2.0 BlueHDi 150/163 (DW10FC/DW10FD, 2013-2020) engine: faults and reliability

PSA 2.0 BlueHDi (DW10FC/DW10FD) version

With caution

Fiches-Auto describes this output band of the 2.0 (no longer with the DPF and turbo problems seen on generations before 2007) as markedly improved, but the AdBlue system it has carried since 2013 is a fault acknowledged by Stellantis, which compensates affected owners without having provided a definitive fix.[1][2][3]

What changes in this version

Compared with the previous 2.0 HDi, it adds the SCR catalytic converter with AdBlue injection to meet Euro 6, while keeping the additive-dosed diesel particulate filter (DPF). It is the entry-level output of the 2.0 BlueHDi; depending on the car and the market it has been sold as 150, 160 or 163 hp, figures that correspond to the same mechanicals with different homologation.[4][5][6]

Engine codes of this version: DW10FC, DW10FD.

Faults of the DW10FC engine

The documented engine faults that affect this version and its years, from most to least important.

  1. 1Medium severityFrequency: Very frequentEmissions controlAdBlue (SCR) tank and pump failureOn the 2.0 BlueHDi, the AdBlue tank can crystallise or fail and show a warning with a countdown to the point where the engine will not start. It is the most frequently cited fault of this engine: Stellantis compensates owners of diesels built up to August 2020, with no definitive fix.Repair: €1,000–€1,500
  2. 2High severityFrequency: OccasionalEmissions controlDPF clogging on short journeysThe additive-dosed DPF on the 2.0 BlueHDi can clog if the car mostly does short journeys and does not reach the temperature needed to regenerate. It is a documented fault on current models such as the Opel Grandland, although with fewer cases than on the generations of the 2.0 HDi from before 2013.
  3. 3High severityFrequency: OccasionalInjectionInjector and high-pressure pump wearThe injectors and the high-pressure pump on the 2.0 BlueHDi are among the documented faults, although in a minority of the cases recorded compared with AdBlue or the DPF. When the pump fails, metal particles can contaminate the whole circuit and make the repair far more expensive.
  4. 4Medium severityFrequency: OccasionalEmissions controlEGR valve blocked by carbon depositsThe EGR valve on the 2.0 BlueHDi can get clogged with carbon deposits and stick, causing juddering and limp mode. Specialists place the greatest risk in the earlier 120 and 136/138 hp versions without AdBlue; at 150-180 hp the documented cases are in the minority.Repair (garage): €200–€350
