Hi everyone, greetings from Argentina, I own a 2007 307 SW Hdi with the 1.6 16v DV6TED4 engine, no FAP, 110hp. My turbo has gone and the piston rings fail on the rightmost cylinder, turbo side. I'm considering rebuilding the engine, new piston rings, piston, head gasket etc. etc. On this side of the ocean this is pretty expensive and I'm...

I'ts been sitting on the drive for a few weeks, with ocasional starts. So I did a run of 60 miles on the motorway yesterday (70mph, 2k revs, and soot on the doors. Did...

Hello,

Is the Lucas Stop Solenoid coded to the immobiliser on a 2005 1.9D Pug Expert.

Long story short, my fuel pump died. So I fitted a new fuel pump timing belt and water pump. Easy enough job.

Wouldn't start pulled the injector pipes off at the pump cranked it and no fuel.

The pump I fitted was second hand but the gent assured me the pump...

Hello everyone,
Please can someone help me to bring my 406 car back to road as the engine is refusing to start and the multifunctional display shows engine immobiliser.
Hope to hear from the Technical gurus.

Hi All,

It seems this is a common problem, but I'm yet to find anybody with quite the same issue.

We changed the battery in my partners 207CC today as the cold weather had proven the old one no longer worthy and as a matter of course did a lights check and I noticed the passenger side dipped beam was working, but the drivers side not. So I went...

Hello again,
I'm swapping my engine and box in my camper...
I'm fitting the XUD9 engine and ML5T box...which is the same as the one I have in my Ducato....apparently.
Citro Jim has done an illustrated 'how to' overhaul of the injector pump..
What I'd like to know is do the earlier models (1999) have the immobilisor unit fitted in the pump the same...

Engine fault repair needed and service light on.
My local garage diagnostic check came up with error code P15B3 ADDITIVE ADDING.but he doesn't know the meaning.
Has anyone come across this or can analyse the fault and know how to deal with it?
Thanks

Hi How can I get a parts catalog for Peugeot or Citroen and get OEM parts numbers?

Due to the cold weather and a change in the use of my car, Peugeot 3008 1.6hdi sometimes it can sit unused for a few days, even up to a week whilst I pop about on the bus etc. The other day when I started it, it didn't spin over as fast as I would like, I have one of those trickle/ conditioner chargers and was thinking it might be an idea to...

Hi all .any help would be great.i have a Peugeot 206 2.0 hdi that I bought for work of a young lad that he had put petrol in by mistake. I have done all the necessary cleaning and it runs now but is murder to start I have to wind it up for some time to get it going. Once going it's fine. Here is the list of jobs I have done, sorry to bore you....

Warning came on yesterday saying fluid level low. Guess I need it topping up. Advise please, it’s a new one on me.
I’ll probably have to take it to local garage but what fluid should I buy and any idea of cost ?

Bit of a strange one this, no heat in cabin.
First, back flushed heater matrix, then rad, then coolant system.
Refilled, bled system from heater hose at bulkhead and thermostat. Still no heat, took to garage as they suggested thermostat maybe at fault. They replaced thermostat and housing, and replaced water exhaust bypass hose that was split....

Hello all,
Ive noticed something else today about my van and it's engine..
I didn't spot it when I bought it...but then again I wasn't looking for it.
There's no catalytic converter on my exhaust....it looks as though where it was fitted theres a welded piece of 'braided' exhaust ..about 18 inches long.
I've acquired a new motor and box for it...

Hello everyone. I have P1598 and P0238 on my Peugeot 407 2.0 HDi.
These errors have appeared only after a stage 1 remap that I did in some other city and I couldn't stay there for long, only for a day (I'm from Romania).
Now, is it true that these errors are not related? P1598 points to the electrovalve on the thermostat (my car is from 2004), and...

Hi all.

New member here who bought a 1.9D Peugeot Expert van around 3 months ago. This is my first diesel vehicle so I am not too familiar with the procedure to take when you have ran out of diesel and ran your vehicle on an empty tank.

I ran out of diesel even though the needle indicator was slightly above empty (maybe relating to age of...

Hi,

I have an '06 206 1.4i and I just bought steel rims for the winter, but I can't find the right size for bolts anywhere.
The 58mm bolts I have for the OEM alloy wheels aren't compatible with the steel rims.
My question is, do I need the 47mm or the 52mm bolts? Or is there anything I can do to determine the fit?

Thank you,

Hopefully someone can lend some help to diagnose this fairly large issue I'm having.

I've swapped a 1.6 Nfu into a 1.4, rewired the ecu with the Bosch ME 7.4.5 and 3 wires of one fusebox plug, had it running with a surge on startup but would settle to 1000rpm (perhaps the start of the trouble?), but then one day just went wrong. It idled rough...

Hi everyone ive put a full step by step guide together on how to replace the front wheel bearing so thought id share it with you all.. hope it helps :)

Hi im asking for a friend for his Peugeot 407 2.0hdi 136hp. He wants to modify his engine to get more power out of it and he cant find any info what to do except for chip tuning. So the question wound be what can you do more after a chip tuning to get more power. Thanks for your answers

Last by time I bought 4 new tyres for my Automatic, I did notice one was all scrubbed off. I now notice that it seems to pull away from a cold start, hard on one tyre only, and the colder it is, like now, the worse it is. When it's really cold I can hear and feel it skidding the tyre when pulling away normally. It only happens whilst the engine is...

I hope this helps if others have a problem with the fan (especially the removal of the fan resistor!)

On a 2013 308 (P7) the heater fan was not working. Having looked at other posts about heater blowers for the C4 (C4 heater/air con not working) on this forum it seems to be a similar system to the Citroen. Note that this 308 is a dual zone...

Can someone tell me please , what are the differences between a XUD7 and XUD9 engine , apart from the bigger bore on the XUD9. Are the mounting points for the vehicle and gearbox different etc .
can a swap out be done for the XUD9 into a 205 XUD7 vehicle ?.

Have a 206 03 plate 1.4 petrol auto here, just acquired, belonging to my daughter. The classic signs of HGF. Oil dripping down onto aux belt from HG line on off side of engine block. Creamy brown on expansion tank cap and black oil inside the tank. First line of attack. Is there an oil cooler to check with it being auto? Got to do the HK anyway...

HI
My 407 has a top mounted thermostat on the housing. Looking at on the internet the housing seems have been updated so that thermostat is built in and temp plug on back. Anyway anyone got a part number for my thermostat. Rather replace thermostat that complete housing if possible.

Many thanks in advance

The only parts finder I can find shows...

Is it possible to disassemble the factory spring out of the rear electronic adjustable shock assembly of the 407? Thanks.

Hi, recently bought a 2013 Peugeot Partner 1.6 HDI with a timing belt failure, the belt had not actually snapped but had only sheared a small number of teeth off of the belt (engine is on 132000 miles so could be the original belt). However I bought this van cheap in the hope that I would get away with fitting a new timing belt and waterpump kit....

Hi all.

I am having a bit of a problem with my dads Peugeot 307cc. Its the 2.0 HDI 57 plate.

Recently the gearbox has been difficult to get into gear so I figured the first thing I might try is to change the gearbox oil.

However after getting the car up on the ramp I for the life of me cannot find where the drain plug is on this car. Its not...

Hi

I was wondering if someone could help with my 306 2.0 HDI, which has recently started doing the following:

1 Will not rev above 2500 rpm, and sometimes cuts out at this rpm while driving along. When this happens, it will not bump start, the ignition has to be turned off and on again, then the engine starts straight away.

2 The engine runs on...

Hi All,
For information: I have changed the rear brake pads/discs on a 308 MKII (2015) fitted with an electronic handbrake, without the Peugeot programming tool.
Notes on specific points:
1. To release the brakes initially, engine off, chock the car, turn on the ignition (it doesn't have to be running), press the footbrake, depress the handbrake...

hi

I have a 2002 206cc and all of a sudden my wipers stopped working. Had a mobile mechanic come out and looked, he said the wiper motor is blowing the fuse.

I got a new motor and linkage, and replaced them, but the fuse still blows. Subsequently discover the fuse blows when you turn the ignition on even with the wiper motor unplugged....

Hey everyone.
I would like to know the difference between the white-striped and the green-striped injectors? (attached photo below)

Hey everyone. My 1.8L 406 ( petrol automatic 2003 ) has the SIEMENS S118047804 D transmission control module (AL4 gearbox). I searched the web and found modules with the same code(S118047804) but with a different letter (C/D/A), or with a different code altogether, but they are all stating to be compatible with the 406. So what is the difference...

Hi there,

I am experiencing a strange issue, the car at any givin random point decides to dump coolant out from the reservoir

We have performed multiple coolant pressure tests. The car holds pressure and not a single leak comes out.

Thus we cannot understand what is going on.

Can anyone shed some light on the issue, cause we are digging our...

Hi all,

Its a 2008 2.0 HDi RHR with the Delphi Pump.

I have another problem. After replacing the injectors and the two solenoid vales, one of the turbo actuator (wastegate) and one for the air doser EGR. Its now having a turbo issue or what is controlling the turbo.

The scenario is this: In 4th gear at low rpm, i give it load to accelerate and...

Hi, i recently bought myself an reasonably well maintained 406. Reasonably well meaning it went to the dealer for most off it's life and had some bushings replaced but it's still a oil leaking mess under the bonnet. I know the valve covers are leaking and that it's an common problem. I think the majority off the oil on the engine is dripping down...

Salut à tous.
Just plugged a mates 206cc into Diag to investigate but I can't find 206cc in the list, so I chose 206 and it threw up P0402, Catalytic Converter, local, perm, Ageing. During the fault check there are a lot of ECU's not recognised. (It finds the VIN) which is VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]. When I try to clear the fault it gives me a list of...

Hi,

My 407SW's heated seats no longer works (switch and control unit is good), and it checks out to be the heated seat pad that is broken. I am unable to obtain the factory 407 seat part where I am and I believe the factory part is expensive. However, I am able to obtain pads from the 307, C5 III, 508. I am wondering if the heated seat element is...

hi all,
the good ladies partner B9 tepee seems to drain its battery after 4 days of not being used, i fitted a small solar panel trickle charger last year in a bid to help keep it topped up, but still seems to go, a little bit of research suggests the alternator diodes as the likely culprit, the alternator has never been changed in our ownership...

Hello folks,
The radio in my 2008 keeps on switching itself on and off. I spoke to my local dealer, who asked for £84 to look at it. I asked there must be a software update that I could solve this problem myself. He was adamant they need to look at first. Made several excuse as to why.
My question is this is there a software upgrade that I can...
