Hello i am 18 and i just bought my first car Peugeot 307 2.0HDI 2001 and it was working. My dad drove it home as i am waiting for my drivers license and it was a good ride of 30km. Then after a few hours the same night there was just a click from the starter. I recharged the battery but nothing worked. Even weirder was that all the electronics...

I have just changed a timing chain on my 2010 Peugeot 308. The problem I am having is settling the timing. I have inserted the pin in the flywheel but it doesn't seem right. Can anyone help?

This is a question regarding the common fault with the 307cc door handles. There's another thread about it but as its a year old I thought I would start fresh. There is a sensor ( oh no, not another ) in the door handle that senses when your hand is about to open the door. It automatically drops the window a small amount, just enough to allow the...

Hi all. Can anyone help?

I had a slow starter the last week or so. On Monday it failed to start until the starter was tapped with a stick!

On Tuesday all was well for the first two trips of the day. On the third, however, nothing. Repeated the stick trick. Still nothing. So far so ordinary.

Somewhere in this process, it seems as if a relay has...

Hi all,

Had the rear discs & pads changed late yesterday on our 2017 3008 1.6 HDI. On the drive home I was hearing some pretty noticeable thuds/bangs from what sounded like the rear of the car, which weren't there before the disc/pads change.

I have always found the suspension to be relatively quiet, hence why I was quickly aware of these new...

Hi guys, I'm back again. Early days getting used to the new ride. 2006 307cc (petrol). So far my main gripe is the speedo. White with black numbers it is not easy to see, day or night. It's a RHD and I live in France so the kilometer numbers on the inner ring are much smaller than the MPH ones. I have noticed on ebay some s/h instrument clusters...

Hey guys.

I hope someone can help me ... I´ll try to explain everything I´ve done so far but still cannot make the speedometer and the odometer to work.

I bought a Peugeot 206 2004 (1.4 Gasoline Manual transmission with ABS) a few months ago and I thought that the issue was the speed sensor, however I didn´t know that the signal was supposed to...

308CC, 2012, Alure.
Changed stock wheel to alloys noticed it had TPMS valves and senders so all were swapped.
Last night I had to go out to her on the side of the road front passenger side making an odd noise and steering feel weird.
Turns out passenger front tyre was flat, thankfully only at the bottom! :-D
I enquired why she drove on it flat...

Just purchased my 2016 508 blue allure and it started to show engine overheating then the needle came back to about 80°. Checked the coolant level awas below minimum so used 1ltr and wow it drank it up. How big is the coolant reservoir? As in how many litres of coolant should I buy next 🤔

Can anybody help with the part number for the 'box' that holds the scissor jack on a 2008 307SW?

The box is in 2 parts and I would like to know the part number for the bottom section that actually contains the scissor jack if possible. Together with top and bottom parts this 'box' secures the spare wheel in place via a winch mechanism on my SW....

The drivers side door is dropping on my wife's 207cc, 2008, 11000 miles, so well used. The latch is catching the door metal as the door has droped and I can see this on the shut lines as well. I can see any adjustment on the hinges. Has anyone worked on this before? Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Colin.

Hello Admin,

I'd be very grateful if someone could give me the full build spec of my Peugeot Boxer based motorhome please. The VIN Number is VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] and the Engine Number is DZ354067870, it was first registered in the UK on 27-07-2006. If I can get the fuse designation for each of the 3 main fuseboxes and a wiring diagram that would be...

I drive my car with the heater on full blast when I come home I pull on the drive the car will not turn off . If I leave it running on my drive for 10 minutes then it will turn off this only happens when the heater is full on if it’s turned up half way I don’t have a problem. Had the battery checked nothing wrong with it . Changed the battery in...

Hello fellas,

I just took possession of this lil french lady a few days ago and spent the weekend all over those curves :mrgreen:
I'm looking to add a number of things to her starting with both an electrical & Webasto diesel heater.
My plan is to tap into the coolant line for the engine oil cooler marked in picture 4, but I do not know the flow...

I've been seeing people innocently posting on the Peugeot Boxer FB groups pages on a daily basis over the last few months asking why their heating is cold having already spent good money on the thermostat assembly. Invariably more wised up members are diagnosing these as pump failures despite having had a new one fitted recently

there's no...

Hello, I am wondering what is the difference between polychrome and monochrome matrix displays? I read somewhere polychrome are just white monochrome, and someone else said they have colours but are low resolution. Could anyone help me out here?

One of the things I more than love about the Peugeot 508 is the driver's seat. I have lower back issues. I tried all the office chairs on the market and was willing to pay even more than 1000 euros for one that does not trigger my back pains. I did not find one. The only chair that not only did not trigger my back pain but made my back much better...

Hello, the problem is that the engine is jerking, what I found out is that the ECU disconnects the EGR operation after some time.
The egr was replaced with a functional and calibrated one, but it did not change anything.

someone will help ?

My 3008 throws message Engine need to be repair or some.
By Lexia I have read the error code P1AE7 in Traction Battery ECU.

Early (2 years ago) it happends first and I check relays and got the resistanse of charging relay (OMRON G9EB) was about 35 ohm instead 72.

Hi all iv got 2015 peugoet partner 1.6hdi and looking for a bit of mechanical advice if I may please.. since iv owned the van its always had this annoying clunk sound when I'm coming off the brake pedal it's almost like a metallic sound so far iv checked all the metal parts and possible bushes related to the pedal mechanism and can't find anything...

Just carried out a monthly scan of my 2017 3008 1.6 HDI with 90k miles and it had B1811:96 for a fault in diesel fuel additive pump showing as intermittent, which I haven't seen before.

I did have the orange spanner symbol illuminate a few weeks ago but it had disappeared by the next start and it wasn't accompanied by a message relating to low...

I am faced with a choice. Recently purchased a s/h 2006 307cc. Engine is a 1997 (143hp) petrol. I have been driving diesels for the last 26 years so haven't been keeping up to speed with the tech. Here in France we are offered 95 and 98 which I assume has to do with the octane rating. Also I think the 98 has less of the ethanol crap added that...

Hello all! I would like some advice please from anyone with experience concerning the BSI and potential wiring faults.

My 2013 208 1.0 ZMZ petrol has all the symptoms above. This is at least partly down to no compression on one cylinder! That much I do know but here is my concern...

I also have the fault codes below so I am worried that the no...

Hey!

I'm desperately looking for the miniature version of my very Peugeot 3008 Mk1 in Vapor Gray colour (473840).

Namely:

It's obviously out of stock everywhere official, eBay (including Fr) only gets me different colour versions from time to time.

If you happened to find have one or bump into one for sale, I'm all ears. :)

Sorry admins if...

Hi everyone, hope everyone is well!

New to the forum, I joined for some desperate advice on a Peugeot 207 cc from 2006.

I have a Peugeot 207 cc from 2006 with a 1.6 HDi engine of 80kw.
I decided to do the installation of the cruise control and I bought an original (not from AliExpress) handle with limiter and cruise control. I checked for a 4...

I've got a DV6TED4 1.6HDi (110bhp) in my 207cc and I'd like to swap out the pressure regulator on the high pressure fuel pump.
The regulator is at 90 degrees to the pump drive shaft and held in with 3 hex head bolts but I can't work out how to get access to it.
Shoving my hand down the back of the engine at the cambelt end, I can feel the...

I have a 2018 Peugeot 3008 puretech, the car has had an intermittent fault, unlock the car and wing mirrors don't unfold, get in press the start button and nothing, eventually it will start. It makes a beeping noise like its giving a warning ( it has occasionally brought up battery charge fault), we replaced the battery a few months ago and it...

Hi guys,

I have some new seat covers to fit to our 304 cabrio, but cannot see how to remove the backrest adjusting knob. There's a big chrome insert in the knurled knob, which I would expect to just pop out access to a nut or something - but it doesn't ! Anyone know how to remove this, as I don't want to risk damage? May well be the same on other...

Hi all.

Trying to replace the thermostat on 5008 2.0 hdi 2011... Everything came off apart from that bolt that clamps the hose at the back of thermostat ,the one that has a fork... Its very awkward to get to with any spanner.... And frankly after few attempts the bolt might be slightly rounded
Any tips to get out of this pickle?

Thanks

Hello Admin Team,

I'd be very grateful if someone could give me the full build spec of my van please, VIN VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff].

Hi guys. Need some advice. Recently had the battery changed on my car. And occasionally the “ ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT FAULT” light comes on. The car still drives as it should. It comes on now and again not always… has anyone got any idea what it can be?

Hi, I wondered if someone could help me please.

I own a 2007 Peugeot 207cc with a faulty ABS pump. I have been trying to find a used one but have been told I haven’t got the correct serial no. The one I have been providing starts ‘1009’ but have been told that I need the one starting with ‘96’. My mechanic rechecked the pump but could not find...

have a 2016 Peugeot Expert Traveller van, 2.0 HDI 150HP with 215k KM manual.
Shifting into 1st and 2nd is rough when the car is in motion, even 5km/h.
It feels like I cannot push the car into gear, it is just stuck when going into either 1st or 2nd from neutral, all other gears work fine.
If the car is standing still, I can smoothly shift into...

Hi all,

Owner of a Peugeot 206, 52 plate.
My car has a misfire and is using a large amount of coolant.
I took it to Formula One Autocentre. They identified it as a misfire (needing new coil pack and spark plugs) and charged me £160 for the pleasure.

There is steam/smoke sometimes coming out of the exhaust, it doesn't misfire all the time. I've...

My 407 doesn't have heated seats so I bought a set of heated leather seats to replace mine. All connectors seem to fit, except for a 6 pin connector which my car has, but was not connected to the old seats and is not wired correctly for the new seats.

On the new seats, pins 2, 4, 5 are populated. This cable splits and takes 2 different paths. One...

So I've had the battery waring light come on a fe wtimes in the last few weeks but only in the mornings on the way to work when its cold (eg 7/8 C) and only after driving say 1 km.

Car starts fine.

I tend to turn around to go back home (just in case) but half way back home it disappears.

Ive stuck a voltage monitor and it read 11 volts when...

I was driving home today in my 2001 Partner Combi 1.9d (without air con) and due to temporary traffic lights on the two busiest roads in the city, both of which are on my route without taking a 20 mile detour. When I got to the second set I was stuck in queues for around 20 minutes; during this time the coolant temp rose to where I would expect...

Well, I took a leap into the unknown and bought a 2006 307cc. This will be the newest car I've ever owned, and in fact the newest I've ever even sat in. The cost of second hand cars here in France is totally crazy and since my good experiences with cars here in the last 20 years have been Pugs I went for another. This one was chosen due to price....

Anyone have any experience of working on the 5th gear from the wheel arch. When the liner is taken out the gearbox end cover looks clear and possible to work on. Any advice?

Hi everyone

I’ve used my diagnose on my daughters 107. It diagnosed the fault. We repaired it all sorted

However on my Peugeot 308 sport 2008 and 2010

It shows fault codes but not the problem

I’m not a mechanic but have been improving skills

I splashed out on diagbox and it prefers 7.62 version on these older vehicles

I’ve replaced many...

Hi
Im looking for some guidance with a problem with my daughter 2008 207 1.4 8V manual. Having driven it with a coolant leak the head gasket failed and I have replaced it and had the head skimmed. New bolts were used and the thermostat housing on the side of the cylinder head was replaced which was the location of the leak. I have followed the...

Hi there,
help/advice needed please 🙂
My 19yr old Partner Escapade just had a new timing belt fitted... the second one in 117,000 miles.
It was due a new one anyway but a month before fitting, the engine started chugging even once it was warmed up and about week before it went into the garage it had lost a lot of power.
We queried poss injector...

So, where to start!
My old head unit with sat nav (RT4) has packed up, Random restarts, freezes so I've ordered an Android Headunit with can bus.

AC would start just fine on this Android UNIT, but 1 day the usual AC Pump click was gone.

So I went to kwik fit to get my ac refill, as last time it got filled up when I bought the car like 3 years...
