Variant HistoryPeugeot 308 1.6 HDi - Engine History & Specs at a Glance
The Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi was the dominant diesel engine across the first-generation (Phase 1, 2007-2013) 308 range, powering everything from entry-level Access to high-spec Feline trims. Part of PSA's DV6 engine family, the 1.6 HDi delivered strong fuel economy and torque - making it the backbone of UK 308 diesel sales. Available in 90hp, 110hp and 112hp outputs, the 1.6 HDi was fitted to Active, Allure, Sport, GT and Feline variants. However, its turbocharger, injector and EGR system vulnerabilities have made it a significant source of replacement enquiries for high-mileage examples. The 1.6 HDi was later replaced by the 1.6 BlueHDi (DV5) in the second-generation (Phase 2, 2013-2021) 308.

Common Failure
Turbocharger bearing wear due to oil starvation (as early as 40,000 miles); injector seal leaks; EGR valve clogging; DPF blockage on short-journey driving.
The Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi (DV6) is the most common diesel engine in the first-generation 308, but its reliability is considered mixed - with recurrent failures on several components. Turbocharger failure, injector seal leaks and EGR clogging are the primary drivers of replacement enquiries. The 110hp and 112hp variants are particularly susceptible. Every rebuilt Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi engine through EnginesMarket includes upgraded components addressing the original failure points, plus a minimum 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty.
Why Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi Engines Lose Boost and Smoke Excessively
Affected Vehicles
Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi (9HV, 9HY, 9HZ, 9HR, 2007-2013)
Typical Failure Mileage
40,000-100,000 miles
Root Cause
The 1.6 HDi runs hot, causing sludge in the oil which can clog the turbo oil feed filter - leading to oil starvation and bearing failure. The 110hp 9HZ and 112hp 9HR variants are particularly susceptible. Symptoms include loss of power, excessive smoke, whistling noise and, in severe cases, complete turbo seizure. Turbocharger failures have been reported as early as 40,000 km.

Our Recommendation
Our Recommendation
Turbo failure on the Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi is often a symptom of wider oil circulation issues. If your engine is showing turbo symptoms, get a compression test first. If compression is good, a specialist turbo replacement with a full oil system flush may suffice. If not, a rebuilt DV6 engine with upgraded oil feed components is the smarter investment. The 1.6 HDi runs hot - regular oil changes with correct 5W-30 or 5W-40 specification are critical to preventing sludge buildup.

Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi Engine ReplacementFrequently Asked Questions
Question 1How much does a Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi engine replacement cost-
A rebuilt Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi engine typically costs **£850-£1,600** supply-only, depending on power output and supplier. 9HV 90hp units start around **£850**, 9HY 109hp units from **£900**, 9HZ 110hp units from **£950**, and 9HR 112hp units from **£1,000**. Used engines start from **£550**. Supply & fit adds **£400-£800** labour.
- Rebuilt 9HV 90hp: £850-£1,350
- Rebuilt 9HY 109hp: £900-£1,450
- Rebuilt 9HZ 110hp: £950-£1,550
- Rebuilt 9HR 112hp: £1,000-£1,600
Question 2What are the most common Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi engine problems-
The most common Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi (DV6) engine problems are **turbocharger failure** due to oil starvation (reported as early as 40,000 miles), **injector seal leaks and sticking** (especially on 110hp and 112hp variants), **EGR valve clogging** and **DPF blockage** from short-journey driving. The 1.6 HDi's reliability is considered mixed, with recurrent failures on several components.
- Turbo failure: oil feed blockage from sludge
- Injector issues: clattering, loss of power (400-650 per injector)
- DPF/EGR: anti-pollution faults, limp mode
- Dual-mass flywheel: vibrations at idle, premature wear
Question 3Is it worth replacing the engine on a Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi-
Replacing a Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi engine is worthwhile if the vehicle is otherwise sound. A rebuilt unit costs **£850-£1,600** versus **£1,500-£5,000** for a comparable used 308. With dealer replacement potentially exceeding **£4,500**, specialist rebuilt units offer significant savings. The 1.6 HDi's strong fuel economy (50+ mpg) makes it a desirable engine for high-mileage drivers.
- Rebuilt DV6: £850-£1,600
- Dealer replacement: £3,000-£4,500+
- Comparable used 308: £1,500-£5,000
Question 4How long does a Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi engine last-
With proper maintenance, the Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi (DV6) engine typically reaches **150,000-200,000 miles**. Regular oil changes with correct 5W-30 or 5W-40 specification, DPF-friendly driving (regular motorway runs) and EGR system maintenance are essential for longevity. The 1.6 HDi runs hot - sludge buildup is the primary killer of turbos and bearings.
- 150,000-200,000 miles achievable with proper maintenance
- Regular motorway driving prevents DPF blockage
- Oil changes every 10,000 miles critical for turbo health
- The DV6 engine is robust but requires vigilance
Question 5What's the difference between Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi and 1.6 BlueHDi engines-
The 1.6 HDi (DV6) is a **Euro 5** diesel fitted to first-generation 308s (2007-2013), producing 90-112hp without AdBlue. The 1.6 BlueHDi (DV5) is a **Euro 6** diesel fitted to second-generation 308s (2013-2021), featuring AdBlue (SCR) for lower NOx emissions and producing 99-120hp. The BlueHDi has more complex emissions hardware and is generally more fuel-efficient but more sensitive to AdBlue system faults. The HDi is simpler and cheaper to maintain but has its own turbo and injector vulnerabilities.
- 1.6 HDi: Euro 5, no AdBlue, 90-112hp (2007-2013)
- 1.6 BlueHDi: Euro 6, AdBlue, 99-120hp (2013-2021)
- HDi simpler but suffers turbo and injector failures
Question 6How do I find my Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi engine code-
Your Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi engine code appears on the VIN plate under the bonnet, stamped on the engine block, or on your V5C registration document section D.2. Common codes include **9HV** (90hp), **9HY** (109hp), **9HZ** (110hp) and **9HR** (112hp). Enter your reg above for instant verification.
- VIN plate under bonnet shows engine code
- V5C section D.2 lists the official engine code
- 9HV = 90hp; 9HY = 109hp; 9HZ = 110hp; 9HR = 112hp
