I got a kit for setting the camshaft timing on the 1.6 vti, 2008, petrol engine. The engine has not been running as it should for some time now, lumy starting and occassional misfire.
I've made a small adjustment to the the camshaft as per the kit, all ok. I've checked the chain tensioner (twice) with the special tool (as illustrate in Haynes) and...

Hi everyone. Hoping someone could give me some advice on what to check on my Peugeot partner 1.6hdi 2008. The van is very erratic over 3000rpm, it will go up to 3200 and drop straight back to 3000 very quickly. The exhaust rattles pretty bad at the back while it's doing this but think it's probably because the surging? I did start to notice a loss...

Hi, I saw a box hanging down the left side of my 2010 3008, its next to the exhaust and close to the petrol tank, connected to a thin and thicker tube. The fixing bolt was out, and a steel plate covered it partly, what size bolt can I buy to fix it again?

Hello,

I just joined the forum and wondered if there are any old school Peugeot fans on here? I have some tech questions about XUD & DW8 engines, and also happy to share my high mileage experiences. However, looking through the recent posts, they are all concerning much later models.

Any interest?

I've just noticed from my tyres (outside edges quite badly scrubbed) that my wheel alignment is bad (probably very bad). This isn't at all surprising as in the last couple of years I've replaced both front suspension arms and one track rod end and not actually got round to checking it (yes I know, I am a bad, lazy, false-economy Wook). A bit of...

So my starting woes continue. I thought it was the inline fuel pump (it obviously didnt come factory installed).

I have a clicking sound emanating from under the engine cover.

Here is a YouTube video of it.

Thoughts?

Here is an update.

I set the camera, turn the ignition on. I then turn...

Hi All, I have been having some issues with Variable valve lift on my 1.4Vti 2010 vintage. ( Long winded previous thread ) During my t/shooting its become obvious the cam bearings are badly scored and the engine had been run low on oil / overheated at some stage . It also was a heavy oil user. I`ve decided its not worth fixing and dropping in a...

Hi all i hope you are all keeping well,

Dear experts, I am new to this forum and I am in a juncture of either refurbished my existing head or sourcing for new / used ones.

My engine is XN1 2.0L from a '75 504 with original XN1 head.

I read from various source but I cannot confirm this, that XN1A head are having 4 inlet ports instead of 2 ports of XN1.
I am aware the XN2 from Ti engine...

Hello everyone,

My name is David and I live in Ethiopia. Please excuse my newbie questions and lack of automobile knowledge. Buying a new(ish) car is pretty expensive here, so my wife and I have bought a 1973 504GL for our first car. I am sorting out issues one by one since I can't afford to get everything done in one go. The biggest issue I have...

After having a major service performed on my 2006 Partner van I discovered this:

20220226_133848.jpg

It had an issue with shutting down mid journey without warning.

Got it back from garage and saw that they had NOT checked all fuel lines - assuming this is an inline fuel pump that needed a new jumper wire direct to the fuse panel.

As can be...

Hi, I have some previous threads re looking for a replacement 1.4Vti engine for a 308 2010. I`ve located a 1.4Vti engine from a Citroen C3 2011. The breaker tells me its a KFT code so not the same code as my engine EP3 / 8FS. He says his research says its not a match, and he has researched the head , the block and the injectors ? . I am hopeful it...

Can someone please give me a solution for my Peugeot 3008 1.6 THP, the temperature gauge jumps to red when the car starts and engine is still cold, this causes the fan to go on, this problem is intermittend, and only when the car is cold. Its a 2010 model, 1.6 156HP (5FV/5F02 / EP6CDT), with 142000km.
Thanks.

In trying to fix my broken ODB socket (someone broke the surround so it falls thru), I tried to pull out the gear shift silver console starting from the cup holder.

I figured it would pop out but alas it did not.

I'm now left with a mismatch bump in the interface between the gear surround and the cup holder, which I suspect is due to the...

Hi I am getting gray hair over my 406er, so hope there are some in this fine forum who have the golden grain,

Hi!

I'm looking for some educational material about this platform. Principal diagrams, CAN communication, pipes and wirings and so on. I'd like to go a bit deeper into the logic of my new toy.

Any available information will be welcome. Thank you!

Hi!

I'm looking for a wiring diagram of the mirrors. The left one can be adjusted without any issue but the right one doesn't move at all. I'm switching the selector, so the problem should be between it and the wires to the door and the mirror. The car is LHD. VIN: VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Regard!

My 407 came with the driver's side view rear mirror with a nice painted cover and one ugly unpainted (black) passenger rear side view mirror cover (I assume due to an unfortunate accident).

Googling I saw some Chinese chrome mirror covers that would fix the unpainted and hopefully make the car look smarter and cost around AUD$20 delivered (less...

How can this be adjusted ? Mine seems to have dropped toward the front of the car making the going up difficult I'm having to push the glass back about an inch then it goes up normal any diagrams , help , thanks

How do you reprogram the central locking buttons after the battery has been replaced?

So, have the ASB/ ESP error come up (on and off)

Diag says C1325 left rear speed sensor aka ABS sensor faulty

Took the wheels off and the ABS sensor cable was a bit so so (eg 18 years old in the rain and wind etc )

Look at the Peugeot instructions and they said take the fuel tank out

Given mine was 3/4 full, that would not work for me

If...

It looks like I will be replacing the gearbox on my wife's car; 207cc, 1.6l vti, 2008.
I've seen other threads showing a position above and to the rear of the clutch slave cylinder/actuator lever as where the box should be marked with the number. I've clean the area and just can't find the number. The other location listed is a label on the end...

Last year i fitted 2 new drop links to my car
Today they look like they have been on it for 15 years the rubbers have cracked so bad you can see inside them what the heck is going one ? Never in my days have i ever seen this.

Anyone else had the same with other components ?

Hi Guys and girls.
Im new here to this forum site so HI to all.
I’ve recently purchased a 2014 Pug Boxer with the 2.2 hdi engine.
The engine is (apparently) kaput. The guy at the garage said the piston rings have gone.
So., im on the case of sourcing another engine. These 2.2 hdi 2014(complete) engines seem hard to come by. I have seen a few...

When i put in the reverse gear i hear a long beeeeep for maybe 5-6 seconds and then it stops, and then nothing.....
Nothing on any display and no beep beep beep :-(
What is wrong?

Peugeot 307CC 2004

Good evening everybody...

Wondered if anyone else has had issues with a starter motor packing up and dying on them several times. I've had it replaced 3 times now in 2 years. What could be causing the issues. Any help or advice appreciated.

Allright guys,
After doing a ton of work on my 2008 308 1.6 HDi i've got a problem regarding the turbo's vnt, It don't work..

Hi

I have a Peugeot 308 Gt 180 E HDI.

I have heavy black smoke under acceleration, so much so the DPF blocks inside a month. I bought the car with this fault & have gradually worked through it's issues. So far I have replaced the fuel filter as it was partially blocked, full service inc new air filter, new battery as it was flagging abs issues...

Hi all,

I've got a Peugeot 308 2.0 HDI diesel. Love the car but have started to consider adding a couple bits to make it a bit more fun. Looking at turbos and obviously it's not a car thousands are modding and turbo kits are hard to find. I'd wondered how easy/difficult it is to install on this engine. I know there is a version (might be the 1.6)...

Hello all. I'm trying to swap out my instrument cluster with one from a 206 automatic.

:( so using the car today there was a creaking knock sound from the front so i stopped pulled over turned the steering wheel and front the suspension leg there was a creaking knock sound, i used the car a few days ago and it was fine.

Is this a dry mount bearing thing as the spring seems fine or is this early failure. #-o

Hello, I'm new to the forum and the French car.

About the car...
I bought my 2012 508 GT 2.2 Auto a few days ago. I believe the BSM is bad. As soon as you wake the car up, it has a loud fast clicking noise coming from the BSM module.
This is where it gets interesting. When...

Hello

I bought a second-hand Expert E7 taxi and I love it. However, I managed to get a towel stuck in the kerb-side rear sliding-door and now I am unable to open the door. Because of this, the taxi cannot be MOT'd.

My question is this. Do any of the controls in the cab lock the side-doors preventing them from being opened- bit like a...

Hi all,

The other half's 57 plate 207 (1.6 petrol auto) has thrown up the dreaded anti pollution fault. Happened about a month back, and local garage have had it in and recommended stripping the engine and replacing the timing chain, at a cost of £800. I'm really uneasy about it to be honest, on the basis that their diagnostics kit wasn't Peugeot...

I have a 2008 expert tepee. My suspension warning light came on yesterday. Ran global check today and communication error comes up against pneumatic suspension with fault saying cannot communicate with ECU or level sensors. Does this point towards a failed ECU? I have looked at all 30a fuses under dash and appear to be ok ( however fuse and relay...

Hi all,
I noticed that my car (508 2.0 163hp 2011 323000km) has developed some issue.
Issue is that when i first start my car in the morning, it turns on well, but engine noise is loud and i can feel and hear interior plastic moving (cant find proper term for this). Also RPMs are high on startup, and they stay around 900 RPMs for couple minutes...

The only way to close my bonnet on the 407 Hdi is to let it drop from around a foot and even then it sits very tight on the front bar panel.

I've screwed the rubber spacers on each side all the way down.

I've undone the nuts holding the catch mechanism to see if it can be adjusted but no joy, and its seems my next best option is to take the...
