Hi,
Wondered if anyone can shed a light on a roof issue with a 307cc 2006
The sequence starts, the boot lifts then stops. The side 'paddles' do not activate and so the roof does not fold down.
Could this be a sensor or actuator issue? If so how do I go about finding it?

Purchased a 1.6hdi some time ago and have been trying to pinpoint the cause of a p0402 which will not allow the regeneration of the dpf. Changed some parts on it like the turbo oil feel pipe, had the turbo checked and it seems to be spinning freely. Changed the vacuum solenoid thats at the back of the bulk head, and the MAF sensor with a brand new...

Hi all,

Just received the new diagnostic interface with Diagbox 9.186 from EasyDiagnostics (with thanks to Marc and Jim for arranging the FCF discount), following an impressive display of warning lights relating to ABS, ESP, tyre pressures, parking brake etc.

For the ESP90 ABS/ESP I get:

I know this subject is a bit of a minefield but I need a new thermostat housing for my 207 & wondered if I could get some advice where to get it. Some decent sellers on ebay etc have for around £40, other's on ebay around £60 but say are as good as OEM hence slightly higher price. GFS car parts around £90 but is this OEM? - it doesn't say anywhere...

Hi all :)

I'm troubleshooting an intermittent ESP/ABS error on my Peugeot Partner B9 from 2011.
An intermittent error shows up within the first few minutes of driving.

It's a C1321 error code referring to the front left sensor error, but when looking at the freezeframe data all wheel sensors show 1KPH at the time of the fault.
I pulled the...

Hello all,

My wife and I have a 2013 Peugeot 207cc 1.6 VTI. I am in the process of changing the cars thermostat and about to start the re-assembly.

I have 2 questions please:

There are two hoses that come from the thermostat to the heater matrix. The moulded arrow on the thermostat i presume points to the direction of flow. To which connection...

Please can anyone guide me on what diagnostic hardware/ software will achieve a reset of my dpf.

Hello, my peugeot 308 Idle is rough and stalling when starting first time and after 30 seconds it will disappear and when i stay in idle for 2 or 3 minutes the accelerates thick smoke is coming out. Does anyone have a idea….?

Drove the lemon to the supermarket and... Now we have an 'airbag' fault.
Chuck the Lexia on it and we have E602. Maybe 'Drivers Level 2 Airbag igniter Open'.
Clearing it doesn't make a difference as it comes back immediately. :(
Suspecting this may be in need of a little connector cleaning?
Any ideas?

Peugeot 407 owner here, Diesel 2005. It has been some months that AC stopped blowing at all (neither hot or cold air).

I spent a few hours today trying to help a friend out.

He’s got an incredibly rare 306 Cabriolet. It’s a genuine Dimma. 1 of only 2 ever made. It’s the one that featured in the Max Power magazines back in the day. It was originally yellow but when he got it the paint was trashed so he repainted it. It’s stunning and ever since he’s been here...

We are having some difficulties with our 2015 1.2 Puretech GT Line. Initially we had the engine management light come on along with an orange engine fault message on the centre instrument binnacle. I borrowed a code reader and it gave a fault code of P0344 which we reset the code to see if it came back.

The EML was then triggered again with the...

Hi There,

I have installed a replacement radio in my Peugeot 207. I was told that I would need a pin code, which I obtain from an online provider.
Once I received to code I connected the radio. Surprisingly, the radio came on straight away and didn't ask for a code. Despite the radio working it bleeps every few seconds. Can anyone help me...

When I bought my 207cc 1.6Hdi it had a fuel rail pressure sensor issue.
So, I replaced the fuel filter, the sensor, and spliced in a new 3 pin connector/loom.
I'm suspecting it was the loom as it's a known issue.
Problem solved... or so you'd think.
Car works fine except for a sudden P0087 when accelerating hard above 3000rpm.
I'm now beginning to...

Does anyone have a part number for the bearing only of the 5751.G7 auxiliary belt tensioner used on the TU5JP4 engine?

Also how to remove the tensioner bearing from the housing, it is just a push-fit? This tensioner appears to be working fine so just want to change the bearing only which I hope will be much cheaper than the whole unit.

Hi all,

Two issues that have recently cropped up on my 1997 406 estate 2.0 turbo petrol:

1. The fuel filter bracket (just in front of the rear wheel, near the sill) seems to have disintegrated. I've found a few small pieces of plastic with a wavy pattern to them but I'm struggling to find any info online (or from my Haynes manual) to see what...

Hi,

how I can reach wire for lighter 12V connector between two front seats?

Does wires go behind central console, aka radio console?

Thanks!

I have an odd one.

When the car starts cold it starts and runs fine. After a period of uninterrupted driving, cca 30 minutes the car gas pedal becomes unresponsive, very laggy. I'll press it 4-5x deeper than usual, car won't reply and after several seconds RPMs will go up. It feels like playing a computer game with terrible lag.

There are no...

Hi,
I bought Peugeot 308 SW 2009. and I notice that my real speed is 5km/h less than what I set on Cruise control!

e.g. I set 85 km/h but my speedometer and GPS (app on phone) show 80km/h.

Does anybody had similar problem or have an a idea what could cause this problem?

Thanks!

For a long time, I am hearing this clicking sound. I always though it was exhaust cooling after FAP regeneration. But I am not so sure anymore, since I can hear it even when car is not doing it. I found a video of exact same thing on reddit:

Anyone has an idea what it could be? My mechanic is not sure, he thinks it's inside exhaust. I went to...

Greetings to all drivers,

I own a 2005 Model Peugeot 307 LPG/gasoline automatic transmission car. I would like to get your opinions about the transmission AL4. In the country I live in, there are many urban legends about lunar oil. Some say that the oil is for life, if the oil is changed, the transmission will malfunction, and you need to change...

Hello!
I would like to ask you for help and advice.
I have a 306 with a 2.0 petrol GTI (XU10J4RS) engine.
Unfortunately, we used it quite a while ago, but it worked well without any errors.
For years it just rested in the garage, now we wanted to bring it out again and revive it.
Of course it didn't start, the fuel pump was in a broken state...

Is it possible to programme the keys so when my wife opens the car it goes to her settings (eg seat, mirrors etc) and when I open it it goes to mine? Thanks

I'm pondering a 304 cabriolet/convertible but before I take the plunge I have a few questions

Is there a good' source of parts? We have a Citroen GS and Fiat 600, both of which are quite well looked after in terms of parts but I don't know the world of old Peugeots.

Is there a recognised 304 specialist somewhere?

I've heard mention of Darius...

Any members on here that know diagbox functions well?

I am trying to find if its possible to trim the mixture level and alter the idle speed via this diagnostic software. I cannot find a menu that allows (if at all) these adjustments. I can read the current idle speed but do not know what menus to go into to adjust it or the mixture. The BSI is...

RH RR wheel can't be rotated by hand!!!
I'm pretty sure I know why. I never use the handbrake with it being an auto. The tester needs to. Pretty sure that caused it. Stopping off at the shops on the way home I could smell the heat. Never have done before. By the time I got home all was good. Need to check the handbrake...

This is my first time asking a question.

Is there any website where I can check my car's original 'CONFIGURATION' details such as BSI, ECU, ENGINE WIRING, AUDIO, etc., by looking up the VIN number?

I eagerly await your response.

Thank you.

Original spec for my 1.6 16v TU5JP4 is Bosch FR7ME but these don't seem to be available in the UK at the moment. I'd be interested in what alternative plugs others have used successfully?

Hi,

Does anyone know the part number for the 5 speed gear knob (and the white plastic sleeve that goes on the shifter itself if they don't come as a set) for a LHD 1997 406? Reverse gear is down and away from the driver without the gating mechanism like RHD HDis. I've found some OEM ones for sale online without pictures (and for lots of money!)...

Thinking about buying a cruise-control stalk for my 2006 1.6 307 but not sure which on to get.

Parts list shows 6242.Z9 as cruise-control only and 6242.Z8 as cruise-control & speed-limiter.

However Aliexpress list 6242.Z8 as 6-pin and 6242.Z9 as 8-pin although both appear to do cruise-control & speed-limiter.

Is it likely to be safer to get the...

Noticed that my Peugeot 1.6 16V (TU5JP4) will not run smooth at fast idle. Base idle is about 825rpm and rev counter is smooth at that but try and raise idle slightly and no matter how softly throttle is pressed it jumps to 1200rpm then fluctuates 900-1100rpm. Just will not stay stable at 1000rpm.

Throttle body has been removed and cleaned with...
