Good evening folks,

I've just got hold of a lovely low mileage 106, 18,500 with one previous owner.

It runs beautifully most of the time, however it's over-revving when I change gear, sometimes it revs to 4000rpm and stays there until I turn the car off, it seems fine once I restart it.

Has anyone had this before? Do I need to be looking at...

Well my little 206cc paid me back big time yesterday when i traded up for a 308cc 1.6hdi se. The 206cc smashed over half the asking price off the other car so I'm pleased .Photos will come in a few days.

Hi, everybody.

I'm doing a complex project in which I'm retrofitting a Cirocco cluster (i-Cockpit) from a 2021 Peugeot 3008 into my old '07 Peugeot 307 and after getting it to work properly and wrapping up the whole process... I realized A/C doesn't work.

It seems that A/C signal comes and goes through the original cluster (pins 14/5; 5/14, I'm...

I waved goodbye to the 207 as it drove off on the back of a flat bed truck and sat in this 2015 peugeot 2008 it felt like a first date, your not sure what to say ... so I was looking through the service history and say 2 words that made me want to run and get the 207 back ... wet belt .... now how would I know if it is I thought these where dry I...

Hello, I have a Peugeot 308 2018 diesel 1.6 Blue HDI 120hp DV6FC with AM6 automatic gearbox. It all started after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, or at least that's what the client says. I'm not sure if that's true.

So, the problem is, the car cranks, but won't start. There are a lot of errors, and the message immo active appears on...

Hi everyone, I have changed the rear reducer (differential) on my 508 RXH, now I have to do the airing on the cooling system, and I was told that there are like 4 or 5 points where to bleed the system, 2 under the hood, 1 on the electric motor and one on the inverter.
Has anyone done this before? or does anyone know the steps to take to bleed the...

Going to replace the trusty C5 X7 with something smaller as 99% of the time it's only me in the car. Still doing a decent amount of motorway miles so looking for something with decent MPG and low maintenance costs. Won't be keeping for more than a couple of years. Would like to stay with the French for the distinctive looks hence the RCZ...

I have cold running trouble with the better halfs 207. It is a 2010 1.4VTi. It hunts at idle and runs on kangaroo juice until it warms up.

No codes but I think I have found an issue in Live Data. In the picture you will see the revs going up and down OK but the pressure in the manifold remains constant at -1270. It does move plus or minus 3 or 4...

I've recently bought an e-308 GT, 2025 model, rhd. The foot rest has no protection for the carpet and I imagine this will soon start to wear. All the official foot rest protectors seem to made only for left-hand drive models. Does anyone know where I can get one to fit a rhd?

Something that has plagued me since i got the car.

The drivers side window, always forgets is motion of travel, meaning that i can lower the window and it will go down as normal, but to close it, it goes up in increments, i can get it to relearn its stops, but only as long as the ignition is on and the engine is running. the moment i turn the...

I have a coolant leak on my Boxer and am wondering if it's something I need to take a look at or if it's okay to just top up with coolant when it drops down.

It leaks around 120-150ml per month.

It can't quite get to see exactly where it leaks out but these are the best photos I could get.

The pipe marked with X in both pictures is the same....

Hi all, the golden child has started misbehaving, and I'm not able to help for a while!

Looking for some ideas TU5 307SW CAN. Unfortunately I'm away at sea for another week, so I'm working from my dad's description of what happened.

Battery keeps discharging in a couple of days from full.

Here's a strange one for you. My C.T. tester (MOT in UK) pointed out that my high brightness rear fog light is on the wrong side, RH. It is supposed to be on the LH side for a French registered car. So somehow it didn't get spotted when the car was first imported here from UK. I wonder if anyone has worked knows if the side can be changed without...

Hi all. Got a bit of strange one. When I press unlock only side door opened others I have to use physical key to unlock it. When I press the lock button it works as it should. No fault codes. Thanks in advance

Hello all.

I am stumped about the Eolys fluid business. I have searched the posts here and also Google.

I have a 2017 Peugeot Boxer, 2.0 BlueHdi 160 bhp. I am being advised that I should check the PAT fluid level, however, I have no idea where the tank is on the van.

I have the Adblue tank, and have even been under the van looking for another...

I'm chasing an intermittent kangarooing/shuddering issue, mainly when the engine is warm and under load.

Symptoms:

Rev counter fluctuates by around 100–200 rpm when it happens.

Occasionally feels like the engine is going to stall.

Hello
I've got a strange issue on my 407 1.6HDi.
When stood overnight, at start up it sounds like it needs to build oil pressure/fill the filter. Just like after an oil change (light rattle).
Does not do it after a work day, so time dependent.

History: Recently re-sealed the oil filter/oil cooler housing + new filter and oil (Purflux filter and...

Hi All
I’m hoping someone else has had this problem, ok I’ve got a Peugeot Boxer 2001, and I’ve noticed whilst fitting a new speedo cable that oil is leaking around the plastic retainer which goes into the gearbox, I’ve fitted a new rubber O ring seal thinking this will do it unfortunately not , so I thought I’d ask on here as people has helped me...

Hello guys,

I have a 2015 308 SW II with 1.6 BHY diesel engine. The car seems to have had it's ECU(?) remapped to ignore DPF and EGR errors.

I want to restore the car as original and replace DPF and SCR catalyst if they are found to need replacing. My mechanic says he is not an expert and getting original files from Peugeot is very costly....

Hi!
Long story short: I had my injectors replaced. The first run after that was super good. Smooth and steady. Then they were coded with Texa. Now when cold the car loses power, there is white-grey-ish smoke (more smell that visual) and you can clearly hear the injectors. This happens up to 40-50C and then all runs ok. The injectors are audible...

Hi wonder if you could help, I have a Peugeot 3008 2L diesel hybrid 4 2013 and I have gearbox oil coming out of the breather pipe on the reduction gear, it has the correct oil Total 75w-80 and the correct amount 0.7 of a Litter after a run I get droplets of oil coming out of the breather pipe on the reduction gear, there are no faults in any...

So I have just done an engine swap and it sounds like it's down a cylinder.

Injectors 1 and 4 were remanufactured units from PFJ injectors 2 and 3 were tested and passed but it looks like number 2 might now be dead. Flow correction is constantly 15mm3

Screenshot of data. Am I right?

My Dec '99 Pug 806 Hdi has given me great service since I bought it in 2002
For about 6 years it's been pretty much mothballed with only about 1,000 km per year usage, mainly on trips to the tip where she's really usefull.
Because of the above it's not had a spanner on it for ages & the whilst it still passes the 2 yearly CT (MOT) the list of...

After battery going flat speedo now shows kph, how to change back to mph
thanks Joe

It looks like the old parts number lookup service is no longer functioning. I have been using a website called partsouq.com/ . It has well-detailed drawings and lists part codes for all the things on the drawings. Using those codes I have been able to track down almost all the parts I need.
Today I find that I can't enter the site without setting...

Hi all,
I recently did some work on driveshaft so needed to drain gearbox oil. Refilling it through breeder valve at top of the box. Long story short I took battery out for 2 days. After connecting it noticed that my folding mirrors stopped folding when locking the car. Didn’t bother me much at the time but then noticed that even when cold start...

Just a short post on my experience with Febi parts on a 2012 208 1.4d.

Two and a half years ago, when replacing the clutch, I did some 'while you're in there' jobs and purchased the following parts from Febi Bilstein.

Track rod ends x2
Lower arms X2
Drive shaft seals x2

The car has covered 20k miles since and I've just noticed one of the lower...

Ok,

I have persistent brake squeal on our 309 DTurbo. This only occurs on very light braking.

To rewind a bit we replaced front pads and discs mainly because the front right pad set had significantly more wear than the left. The calliper sliders on right were binding.

Car uses Girling callipers

On fitting the parts, I freed up (or I thought I...

First thing, I'm not sure where to put this, so it is here in the Peugeot forum because the problem is with my 307. I'm sure that it will be moved to the correct forum by an ever-vigilant moderator.

Neither the driver's side exterior mirror nor the heated rear window of my 307SW are heating. The passenger side exterior mirror is heating. Tracing...

I have not been successful in repairing the radiator of my 205 td.

The price of new ones are crazy.
The original rad is 55mm thick.
I can buy an aluminium rad at a great price but it is 42mm thick, whereas an alu one of 55mm runs to 300€ plus

Would the fact that it is alu and new maybe mitigate against the fact that it is slimmer ?

Hi all,

Hoping someone can help clear up a genuine mix-up on my oil spec.

Hi

I was told 2021, use B71.2290 which I did.
2023 timing belt too wide > replaced.
2024 use only B71.2010
2025... now use FPW9.55535/03

Could you please crosscheck with my VIN?
vr3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Do you recommend testing the belt throughout the year with a belt width tool? In addition to the yearly service.

Thank you!

Hi everyone.

Hope someone can help please? I am rebuilding dv6fcu in peugeot expert. I have followed torque specs when placing bearing caps on. At 10nm on the bearing bolts crank rotates freely. When the 15 m6 bolts are tightened to 8nm and the bearing bolts are backed off 180 degrees and then tightened to 30nm the crank will no longer rotate....

I have no qualifications in engineering,but I KNOW that the Prince Engine in my RCZ 1.6 is designed to run too hot.It might help with emissions and aid direct injection,but it thins the oil,aiding and abetting the terrible oil consumption of that engine,and bakes the plastic components.
I saw a post on the site whereby a member ran a wire from the...
