Hi everyone. Ive recently got a 1.5 diesel as an every day run about. I am confused and stumped as to its fuel consumption. I only get around 30-35mpg from it. Its only done 49000 miles, has just had a full service including cambelt etc and starts and runs perfect. No smoke, starts first time every time and pulls very well. I personally drive very...

When I switch the fan on full lots of dust and pieces of dead fly coming out of my vent. I thought it needs to replace new pollen filter. I have order one and I could not find anywhere till I have found it was under windscreen bottom frame cover on Youtube video. I open there is no pollen filter in! My have Aircon it is 2001 Meridian Estate 2.0HDI...

Does anyone have any thoughts/comments either direct or anecdotal about the respective merits of these two estate cars?

I'm well aware of the most significant probs with the C5 but have not heard anything about the 508SW. Does it have any potentially expensive foibles like the steering rack on the the C5?

Comments and thoughts most welcome as...

Peugeot 307cc (136BHP) 2.0 HDI Diesel 08 Reg

I have a Whistling sound when Accelerating and an ECU Boost error. I’ve checked the engine bay for air leaks but unable to find any. I have a few questions that would be helpful in finding the fault.

I read that the whistling sound could be a faulty EGR Valve which is jammed closed. Is this plausible?...

When it was all buttoned up back together I have an extra connector that I cant find a mate for now. I cant remember whether this was there before or not? I have the connectors for the camshaft and crank sensors all OK, along with the turbo solenoid. There's a big one back there that is a different style to the others too. The extra one is a brown...

Hi, I've just come across this site while searching for a clue. Could anyone help me please identifying a part that leaks the fuel? I attached a picture. The blue circle shows the place of the leakage and the red is the part I am curious about. Thank you very much!

Our 406 HDi RHZ has its gearbox out at the moment chasing gear select problems (see other thread).

How do I test the DMF to see if it is worn out? It does not make any noises, the clutch is OK but I am replacing it while I have the gearbox out. Should I replace the DMF as well?
It has done 220k km of mostly open road driving.

What I see now is...

She's a squirter!

Weeping oil in the area behind the fuel pump, cleaned it off for a better look, here's the pic I took after a couple of minutes idling. 20180427_203640.jpg

Any suggestions of possible cause/remedy appreciated.

Thanks.

Hiya. I have tge dreaded antipollution faulty and it showed this code:

P0113 Permanent Fault
Intake air temperature signal short circuit to earth

Anyone knows what this is? And where is the IAT sensor located in my car? Hoping it will be an easy fix. Cheers everyone.

The car is all back together after repairs, with a replacement turbo repeat sensor. The stuttering at partial throttle seems to be gone, along with the surging at full throttle as the revs rise. However, the peak pressure now is around 16psi. I'm sure pressures of nearer 20 were recorded before, although not constant. I guess that could have been...

Could someone clarify me that my 306 fuel cap at the bottom there is hole for when accidental overflow it drain down but my was just hole no rubber nipple or a tube I can see top of my tyre from that hole.
Other day when I overflow the fuel running down the inner side arch and drip on top of tyre it quite a dangerous to drive risk oversteering, I...

hi iv just bought a peugeot 307 sw 1.6 hdi.today my trip computer readings started to become eratic displaying all sorts of readings.any ideas?also my clutch is about an inch above the brake pedal is this normal?thanks in advance

Just tried to change the cam belt on my 106, engine is from a 1994 1.4 Kid Diesel. Spent ages trying to fit the locating dowels / pins to lock the flywheel, camshaft and crankshaft without success. I finally managed to find the holes and fit the pins to the injection pump and dowel to lock the flywheel. The problem I have is when the pump and...

Hi guys. I was just rummaging through my hood when I saw this (attached picture). Is this the steering rack boot? There's a bit of a muddy grease on it, i think its a good thing as this means the rack isnt dried up yet (though it is quite dirty), am I right? And also, if I am to leave it be for a while, will there be a bigger problem? Havent...

Friend of mine has a 2018 Expert van...

He is most (understandably) frustrated that the 12V power socket will not stay live when the van goes into power-saving mode...

Is there any way to make this socket live all the time and not go dead when power saving mode is in force?

Thanks, he will be most grateful :)

Hi i have a peugeot 206, 04 reg
The front wipers work fine on the first and second settings the intermediate and the slow speed, but when i put them on the third setting the fast speed they dont work, they just compleatly stop anywhere on the windscreen,

Anybody done this ? I'm coming to agree with the advice I was offered, that repairs involving injectors out are too risky !

There doesn't look to be enough room between the screen and radiator to lift the engine out, but it won't go downwards without degassing the working aircon.

Dropping it downwards with gearbox attached looks most likely ?...

Hello,
This is my first post so forgive any mistake. My Peugeot's previous owner gave me only two keys and the owners manual says that the car must have 3 keys. Does anyone knows how many keys must this car have from the factory? That I have has not remote control . Thanks you very much. Sincerely yours,
Michael

I guess it might be to an extent , a 'Piece of String' question, but how much Ooomph is too much?

So I'm changing No.4 Glowplug (behind the pump), and giving it ever increasing amounts of Oomph to get it 'cracked' and thinking to myself, please don't snap on me . Thankfully, it 'cracked' OK and was then straightforward to undo with no need for...

I do not see any tailgate switch with a mercury liquid inside from eBay or elsewhere? my local Peugeot dealer in Braintree is charger £12.99 with VAT for a tiny switch. Do anyone know this parts number and the name of this switch? I am try to get the cheapest online.

I have bought my new 306 HDI estate 2001, last week I knew the rear wiper was not work I can fix it. Today look on fuse in interior found a 20amps is missing, so I insert fuse, when I turn the stalk on first switch should be move all time but it do nothing, when I switch further for the water the wiper is coming on wiper 5 times then stop but the...

Hey guys thank you for welcoming me here. My pug 307 1.6v 2007 auto has now reached 106k miles and Ive had the fluid changed, what was put in was Dexron 6 (I know the recommended is Esso or Mobil LT71141). But I have found contrasting threads on here. Some have tried Dexron 3 before and it lasted. Just want to ask, anyone had any experience with...

Took my 1995 106 Roland Garros for an MOT yesterday and it failed on rear service brake balance (Left 42 Kgf, Right 112 Kgf Imbalance 63%). Car has been parked up for about 5 years but no problems when last tested. I had taken the drum off and rubbed the shoes and drum with sandpaper. I also checked the auto adjuster was working by backing it...

I'm beginning to dislike this car very much...

It died when my wife was driving down the motorway yesterday. Apparently just lost power and she coasted to a stop on the shoulder. AA guy read the faults and was surprised about the 6 that were logged, but they are all ones I know about (EGR, turbo repeat, post heat relay, coolant bypass solenoid)....

Hi all
I have a partner 850 hdi 90 on an 2011 plate it's done 190000 mile always serviced on time blah blah .
It starts 1st time when cold and it runs perfectly, when it gets fully warmed up the engine shaped light comes on and it goes into limp home mode then if I stop the engine it takes forever to get it started again. Has anybody got any...

Just a quick query as to who the OEM supplier was for glow plugs on the HDi series of engines. Specifically the 8v 1.4 HDi of 2001/2.

The ones I removed were NGK, and knowing their reputation in the XUD series I'd be looking to avoid them unless they were original equipment. (obviously if they were the OEM supplier that's good since they've...

Which is the right colour for my 306 Meridian black leather seat (half) but it looks to be a dark grey it hard to compare on eBay they do sell leather dye like a shoes polish black, dark grey and charcoal. My is year 2001 and the reg number I gave to the seller it does not show on database so If I bought it the wrong one, I can not return it. Is...

Hi all, just managed to get PP2000 working this morning and read the codes on The Boss's 206 to see why it's dropped into limp mode. after a clearing of codes I'd thrown messing with the MAF and EGR plugs the one that keeps returning immediately is the dreaded pre-heater relay circuit - sparkplugs(sic) permanently supplied which I've not seen an...

Took my Boxer 1.9td camper out for a long run this weekend covering about 600miles and returning about 29mpg, pretty pleased to actually have the thing running again with hardly any leaks... :)

When I give it full throttle there's a large amount of black smoke from the exhaust - more so than from the previous engine I'd say (This engine was...

Where to locate the flywheel sensor and crankshaft sensor on the Peugeot 605. I can not find these.

Hi All,

I am wondering if anyone can offer there knowledge with this one - I have been searching a few threads and seen a few different suggestions but I am not sure where to start...

Start of the month I purchased a 2006 307 Estate SW 1.6 HDi with 95k on the clock - this was to be used solely as a run around. The car looked to be in good...

I got rid my C5 too much problem with suspension and airbag maybe I am unlucky. Now I got second new 306 estate 2001 HDI. I have fit cruise control stalk from my C5 and it already got clutch switch and wiring is direct fit which it mean I need software to active it. I am not really sure which version is for the 306? I have EML327 INTERFACE from my...

Hi
I have a 2008 Peugeot expert which needs some PAS fluid, what type do I need as I don’t have the handbook ?
Many thanks

Jut wondering if anyone has changed or cleaned an RHR EGR valve ? Its a sod to get to, right over the back, and one of the biggest issues is that its hidden behind the air intake pipe. My suspicion from looking at parts pictures and servicebox is that the intake pipe is held onto the turbo by a screw or nut, but there doesn't seem to be a way to...

The gearbox on my boxer motorhome is leaking from the end cap, it has been bodged with some unidentified hard gunk but I'd quite like to get a new end cap. Does anyone know what gearbox and oil goes in a '97 5 speed 1.9td boxer van and where I might find a new end cap? There was one on ebay a while back but the bolt pattern looked a bit different...

Hi, I recently bought a '97 boxer based 1.9td motorhome with about 80k on the clock and had it in the garage for an oil filler neck replacement and new alternator. Turns out the sump was leaking around the seal with the block so the mechanic removed it and found the main bearing cap closest to the gearbox had a crack in it....

The air con is not working on my recently purchased Peugeot 2009 308 1.6vti
i have had the system regassed without success, one thing i have noticed is that the compressor centre bolt is not rotating. Has anyone any suggestions as to the cause

Can anyone supply a diagram of the air con system including wiring and colour codes and location of the...

THE radiator on my 308 is very hot at the plastic top yet cold below this, the expansion tank is getting a feed from the top of the radiator, the water temp gauge reads 90c .The heater is hot.
Is this normal for this model as I have only just bought the car as i would expect the bottom of the radiator to be at least warm after long runs

Hi,
can you see some problem while the second gear swings down then up for about 100-200rpm while accelerating?
See the video

around 2 500 rpm there is a temporary rpm drop.

Thank you

I have just done the timing belt on a 207 1.6 HDi 2007. I used the pins to lock the crank, cam and pump. I turned the engine 12 times afterwards and rechecked the pins all went in. Oh and the tensioner pointer was still dead center.

I put the covers back on, replaced the engine mount and the bottom pulley with a new bolt at 35nm + 190 but I...

I have been looking for one of these at the right price for some time as my wife fancied a smaller car, I found one in Nottingham a few weeks ago and its in very good nick but doesn't seem to have had anything replaced on it since new!

Anyway, I have done the rear dampers and front drop links and its stopped rattling now. :-D

I have a couple of...

I need to top up the power steering fluid in the 407 and the recommendation is Total Fluide DA which seems elusive. It is an orange coloured oil and seems to be exactly the same as LDS, even sharing the same PSA specification. Are they in fact the same?

Does anyone who knows better think that it would be suitable and if not can they recommend a...

Our 406 HDi RHZ (220k km) has gear select problems. It locked itself into 3rd gear and with a lot of coaxing would select neutral to enable towing the short distance to the workshop but nothing else. (I can never be angry with a car that breaks down very close to home and keeps the inconvenience to a minimum!)

I have inspected both ends of the...

Hi guys, so traveling down the motorway at 70mph and the van comes to a halt with and awful sound, I’ve had a look and the cam belt has completely ripped apart and snapped.
The van is a 62 plate 1.6 turbo diesel not sure on the engine code yet.
I’m thinking the engine seriously damage so would it be worth while just putting in a low mileage second...

Ok so I said that Shaun was on his own but he asked me if I could help. His 107 has never been started since it's engine swap. The ignition lights flash when turned on then come steady, but there's nothing from the starter. He hasn't tried bump starting it. His car is 2012 and the £20 road tax. The engine came out of a 2012 car, but thats the year...

I've got the chance of a 2006 407 hdi 136 auto saloon at a good price (up for £800 ono). It's got 165K miles on the clock. I'm not put off by high-ish miles as long as it's been looked after. What are the things to look out for? I.E. things that will negate the good price. Needs a cam belt in another 15K. Apparently good bodywork and no obvious...

Hello All,

This is my first post here - however a number of existing threads on this forum have proved useful in the past - so thankyou!

I have a 2004 peugoet expert with a rather leaky fuel pump (CP1 bosch common rails). I have a set of replacement seals to do the repair however I am having trouble actually removing the pump. I have managed to...

Hello 307 2003 2.0 hdi

Turn key dash lights up but starter wont turn no electric fan ect but lights work well

My daugter has this last week called AA and they diagnosed as a low battery(2 month old platinum battery) but that is obviously B S as the starter motor would do something and the fan would work with the ignition on

It is very difficult...

Another problem guys. My 1.4 Hdi Peugeot 307 has started to vibrate. All the engine mounts are new as are most things on this car, any suggestions please and thank you
