to avoid immobilisation. Replacement engines are only needed if the fault caused secondary damage.

Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi Engine ReplacementFrequently Asked Questions
Question 1How much does a Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi engine replacement cost-
A rebuilt Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi engine typically costs **£2,800-£3,100** supply-only, depending on power output (100hp or 130hp) and supplier. Used units start from **£1,200**. Reconditioned units range **£2,200-£2,800**. Supply & fit adds **£400-£800** labour.
- Rebuilt DV5RC: £2,800-£3,100
- Reconditioned DV5RC: £2,200-£2,800
- Used DV5RC: £1,200-£1,800
Question 2What are the most common Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi engine problems-
The most common Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi (DV5RC) engine problems are **AdBlue injector crystallisation** triggering countdowns, **camshaft chain wear** on early 7mm-chain units (2019-2022), and **DPF blockage** from short-journey driving. Stellantis has launched a customer satisfaction campaign covering camshaft chain repairs at 100% cost for eligible vehicles.
- AdBlue injector crystallisation causes countdown to immobilisation
- 7mm camshaft chain prone to wear and breakage (upgraded to 8mm from 2022)
- DPF blockage triggers anti-pollution warnings
Question 3Is it worth replacing the engine on a Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi-
Replacing a Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi engine is worthwhile if the vehicle is otherwise sound. A rebuilt unit costs **£2,800-£3,100** versus **£6,000-£18,000** for a comparable used 2008. With dealer replacement potentially exceeding **£6,500**, specialist rebuilt units offer significant savings. Check eligibility for Stellantis's customer satisfaction campaign - camshaft chain repairs may be covered at 100%.
- Rebuilt DV5RC: £2,800-£3,100
- Dealer replacement: £4,800-£6,500+
- Stellantis campaign may cover camshaft chain repairs at no cost
Question 4How long does a Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi engine last-
With proper maintenance, the Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi (DV5RC) engine typically reaches **150,000-200,000 miles**. Regular oil changes, AdBlue system maintenance and DPF-friendly driving (regular motorway runs) are essential for longevity. Early 2019-2022 models should have the camshaft chain inspected - Stellantis has identified a potential weakness in the 7mm chain design.
- 150,000-200,000 miles achievable with proper maintenance
- Early 7mm camshaft chain requires inspection (upgraded to 8mm from 2022)
- Regular motorway driving prevents DPF blockage
Question 5What's the difference between Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi and 1.6 BlueHDi engines-
The 1.5 BlueHDi (DV5RC) replaced the 1.6 BlueHDi (DV6C) in the second-generation 2008 from 2019. The 1.5L unit offers improved efficiency and lower emissions with a 1,499cc displacement versus the 1.6L's 1,560cc. Both use common-rail injection, but the 1.5 BlueHDi features the DV5 family's refined injection system. The 1.5 BlueHDi is generally more economical but has its own failure patterns - AdBlue injector crystallisation and early camshaft chain wear.
- 1.5 BlueHDi: 1,499cc, Euro 6d, DV5RC code
- 1.6 BlueHDi: 1,560cc, Euro 6, DV6C code
- 1.5 BlueHDi more efficient but has AdBlue and camshaft chain vulnerabilities
