1.6L I4 Turbodiesel (DV6TED4)
Diesel
Operate the electric sliding 'Sésame' doors multiple times on an incline. | Note: The most common failure point. Listen for grinding or straining. Replacement actuators and cables are expensive and difficult to source in NZ.
Perform a series of low-speed shifts and hill starts using the 2-Tronic semi-auto gearbox. | Note: The automated manual transmission is prone to actuator failure and jerky engagement. 'N' flashing on the dash indicates a costly electronic fault.
Listen for a whistling sound from the turbo and inspect around the injectors for 'black death' carbon buildup. | Note: The DV6 engine is notorious for oil carbonization which clogs the turbo oil feed. Regular 10,000km oil changes are mandatory for survival.
Check all electronic functions, including the 'Cameleo' interior kit swap-points and dash displays. | Note: Complex French electronics can suffer from BSI (Body Control Module) glitches, often triggered by aging batteries or water ingress.
Routine synthetic oil change and pollen filter replacement. Inspect door rail lubrication and drainage holes.
Replacement of the fuel filter (critical for diesel pump health) and brake fluid flush. Check 2-Tronic clutch wear via diagnostic software.
Major service: Timing belt and water pump replacement is critical. Also requires DPF Eolys fluid top-up and possible glow plug replacement.
Clean and lubricate the 'Sésame' door tracks with dry silicone spray monthly.
Use only PSA-specification 5W-30 C2/C3 low-ash synthetic oil to protect the DPF.
Check the engine bay for signs of leaking injector seals (copper washers) every service.
Maintain a high-quality AGM battery; low voltage causes cascading sensor and gearbox errors.
Monitor the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) status; ensure the car gets regular highway runs to initiate regeneration.
Estimated repair costs if issues arise
High failure rate; parts usually imported from Europe.
Critical preventative maintenance to avoid catastrophic engine failure.
Requires specialized Peugeot diagnostic tools (Lexia/Diagbox) for calibration.
Usually caused by sludge buildup; requires oil feed pipe replacement and engine flush.
