French Car Forum

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 I have a 2016 308 gtline sw

My question to the group is my dashboard is like a Christmas tree atm due to abs speed sensor that was diagnosed with rac. (New battery fitted )

Does the loom for rear right abs sensor go through the whole car then plug into the wheel abs sensor. I've confused as some come with a loom connected to them and some...

Can someone pls advise me, I have just fitted genuine set of rear park sensors to my peugeot boxer 2022, I have it booked into dealer to have them to program last bit, telling bsi it has them, they've called me to say they can't do this because the kit has to be ordered matched to bsi, surely if genuine kit this should be able to be done by them,...

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...

Hi,
My 207 1.6 diesel was not running smoothly when the engine repair needed came up on the dash with the car going into limp mode. The code reader produced code P1445 with the message particle emission filter must be changed. Is this the same as a Dpf as there are ones available for sale on eBay ? Or could the filter be cleaned out that is on the...

Hi Guys

First post here!

I have a 2018 Toyota Proace Verso, but thought I would ask here as should be identical engine-wise to a Peugeot Traveller.

It's fairly high mileage for the year at 140,000 miles, but runs well and has all the extras such as leather etc.

MPG is not what I was expecting (around 23 to 27 mpg), so got myself a diagbox set...

Peugeot 2008 1.6bluehdi P02ED, P00BC errors.
Replaced Maf still the same. Took out Map sensor, which was pretty clean. Sprayed some contact cleaner, and put back , but error still pops up. Mosty happens when driving and releasing accelerator pedal while its in gear. I have Autel Maxisys Elite diagnostic. Maf figures are looking ok. Not sure what...

Hi all,

Please can anyone help me in my present problem with my Dad's Partner van. Bought it a few months back and it's in good nick and my Dad is well chuffed with it. Doesn't rush about just pottering in the van. I took for a spin the other day and noticed I was doing 50mph in no time in 4th gear low revs. Went through a 'your speed' sign and...

All,
I bought a e208, couple of years back. Recently i noticed, that front right window is not going down and so is the back left window. Other two windows are working fine.
My initial suspicion was that it will be switch issue. So I hastily ordered another switch and tried replacing it. The issue still remains even with replaced switch. I say...

We have just purchased
A Peugeot TU3 kfw 1.4 engine it was out of a Peugeot 207 according to the breakers.
We are going to build it to race spec for Oval racing it will be fitted in a GP Midget.
Could anyone tell me what gearbox fits this engine as there seems to be few different ones.
Thanks in advance

Hi guys.

I recently bought a used Peugeot 3008 (2011) with the xenon lights from factory. From what I read in the handbook, it has DRL, using the same bulbs as the presence/minimum lights. The issue is that they only work at night (or when I cover the light sensor in the shield) or if I take the switch out of the AUTO/0 position. I checked the...

Hi

Any help most welcome

Greetings guys! Following the procedure from Haynes manual and taking advices from some YT videos. I’ve got stuck with my DW10 and would appreciate any advice and experience that you could share before I move forward.

Both, camshaft and crankshaft were secured with safety pins, old belt teeth position marked (on the belt, on camshaft sprocket...

I had discs and pads done all round for my MOT in august this year. Car passed, no advisories.

A couple of weeks ago I had 2 new front tyres. Since the tyres were fitted, and I'm not saying its related, I have had a front end clonk, almost a click really, even on very gentle braking and not every time. I notice it more if I've done a bit without...

Hi all,

Apologies if my question has already been asked and answered as I could find it in my search.

I've become the proud owner of a 2013 Peugeot 508 SW as of last week. Love the car so far, but noticed that the navigation was still using 2014/2015 maps. I've been reading and searching through the forum to figure out exactly what kind of...

Hi im new here because,
I have a peugeot 405 1.9td 1993 which I saved from a pentioner who wanted to scrap it.
To my problem, the car was running great and I did an oil change, coolant change, Thermostat change, glow plugs changed, fuel filter change. Just basic Service after standing quite a while.
So one day it started smoking quite...

So, got a towbar for the 407 Hdi wagon and fitted it, and then found I could not find the rear brake light BSC to fit the towbar wiring kit.

In the sedan it on the passenger side rear but in the wagon the battery sits there

So,

a) any one got instructions as how to wire the BSC A01 00 kit and

b) where is the rear brake lights BSC in a 407...

Hi guys, brought a van recently, it's got an intermittent leak which cannot trace from hoses, found a couple of loose clips on hoses(just had work done on it), noticed it's got a new EGR cooler fitted however the hoses aren't connected to it.. guessing it's leaked,so the pipes were cut to bypass it and not reinstated once new egr cooler fitted.....

I have owned this car for a year and had a lot of problems. It's been driven almost 200 000 km. The urea tank and timing belt with gears were replaced on warranty last autumn. The timing belt will be replaced again after 60 000 km or two years on warranty.

During winter there was a NOx reduction error code with counting distance to not being able...

There have been issues with occasionally not starting, not being able to stop or not opening doors since June. Last few weeks have been very bad and now the car has been at my wife work parking lot since Monday. Some of the issues may have been caused by flat battery in fob (changed about a...

I have a 1.6Hdi 75hp with 91,000 miles on the clock. Serviced every year by reputable company. I bought the van 2 years ago and continued this service routine starting with having the cambelt and water pump being replaced at 88,000 miles with a full service in 2023. Over the last couple of months I’ve heard this odd rattling sound from the engine...

As above. I'm now left with the remains of the front ABS sensor stuck in it's hole, flush....solid.
Any tricks to get the sod out without taking the hub off?
It's been painted with diesel and hoping some gets in but not holding my breath.
Cheers

Peugeot SW 508 1.6hdi 9HL 2011.
5 gear and having 2500rpm at 110km/h
What gearbox is compatible with my engine and with a longer fifth gear?
(just read that swapping a 6gear is to much work but with 5gear should work?)

I have this Peugeot Partner from 2006 where the sidemember, the sill and everything has rusted out. This not only looks horrible but also creates problems when im jacking up the car, since the jack will just crush everything that is rusted preventing me from lifting the car.

I found the parts I need to replace everything

However, I cant figure...

Thinking of renewing as many suspension components as possible and the brakes.

Afternoon folks,
I've been offered a nice spec one of these with some damage at reasonable money.
Needs a windscreen and glass roof after someone didn't close the bonnet properly.
That damage doesn't bother me at all as it is parts that can be replaced.
What are these 1.6 E-HDi's like? Seems to have a good service history with the belt
done etc....

Hi ,can anyone read these values and tell me what's wrong ,please?
Is a Peugeot 308 hdi ,1.6 and I had the code P0087 fuel rail pressure too low bank 1.

Hello Everyone,

Good to be here and thanks for having me.

My 1988 504 is overheating so was wondering if anyone has any advice. I have more info but because this is my first post I have kept brief.

Thanks in anticipation

Hello ladies and gents, I have a 308 GT Line 2.0hdi 150bhp and I want to see how far it can go BUT I can not for the life of me find a Stage 3 clutch kit, short shifter or LSD I believe my gearbox code is ML6C and I’ve seen many LSD, Short shifters for the MC6 would they fit my car and if not could anyone recommend me some options as it is frying...

I have a 2016 Peugeot 2008 Feline 120 and the car has an undiagnosed knock when slowing down under 10 mph and depressing the clutch to stop. This does not occur from cold but after 10 miles or so. It sounds like it corresponds to drive shaft rotation.
This has come up in the forum in a couple of posts but with no satisfactory conclusion.

Hi all.

I torqued up the front hub nut on Peugeot 5008 mk1 to 325NM , now noticed that the locking pin and cap are quite loose when fitted on the hub nut...
Is it really 325NM for the hub nut? Or smth else is a miss here

Hi All,

I have a Peugeot 308, 2015 model (1.2 Litre Petrol, Manual).
It suddenly stopped working (cranks but won't start).
I called the breakdown support and the AA did some diagnostics and gave the following error codes:

Patrol found the following fault code/s:System : Engine control 1 - 9E4 / Engine management Valeo VD46 Status :P1B40 - Engine...

For anyone who has replaced the thermostat housing on a 1.4 tu3 engine, are there meant to be any locating dowels on the head? I suspect mine are missing.

Can’t seem to shake a leak which develops over time.

I've tried to search for a video online but they only show older model Peugeots - not T9 (or face-lift) about the replacement of the clutch/fly wheel replacement.

If you have see or done a clutch/flywheel replacement your self on a manual Peugeot t9, can you please tell me if it requires the removal of the subframe?

TIA,
Fred.

The pipe that comes from the air filter housing and goes to the turbo seems to be leaking a bit of oil on my 2017 3008 1.6 BlueHDi. Is this a simple case of replacing a gasket or is that a symptom of something more serious? See attached picture.

Sorry, if this is a stupid question, but I'm a bit illiterate when it comes to diesel engines.

My fuel pump as stopped working did the thump trick yesterday but now completely dead

9684934480 is the part number but does it after be matching number as I've noticed online they have another different part number

Or is it best to get a matching number as I'm planning to go scrapyard as I need one asap

Could I have a VIN decode for my 5008 please?

Does anyone know the dimensions for the bolt listed as C here

I have this caliper bolt that has rounded off, and I do not want to buy a caliper repair kit which has this bolt included, I just need the bolt itself but cant find info on this bolt so I can just pick one up at the hardware store. Anyone have any info ?

I have a 2016 Peugeot partner , I was told that one of the injectors was leaking diesel so they replaced the seals on all injectors, I didn’t see this leak but went with what the garage said. Anyway it has leaked oil ever since, it’s always got oil around the injectors, looks like oil! Could it be from the injectors

Hi my vehicle has just been diagnosed as needing a new abs pump at over £1100 plus fitting coding and vat!!!
Am I correct that if I get a good used one same part number off same vehicle it is straight swap no coding needed it's only new units that need to be coded to the vehicle?

Hoping someone may be able to help. I’ve got my hands on a very clean 205 1.1GL. It’s actually quite peppy for the engine size but I would like to modernise it slightly. The easiest option would appear to be a Saxo 1.1 engine as the immobiliser is so ridiculously easy to delete, and this may be the way I go but what I’d really like is an all alloy...

Hello,
I bought a Mini Cooper (yes I know it is not French, but it has French engine) PSA 1.6 HDI 9HZ 109hp 2008.
It is okay if I drive it slowly, but if I want to accelerate quick the car goes to limp mode. If the pedal is pressed about 60% sometimes the boost is okay at the beginning but starts going low and back to OK a few times, after that...

Hi everyone,
The 304 is hideously low geared by modern standards (or any standards!) and our 2nd gear synchro is virtually non-existent, so rather than rebuild the box I was wondering if it might be possible to fit a 5 speed, or even a whole engine/gearbox unit, out of some later model ? It's the 1288 75 bhp petrol engine - I've heard of 106 GTi...

Hi
