Hey guys, I just got a new 2008 a couple of weeks ago and I noticed this low-key sound whenever I press the brake while driving. It is like air is being let in or out, similar to the sound of a small air pump, but quieter. I understand it has something to do with the brake servo and possibly vacuum booster. I did not notice it before probably due...

Hi all,

I have recently purchased a 1997 406 2.0 petrol estate (engine code XU10J2TE) and I have a few questions:

1. The car came with two keys - one fob (door and boot unlock buttons) and a plain key. The fob buttons work to unlock the central locking and both keys do the same. But if I want to start the car I need to press and hold the door...

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a Peugeot 107 2 Tronic with a gearbox issue. I connected it to Peugeot planet and received the following error message:

Automatic transmission control unit
Permanent fault. Clutch actuator motor signal.

I have already replaced the actuator with a known good one, as well as the gearbox relay and checked all the...

Hi all, my 308 1.6hdi tsarted missing occasionally but has got progressively worse. First, repeatedly stalling at idle. Then, refusing to or being reluctant to start after stalling. After that, having no power when revving (ie having to give it a couple of thousand revs or more to pull away from a stop without stalling). Now, it will catch when...

I am going to add a cruise stalk to my daughters 2007 207 Sport. I have popped of the trim and the connector on the column has 8 contacts. Does this mean I can use a stalk with the memory function or did all the connectors have 8 pins and some were simply not connected on the vehicle? Thanks.

Ive had a few ODB codes randomly come up, trigger the MIL light and suspect there is a common loom plug / connector that is loose or needs a clean (eg the poor contact below gives it away)

Codes are

P0180 Diesel fuel temperature signal fault : Coherence
P0181 Diesel fuel temperature signal fault : Poor contact
P0183 Diesel fuel temperature...

Hello all,

I know this subject has been dealt with before. I seem to have no clearances on some of my valves, leading to very difficult cold starting - a known problem with these engines. Can anyone tell me a source of replacement shims, and also the special tool I understand is required in order to swap shims without having to remove the...

Hello All,

I’m hoping to benefit from your expertise. My wife has had her 2010 207 Sport Auto for 11 years, bought with 6k miles, now done 42k. Peugeot main dealer serviced, then by a good recommended Indy. Car has never missed a beat in 11 years. About 800 miles ago got an anti pollution warning. Fault codes from Diagbox were P0014 and P11A8,...

Hi all,
I have a 2004 206 with the 2.0 HDI. I'm very interested in fitting cruise control and apparently it's possible to simply fit an OEM cruise stalk and activate it with peugeot planet?

I removed the plastic cover around the steering column (which has a space for a cruise stalk, blanked off) and there's a PCB with connections for the stalk....

Hello!
I have been leasing a Peugeot for 2 months, and in fact the car 1.5 months stood in the garage.
First, it turned out that the car had a defective valve train - it was replaced by the seller.
Now there was a problem with wavy revs. It manifests itself as a rev ripple visible on the recordings, along with a slight jerking of the engine while...

Hi, new here and saw really useful info on some old threads.

I have a 58 plate Peugeot 308 1.6 VTI and back in Jan when we had the really cold weather I got the dreaded Depollution System Faulty message and an engine warning light.

It cleared itself after a couple of days and then came back and has stayed back since.

The car starts and runs...

Dear Owners,

I came up with the idea of buying a portable 12-volt to 230-volt inverter and using it to ozone the cabin annually and vacuum the interior with a household vacuum cleaner in the garage.
Is it safe for the car's electrical system to connect the inverter directly to the car's battery and use it while the engine is running?
One and...

Hi everybody,

I try to find the right driveshaft seals for my 6 speed gearbox but the major car part sites keep suggesting me the wrong stuff for a different type of gearbox.

I'm looking for diveshaft seal numbers for my 2015 308SW 1.6 bluehdi with 6 speed manual gearbox ML6C ? or 20MB39 ?

Thanx in advance,

I tried to set camera to active and that passed succesfully but not for the SMEG+

Bsi and other ecus were not any problem, only smeg. Someone can help me?

Hello All

First-time poster!

Just to ask if anyone has some advice regarding checks I can carry out on our 207 1.4 HDi. Here's the complete background:

Parked the car outside for a couple of days (in some very cold weather) to carry out a replacement of rear silencer exhaust mount and associated band strap. Before this, the car started and ran...

After some Googling and trawling forums, I’m feeling a bit pessimistic before asking for help with this.

I recently bought a 2014 208 Active Vti 1.0. Had the bonnet up on the day of purchase (opened while I was there and appeared to work fine). Came to open it today for the first time just to top up the screen wash, nada. No click when I pull...

Hi all,

I want to replace the clutch on my 308SW T9 1.6 bluehdi now i was wondering did anybody do that job themselves ?

The stealer charges 1600 euro for the job but i can buy the parts myself for 485 euro's ( valeo 837106 DM flywheel and clutch )

I do have all the tools needed for the job, but would it be possible to finish the job in 1 day...

Hi good people, hoping someone can shed some light on this....Bit of a long story!

Hi all. Had my 2016 Expert 2.0 130bhp since May 22. It's always smoked at startup but always cleared pretty quickly. Heater plugs have been replaced but no change. I was going to sell it this week, January Winter in the UK where the temps got below zero. The battery has taken a beating and may need replaced. Voltage at rest is 12.4 and it barely...

Hi good people

I’m trying to get to the source of a problem for my daughter’s boy friend’s Scudo van , I’m a competent home mechanic who has built a car from scratch and fitted it with Suzuki Motorbike throttle bodies with attendant aftermarket Ecu .

Hi all....hoping someone can give me some advice. I'm quite handy but still very much a learner.
My 2005 206 is used to get me to work and back, 1.5 miles each way, I've had it for about 6 months and already had to bugger about with the coil pack and injectors. In honesty, I've enjoyed getting me hands mucky and learning about the car, the bloody...

Im trying to figure out why my car is not stopping with start/stop. First issue was that the robot gearbox was not programed when the cluch was changed in a workshop (Peugeot Workshop 😔). I tried to talk to them about it but woth no success. I fixed that but one myself with diagbox.
The reason i dont understand is this:

Hi!
My fog light switch has gone dodgy on my Comms 2000 unit on my 2006 307 SW 2.0HDi. I bought a second hand one that looks exactly the same, has all the same plugs etc. I have just fitted it to the car and it doesn't work. Are they actually coded to the car?? It even throws up electronic ignition faulty. None of the switches work either. Do I...

Hi everyone,

I'm new on the forum and I'm not a technical genius. I have a 2013 Peugeot 508 RXH Hybrid4 diesel/electric car (this is my first French car) and I was wondering if there is any possibility / button combination / trick to display a rev counter on the dashboard? I mean there is a combination to reset the oil service so maybe someone...

Hi, my Peugeot 206 1.4hdi consumes about 6L/100km combined (advertised 4,3L/100km). My version is without oxygen sensor(lambda) and MAP sensor, only MAF. Recently changed oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, egr blocked and turned off in software. Only faulty codes are: p0500

Hi,
I am curios if anyone experience same things as me while driving the EAT8. It feels like there is no low revs mode - cruising.
My previous car was with an older Aisin box and when driving probably with 20,30 km when I lift my foot from the gas it was cruising on 3rd gear for example with engine running on idle.
On the EAT8 as soon as I move...

Dear Forum,
I have searched but to no avail.

I have a 2013 508 2,0 HDi RHF (DW10BTED4) and my power steering fluid is running low - I know now where the leak is so that is not the problem.
The thing is that I need to fill it up. Here, I got two options - red or green. My fluid is more brownish ... My initial thought was to use a siphon to empty...

Hi.
Is there a way to access ideal specs/figures for live diagnostic data and figures? From PSA maybe?

That being said, I'm still more...
