Frequently asked questions
Which Peugeot 2008 engine is the most reliable?
1.6 HDi / BlueHDi (DV6) — Maint. Sensitive verdict. The 1.6 HDi/BlueHDi (DV6) is the economical diesel — high-mileage capable and better-matched to the crossover than the wet-belt petrol for big distances. It carries the DV6's turbo oil-starvation caution (narrow oil-feed pipe carbons up on neglect), plus DPF/EGR on short trips and, on BlueHDi, the AdBlue/SCR system.
