Hi.

Yesterday while driving the battery warning light came on, when I started it after been parked for a while it was gone. I then started it this morning and the light came on again and I heard a noise from the engine, sounded kinda like a faulty belt. There was also a burnt smell. When I tried to start it again the light was still on and it...

On my 2007 Peugeot 207 CC 1.6 VTi automatic (VIN: VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]) I have a fault code P0443: Canister bleed electrovalve control open circuit. The only reason I scanned the vehicle (Launch 123E scanner) was because I was checking for any automatic transmission fault codes I might have. On the change from 1st to 2nd I often get a thump, going up...

I could not find any threads on replacement audio heads so interested if any one has replaced the standard 407 radio / screen / controls with an aftermarket GPS / media unit.

I've seen a few on ebay / aliexpress but most sellers have no idea what they do / what functions will be replicated.

The best I have seen is made by a well known brand LJDA...

As a sucker for punishment, I could not pass up a bargain 407 Tourer HdI v6 with only 142,000 kms

I recently put new front discs and pads on my 207 GT, the pads that came with the discs were not branded and were just in a white box.

they just dont bite very well, so am looking for something a bit better, dont really want to spend more than £25 and in general they will last me a few years as I am not that heavy on brakes.

Hi everyone,

Is there a particular recommended website that you can buy spare parts for your Peugeot 3008? The glove box light and the courtesy lights in my car are not working. I called the Peugeot Dealership that quoted me £30 per light to be replaced.

I have searched the web and have seen eBay (from China) providing you parts, but wonder if...

Hi everyone,
I've got fuel smell in the cabin after filling the tank (not strong)
Been to a workshop to have it checked and it was recommended to change the charcoal canister. Fuel pump under the seat was dry with no sign of leakage.
Fuel smell was again present in the cabin the next morning.
There was no smell in the engine bay.
I'm thinking that...

I really hope that someone can help with my problem, so many thanks in advance.

I have a 2010 308 SW 1.6 hdi 110. Recently it has developed a hot start problem. It starts from cold and runs fine but wont start if its hot. On advice from a mechanic, if I pour water over the fuel pump it starts. Otherwise I have to wait 30 minutes for it to cool....

Then while the sanitizer is working (about 15 minutues) you leave the car running with the aircon running on low heat and high...

My wife had to call for roadside assistance when the mighty 605 failed to proceed - I am actually thankful that it appears to be only a failed alternator (AFAIK it's the original alternator and the car is 27 years old).

My VIN is VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff], and the pulley is for a 5-rib belt. We only got the PRV engined version with 4HP18 tranny.

Hi everyone,

Hello all,

First post here for many years, I did have a Saxo VTR which was a brilliant little thing and I always got great advice on the forum so thought I would ask again.

I now have a 308 GT Line SW with the 2.0l e-HDI motor.

Loving it so far except for the constant U1218 Communication Fault with built-in systems interface error code that I...

Hi
can I assume the 406 3.0 petrol throttle body Bosch part number 0 280 750 041 is the same as the 407 3.0 petrol version part number Bosch 0 280 750 041 ?

Just that they seem to be at least $100 cheaper

cheers

Hi all.
Brother has a 2015 peugeot 3008 and central locking has stopped working..all doors are unlocked.
Using key in door only locks drivers door and no way to lock other doors.
When pressing lock button on dash he can hear a click but nothing happens.
He has tried a bsi reset with no joy.
Anything else he should be looking at.
Thanks

Long story but we have been subject of a scam and left with a c4 piscasso hdi 2014.
After confirming we were the legal owners of the car I placed it for sale. The first person who viewed it said it had a clutch issue. Oh !!
The peddle did not return fully to the top without tucking your foot under it and pulling it up. I changed the master...

can the auto wipers function be turned off in PP?

I just find it annoying, prefer to just blip the stalk down for the mist function, but that puts on the auto at the same time.

Hi, does my wifes 306, 1.4 have a pollen filter? if so where would it be? cheers Terry.

Hi guys, so traveling down the motorway at 70mph and the van comes to a halt with and awful sound, I’ve had a look and the cam belt has completely ripped apart and snapped.
The van is a 62 plate 1.6 turbo diesel not sure on the engine code yet.
I’m thinking the engine seriously damage so would it be worth while just putting in a low mileage second...

Hello

After I did interior cleaning on my VTS, neither of my heated seats work. I didn't kneel on the seat, I just reclined and slid them a lot. Fuse is OK, light on heater control works.
What to check next?

Hi guys,

This morning I had to turn the car around and drive back home as it was kangarooing in each gear, especially the lower gears when coming out of junctions. Each time it did this it was accompanied by a strange sort of whooshing sound, the only way I can describe it is kind of like shhhukkatukka . I couldn't catch it on video...

Hi guys, I am hoping for some pointers and advice to a problem I have encountered.

I recently had to change the injector seals on my 2008 5 speed manual 207 Touring 1.6HDi with the DV6TED4 engine, as I was experiencing the infamous chuffing sounds and fumes coming from the engine bay. I followed a few YouTube tutorials and did the job myself....

Does anyone know where I can find these please. I'm being directed to a plastic panel on the door pillar next to the seat but when I remove the cover there is no fuses box there. Many thanks.

Hi guys,

For some time, I have a problem with my steering. It has some knocking sound when near the end of left or right steer. Please check out the video:

hi all, first post here although have been reading a bit over the years.
My 207 sw 1.6 hdi (VIN VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]) is currently having some intermittent missing and stalling. It all started following a service, which may or may not be related. They did overfill the oil and put 4.3 litres in rather than 3.5.
Since then there has been intermittent...

Hi folks!

First post here as I've just recently purchased a very cheap 407 with various faults on that did not go through the MOT. Mainly been working with German and American cars before so this French thing is new to me.
Was planning on lending it to my son that will get his license in a few months.

Hello guys!

I have a 407 coupe 2.7 Hdi ,it's leaking coolant and it comes from the middle of the V6 because there's lot of standing water there. I already changed the water outlet house/thermostat house it didn't help. So my guess is the oil cooler that leaks at the gasket i took out 6 from the 8 bolts but to remove the last two bolts i have to...

Not sure if any on has heard of these before but they are a decent bunch and I found them whilst searching for the auxiliary drive belt tensioner bolt online.

Worth checking with them if you have a hard-to-find part also.

Not sure if this breaches any advertising or commercial forum rules. Admin. Please remove if not allowed.

Hi all, happy Friday!

I have a 207 GT and had the code p1339 come up. Changed all spark plugs and coils and cleared the EML. It's stayed off but when accelerating and high revs the car is spluttering. As if the turbo is coming in and out. I do have a cone filter and sometimes it hisses before I let my foot of the acceleration.

There is a rattle...

Brother has his in bits at the moment to replace struts and that bolt - pictured, is stuck fast. Do we get the BFO hammer out, or do we lever the clamp apart a bit?

Thanks!
