Hi Guys and Gals,
A few days ago I posted a question for a friend and even got the car model wrong (amongst other things). I'm ever so sorry.
I've copied and pasted the original question with the model correction. Hope one of you can help. x

Hi Guys and Gals, I'm posting for a friend (I'm usually on the Citroen page for my Xantia).

Hi a couple of days ago I sat in my car at idle (2011 1.6l 3008) and could feel it was a bit lumpy/rough but didn't think much of it. So the next day I drove from Birmingham to London and after around 80 miles I had a warning come up on the dash Engine Fault, Repair Needed so pulled over to the hard shoulder as I think I momentarily lost power, so...

My 207SW doesn't have them and thinking they are a pretty good idea I plan to fit some. Plan A is to hang them from the large plastic moulding that runs transversely across the grille.
So my questions are: Has anyone fitted drls to a 207? Did you run into any unforseen problems? If you have fitted some, where did you fit yours?

Hi All,
about 45mm broke off the end of my dipstick, about 5mm above the MAX mark so I can't just 'fill to MAX'.
I know it's still in the tube because the new one won't go in completely. I was thinking of draining the engine oil and blowing air from a vacum cleaner through the sump plug hole in the hope that the plastic tip might fly out. Could...

Hi everyone,

I'm about to replace inlet manifold gaskets of my Peugeot 406 1.8 16V (XU7JP4 LFY) petrol engine.

Do I need to apply grease on new gaskets before installation? Some say it is necessary, some say the opposite! I'm confused!

I didn't find the tightening sequence of intake manifold bolts. Does anyone have the pattern?
Is the...

Hi guys.

Have a favour to ask for advice and guidance.

My uncles 806 has had to have some welding - not a massive shock. With the battery removed he's lost the code in the radio as well as the code for it.

Hes bought two spare CD players, as it was a bundle deal and he hopes one will work ok and to upgrade from his tape deck.

The model number...

My son just bought his real first car. Its well specced and ge got a good deal as he works for the dealership (apprentice tech). Anyone got any experience with this little car. It seams to get really good reviews as a nippy we drivers car. The other thing is, his deans have the satnav option but is this a complete different system or do they all...

I thought I posted about this already, but I can't find a relevant post.
My van is now 20 years old and needs a bit of painting for touch-up.
I found info here about point codes being found on the door tyre pressure label, or a stencil on the strut turrets. Unfortunately I don't have a paint code in either of those places, so had to ask local...

Ok, just recently purchased this car, very comfortable to drive, so much adjustment on the seat.

I got the 2.2 HDI twin turbo engine 168bhp apparently. Turbo kicks in quite early.

The only thing ive noticed is the power. I had before a 2005 Ford mondeo TDCI 130, which has 129bhp. So i would like to imagine there should be a big difference in...

Hi all,

I've recently been trouble shooting an issue with my 2000 306 hdi 90. The problem has been a slight but very noticeable hesitation/miss on acceleration through about 1700-2100rpm. It's especially bad at 2000rpm.

I've been looking into a few things - most notably the EGR, the TPS and the MAF.

Today things got a whole lot worse.. I was...

Got myself the Diagbox and the adaptor for my Peugeot.

Ran a full scan and a couple of faults have shown up.

The car starts, and runs fine. Although now and again, when not moving very fast (1st gear speed) the power steering might feel or a second or two, as if its not assisting enough.

I have attached a screen shot of the report file.

So,...

Finally after years of wanting one, I got one (this'll teach me to impulse buy).
I was under the impression all 407 coupes had front parking sensors? Mine doesn't, and that front end isn't the easiest to judge :rofl2:
I've still got to spend some time getting to grips with all the buttons, never seen so many, and the damn voice control isn't...

Hi all, just had to be recovered, I'm at home but the car is at a depot 40 miles away so I can't check anything. Put my foot down to overtake, heard a bang, sudden loss of power. Cruising at 50 mph all seemed good. Checked for warning lights, temps etc., all fine. Got to the station to pick my son up and coolant was dripping heavily from the rad....

Hi I have replaced my bsi ecu and key fob from a donor cat but now I have the mileage from both cars I have the vin number from the donor car is there any way to get just my original mileage I’d appreciate any help thank you.

Hi all.

I have an issue with the audio on the 308, it will intermittently cut out every now and then, I am aware there is a service bulletin out for this one although when I have visited my local Peugeot dealer, they have advised the vehicle needs a new contract via Peugeot connect, which I do not believe to be true.

I have downloaded the TSB...

Hi

I have a 11 reg Peugeot 207 1.4 Diesel which has 98000 miles on the clock. Recently after filling up, the 'Fuel additive level too low' error appeared.
My question is - Is this something only Peugeot garages can change and reset the ECU or do you know if any other garages are able to do it?
My local Peugeot garage has quoted £250-£300 to...

Hi all, prob been answered a million times but I’m a dullard and can’t quite get my head around the answer. I want to fit a front mount to my d turbo engined Citroen c15. Which intake manifold do I need? One from a 406 1.9td or from an hdi?

Thaaaaanks!

I have a mysterious drivetrain rumble, and am wondering how I work out which bit it is.

1997 Expert TD van, 158000 miles, so getting a bit tired. Have owned since 2000 and not had any drivetrain trouble - just had to replace the gaiters in last few years. Or put another way everything is old. Oh yes, and it's the original NA gearbox with a 1994...

Guys the wife's car has just pinged the above code. 208 on a 63 plate 1.2 petrol. Any clues?

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone has any ideas what could cause my peugeot 207 1.6hdi to have lost its power. I can drive it fine its just that if i put my foot down nothing happens it just carries on with its extremely slow acceleration (which is even worse up hill). It used to be pretty nippy. I have had the EGR anti pollution fault limp mode in the...

Evening Gents,

I managed to get the 207 back together this afternoon.

I've recut the injector seats, replaced the copper washers, the black seals at the top and the white injector protector that sits right at the top of the cylinder. I've primed the fuel system using the bulb on the top of the engine and have checked that there's definitely...

Hi Guys and Gals, I'm posting for a friend (I'm usually on the Citroen page for my Xantia).

She has a 2003 Peugeot 206 SW DIESEL TURBO (2 litre) and has spasmodic starting problems. Sometimes it starts on the first turn on the key and then other times it doesn't BUT once its been started in the morning its OK for the rest of the day. When it...

What is the spec on the fluid for that Peugot/Aisin auto box?. This is a proper epicyclic box on a Black Hack auto. I know older boxes were JWS 3309 as in my Vel Satis, but what is the latest Mobil version of oil for that new box?

Here again, doing my swede now. Looked at getting a trailer and my mate's 3.5T tipper to recover the 407, but the tow bar doesn't match the hitch height. Next choice is a mate with a Landrover and a solid towing bar. Then looked up towing an auto with all wheels on the floor. Apparently it's not a good idea as the gearbox doesn't get properly...

The brake pedal is hard even with engine running. It has done this occasionally in the past but getting worse. There is a vacuum from the pump. She also had mentioned the engine revs sometimes drop like a big load has been applyed. Looking online seems to suggest the booster(servo) is likely to be the problem. Anyone offer help or advice if it is...

....when the engine is warm, try cranking it, but not allowing it to fire up (eg by disconnecting the 12v feed to the Engine Stop solenoid). If compression is down on one cylinder, you'll hear the cranking accelerate every fourth compression. With reference to Chris' response elsewhere on the Forum, I thought I'd give this a go for myself, having...

My bombproof, everlasting 406 Hdi has just let me down, but has now recovered. :? Yesterday I filled it right up with fuel, pulled out onto the Axminster bypass, put my foot down and very little happened except a lot of black smoke, I had to use 3rd to get up there, normally 5th. There was no sign of any turbo boost whatsoever although the smoke...

I had the timing slip the other day and concluded that a follower had broken. I managed to get it running again with some ether spray so I could get it nice and hot in order to get the injectors out. Next day it would not turn with the starter motor. All I get is rythmic clicking off various relays. Also the yellow engine logo is lit. The key is...

Hello all,

I am looking to replace both front wings on my mums 206 1.6 2006 and have read that its a really simple and quick job. I am not a mechanic or panel beater but am very practical and feel confident enough to do the job.

I can see where most of the bolts are located, but there seems to be one behind the front bumper which I am having...

Hi
My 2010 207 1.6hdi (50k) has an occasional chirp that seems to come from the crank pulley area at tick over. I bought a cheap new replacement pulley mail order which I fitted but the noise is still there. To eliminate I removed the aux belt, the noise was still there so I then remove the pulley and started the engine, all quiet.
Question is,...

Pls I want wiring diagram for Peugeot partner 2013 for cooling engin van and wiring diagram for alternator

This is on a 2005 1007. Engine runs on when ignition key is switched off (and removed). All runs as normal as do the electrics, once stalled the ignition & electrics is off. You can also kill the engine by unplugging the larger connector on the ignition switch.

I have tried 3 different ignition switches, changed the fuel filter, changed the BSM,...

I bought a 207 HDi for Cheryl the other day.

I noticed when looking around it before buying that it needed a couple of bulbs but thought nothing of it. When we got it home yesterday I tried to change the bulbs and noticed that they still didn't work.

I took the plugs off the headlights and metered the plugs. I was getting 6v at some of the pins...

Just spent today dismantling bits of a 207 for a friend. Two drop arms and two lower suspension ball joints. Couple of hours on the front garden, job done. Drop arms, covered in crap and seized, that was the easy bit. Lower ball joints..LHS unscrewed with a pipe wrench and a 1m bar! RHS wouldn't because it tried to pull the driveshaft out the...

Is there a way to print diagrams from servicebox? Or is it a case of 'print screen' then start cropping etc?
Cheers in advance

Hi,

Just as an introduction, I am Dutch, normally driving on the right hand side, except when visiting the UK with my French camping car on a Fiat Ducato chassis having a Peugeot 1.9TD XUD9 engine (2001) and a Bosch injection pump. This latter information I have figured out until now by reading through this forum.
I read a lot and i'm puzzled a...

Some of you may remember me droning on about the fuel consumption of my recently acquired 406 Hdi estate some years ago, it would always give me 60 + mpg on a long run but the two I have had since that one got written of by water in the electronics have only ever returned about 55 mpg. I put it down to defective calibration.

I have tried all...

hiya,

A few weeks ago display in my car has gone, also together with display I've lost CD, radio and satnav and parking sensors :( now I know 2 errors codes:
F55FF-unexpected reinitialization fault coming from the built-in system interface (BSI) and F023 lost communications with the multifunction display ECU/telematic unit :shock: :shock:

Got a chap in the village who wants to French his car. Done the headlights. It then failed the CT on:
1 Various suspension problems...will go and see the tester for a more accurate account, but seems like bushes.
2 Boot won't shut, you can lock it with a screwdriver across the gate with the tailgate open, and can lock the car on the central...

I'm looking for a 2011 to 2013 Peugeot 207SW with moderate mileage to replace my now very long in the tooth Citroen ZX. Are there any particular things I should be looking for? Any common faults..? My brother has a 207SW and he's happy enough with his, as he was with his previous 206. Any thoughts welcome... Thanks.

Edit: No replies as yet, so...

Hi all, I would like to change the HP Fuel sensor attached to the common rail. Before I do it I believe I need to de-pressurise the HP Fuel System. Does anyone know a good link on how to do this.

Many Thanks

Hello All

First post and asking for your help and guidance. [-o<

My 5008 has just failed it's MOT with low efficiency on the parking brake (handbrake). It only scored 12%.

The garage removed the rear wheels and had a thorough look at the cables, calipers, cleaned, etc and it still failed. They commented on how good everything looked and that...

Just a quick question regarding the addition of the fluid. Is the quantity of fluid injected in to the tank dependant on the quantity of diesel added, or is a standard dose irrespective? I've read various conflicting views on this. Thanks

Hi .... I have an 2005 607 HDi 2.0 ..80k miles ..

When the engine is cold it will not rev past 3000rpm ..And creates quite a lot of white smoke. When i first start the car when cold and go to maximum revs (which I know is not a good idea!) it will hold but then missfire and drop to 3000rpm .. When the engine gets to normal running temperature it...

I'd appreciate it if you guys could cast your eye over my fault logs below. I'd thought initially that the BSI is playing up but I'm not so sure.

Car: 2008 Peugeot 407 2.0 HDI 136, 117k miles

Summary of problem: Random shutdown of engine (mostly when at idle or in slow moving traffic) and various dash faults (ABS/ESP/DPF). A restart of the car,...

I have just got a 207 running with a new injector but PP2000 wants an 8 digit code and the injector has 10 digits on the sticker. The original injectors have 9 and the last digit is simply dropped when programming but I don't want to guess how which 8 digits to use and cause an issue.

Any information would be great. Thanks.

Hi guys,
Bought a can of CRC gdi inlet valve cleaner to remove some of the carbon crud on my 308 cabriolet 1.6 thp engine.
Any ideas as to where the MAF sensor is located and where's the best place to spray the cleaner forward of this? Cleaned everywhere else and only other thing that's making the car hesitate is the carbon build up....I think....

Does anyone know the total fluid capacity of Peugeot 206 1.9D power steering system?
Thanks in advance
