ParentFord of Britain and PSA Group (Peugeot/Citroën)

The Ford DLD engine series comprises a collection of compact inline-four diesel powerplants developed collaboratively by Ford of Britain and the PSA Group (Peugeot/Citroën). The joint venture between Ford and PSA for manufacturing the DLD/DV engines commenced in September 1998. Manufacturing duties are equally divided among Ford’s facilities in Dagenham, England and Chennai, India, alongside PSA’s plant located in Trémery, France.

Ford markets these engines under the DuraTorq TDCi name, whereas PSA offers them as part of the HDi lineup through Citroën and Peugeot. Additionally, Mazda utilizes Ford-produced DLD units in the Mazda2 and Mazda 3, branding them as MZ-CD or CiTD.

The engine lineup officially consists of two primary families:

  • The 1.4 L DLD-414, typically without an intercooler
  • The 1.5 L variant, derived from the 1.6 L design
  • The 1.6 L DLD-416, which always includes an intercooler

Subsequently, Ford incorporated the unrelated 1.8 L DLD-418, part of the Ford Endura-D engine series, into the DLD range. In 2012, Ford launched a 1.5-litre model closely based on the 1.6-litre engine architecture.

DLD-414

The Duratorq DLD-414 (also known as DV4) is a 1.4 L (1398 cc) inline-four turbo-diesel engine delivering power at 4500 rpm and torque at 2000 rpm.

This DV4 engine is available in two configurations:

  • An SOHC 8-valve layout paired with a KKK KP35 turbocharger without an intercooler. This variant, used across Ford, Mazda, and most PSA vehicles, employs a Siemens SID804 or SID802 common rail fuel injection system. The PSA version found in the 2005–2008 Citroën C1/Peugeot 107/Toyota Aygo 1.4 HDi utilizes the Siemens SID805 system with reduced output to accommodate a less robust 5-speed manual gearbox. Some PSA models incorporate a Bosch common rail setup. This configuration complies with Euro 3 emission standards and adopted a Diesel particulate filter starting in 2006 to meet Euro 4 regulations.
  • A DOHC 16-valve variant featuring an intercooled variable-geometry turbocharger along with Delphi DCR1400 common-rail injection. Production of this version ended in 2006 due to its inability to satisfy Euro 4 emission requirements.

Details by configuration include:

Model Output Notes
DV4 TD 70 PS (51 kW; 69 hp) Turbo-Diesel with an eight-valve configuration
DV4 TED4 92 PS (68 kW; 91 hp) Turbo-Diesel featuring sixteen valves

DLD-415

The Duratorq DLD-415 (also known as DV5) is a straight-four turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 1.5 L (1499 cc), delivering outputs ranging from to at engine speeds between 3500 and 3750 rpm, alongside torque figures spanning to at approximately 1750 rpm.

This powerplant incorporates a DOHC sixteen-valve layout combined with an intercooled variable-geometry turbocharger (for example, a Garrett GT1544V) and complies with Euro 6.2 emission standards through inclusion of a Diesel particulate filter.

It has been employed across various power ratings:

  • Producing 75 PS with torque of 230 Nm—used in models such as the post-2018 Peugeot Rifter, Partner, Citroën Berlingo III, and Opel Combo E
  • Generating 102 PS and torque of 250 Nm—found in vehicles including the Peugeot 2008 (2018 onward), Opel Zafira Life/Vivaro C, Peugeot Traveller/Citroën Spacetourer, Toyota ProAce, DS 3 Crossback, among others
  • Delivering outputs of 120 PS and torque of 300 Nm—applied to Peugeot models like the 2008; Opel Zafira Life/Vivaro C; Citroën Jumpy/Traveller/Spacetourer; Citroën C4 Cactus; Toyota ProAce
  • Offering up to130 PS with torque rated at300 Nm—powering vehicles such as Peugeot's second-generation308 and508, Rifter/Partner, Citroën Berlingo III, DS3 Crossback, Opel Combo E, Peugeot's second-generation3008/5008, Citroën C4 Spacetourer/C5 Aircross, DS7 Crossback, and Opel Grandland X

DLD-416

The DLD-416 (also known as DV6) is a 1.6 L (1560 cc) diesel engine manufactured in the United Kingdom and utilized by brands such as Ford, Volvo, PSA, Mini, and Mazda.

This powerplant incorporates a DOHC 16-valve architecture paired with an intercooled variable-geometry turbocharger—for example, the Garrett AiResearch GT1544V—and meets Euro 5 emissions requirements through the use of a Diesel particulate filter. In 2011, the engine design transitioned to a SOHC layout featuring 8 valves (designated DV-6C/DV-6D).

Its deployment spans numerous vehicle models with power outputs ranging from 75 PS up to 115 PS and torque values between and Nm. Key applications include:

DLD-418

The Duratorq DLD-418 is a 1.8 L (1753 cc) intercooled common rail diesel engine that differs from the smaller 1.4 and 1.6 DLD series. It traces its origins to Ford's Endura-D engine from the 1980s and 1990s, an 8-valve unit. Despite its distinct lineage, Ford classifies it within the DLD family under the official "DLD" designation.

Originally, the Endura-D underwent significant modernization including the addition of a variable-vane turbocharger and Delphi high-pressure common rail fuel injection. This updated version was launched in 2001 as the DuraTorq TDCi, while the prior iteration was renamed 'DuraTorq TDDi'.

The initial 2001 iteration generated at 3800 rpm and delivered torque of at 1850 rpm. In August 2002, a lower-output variant was introduced for the Ford Focus, producing at 3850 rpm and torque of at 1750 rpm. By early 2005, torque figures for the higher-output model rose to at 1900 rpm, maintaining power output.

The most recent versions of the DLD-418 debuted in the 2007 Ford Mondeo, offering two power options: one producing at 3850 rpm with torque of , and a more powerful variant delivering at 3700 rpm alongside torque of .

Applications include:

  • / :
    • Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi (2001–2011)
    • Ford C-Max 1.8 TDCi (2005–2010)
  • / :
    • Ford Galaxy and Ford Mondeo 1.8 TDCi (2002–2012)
    • Ford S-Max 1.8 TDCi (2006–2012)
