There is no catalysator in diesel engine.
Isn't there? The early Xantia diesels have got one, but I suppose a more modern cleaner diesel could get away without one.
In HDI there is another small fuel injection after main portion which is supposed to complete burning and reduce polution. AFAIK my Peugeot Partner have no catalysator.
I'd look underneath, my C5 has a cat.

And there is actually catalysator inside? For what?
I think it's DPFS filter not a typical cat. It has a small catalyst inside but very different one. It's used only for raising temperature and burning small particles at intervals of few hundred kilometres.
...that's true...
...and this (unfortunately) isn't - the 2.0 HDi only has an oxidation catalysator that helps reduce toxic carbon monoxyde emissions. That's a pretty standard part for Diesel engines today.
The particle filter (FAP, for Citroen) is another story: the modern direct-injecting Diesel engines tend to emit very small and possibly harmful particles. The filters hold them back and burn them. Unfortunately, PSA Peugeot Citroen do not offer such a filter for the Berlingo/Partner and even try to sell the new 1.6 HDi without it - as rumours have it, due to place restrictions. However that may be, it is a bad move concerning marketing...
