Hello,

If i would need to replace the transmission cooler (cold engine, overnight), should i expect transmission fluid to flow out or just some drops?

Thx

When either doors are open or closed on this model the windows in the closed position either drop by an inch when door is opened or raise by an inch when the door is closed. This action is to release the class from the roof rubber seal or to re-seat the class into the roof rubber seal. This action has stopped happening on the driver door. I have...

I have a 1990 205 GLD 235K Miles. Owned car since it was 6 months old, regularly serviced. Just started severe vibration when sitting ticking over, changed all engine mounts, N/S driveshaft and crank pulley. No difference at all, engine is running sweet as a nut and starts on the button. Running out of ideas??

this maybe my first post here on FCF so I express my gratitude at it's existance and further thanks to those who skillfully administer it. Apologies for any mistakes to posting protocols ie links or videos

hi guys and girls, thanks in advance for any help on the situation.

I have a peugeot bipper 1.3 hdi on a 2015 plate.
it's just been in for mot and failed on the engine management light being illuminated.

I have since tried 3 obd2 readers or diagnostics and 2 of them are absolutely unable to read a code. with the third diagnostics showing no...

The electric windows in most cars these days have a system that was made for child safety. By this I mean that if a child put it arm out of the window and the driver unknowingly raises the window once the resistance is detected by the electronics the motor stops.

Marc (AKA givemeabreak)Who is very helpful on the forum gave me some advice on the...

Does anyone know the location of the said module in the car.

Hi all. I have a 206 SW 1.4HDI which has developed an issue when idling with the car at operating temperature.

The revs dip and it's like it's trying to stall but the engine stops itself stalling. This only occurs when the engine is hot.

When this happens there is a sound toward the left of the engine bay like it's sucking in air and then it...

Hi all, I’ve got a strange one.

After buying my 508 second hand with only 1 ‘original key’ a few years ago, I bought an ‘OEM second key’ and successfully programmed it with diagbox. Happy days!

I won’t bore you with the details why, but I got a additional ‘aftermarket’ key from a reputable uk store (yes I have 3 keys now).

Programming appears...

Hi, I have a 2011 Peugeot 207, radio was working fine until the aerial got stolen.we bought a new aerial but reception is poor and can only get a few local stations. We have tried several more aerials but none worked. Went to Halfords and they tried three aerials that they said were comparable/recommend but again none worked.
Does anyone know...

Hi folks

I'm new here and I've just done the head gasket on my 1.4 twin cam 207.

As expected the exhaust manifold stud nuts didn't undo so the studs came out. I've removed the nuts from the studs and cleaned them up but I'm unsure what torque setting to use for replacing the bare studs.... I've searched many forums but there seems no consistent...

Hi all,

Quick question for those that may know.

I've just purchased a 508 GT Line, with most of the fun stuff already in please. I was told that I had the night vision system but on further inspection that's not the case.

I do have the front and rear cameras mounted in the grille / back end which is activated when put into reverse.

So I was...

We have a 308 diesel (VIN VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]) that is overdue some love and attention.

When we bought the car, second-hand, the Peugeot dealer said it had a timing chain that should be replaced at 150K miles. The independent garage that we use for work I can't do and for MOTs keeps telling me it is a timing belt.

Which is it? How big a job is...

I was out driving in the RCZ that we have just bought (1.6 petrol version) and noticed that it has an odd whistle!

The noise is just audible above the road noise and lasts a couple of seconds with the tone dropping part way through. Initially I thought that it only occurred when the clutch pedal was pressed but I also noticed it happen a couple...

Hi, i have 206 with 1.4hdi engine (2006)
I was wondering if i could swap the Gearbox from 307 with 1.6hdi engine?
Why?: because It have a longer gearing.

I have an engine on a stand, bought cheap on eBay (£80!) Mileage unknown, believe it's an 2006-2007 vintage. Do know it's from a 307 and is an EW10A (or as per data plate is actually an EW10AF)

Ultimately I plan to fit this in my 2000 406 Coupe in place of its current, somewhat tired EW10J4 (169000 miles covered)

Sump off for a clean up of the...

Some of these 307 videos are a good source of how to do video there mainly petrol vehicles, but some jobs are the same as diesel e.g lower ball joints and so on.

Hi,

So this car was thought to have a electric issue and had the ecu/bsi recoded. Before bsi was removed I mistakenly forgot to save or take pics of all the configuration options in the bsi. Now that car is functional and mechanically sound. There is some missing configuration options.

Is there a way to obtain the full list of configurations for...

Hi,

I am trying to find an exploded drawing of a BHX DV6FCU engine. I need to see how to take out the starter motor, I can see the cable going to it but it's buried.

Would anyone have anything they could share?

Nothing in the Haynes Manuel either, and have Google it to death #-o

Thanks Matt

Hi all.

Could anyone shed any light on what might be happening here.

I have an erratic and very annoying problem with my 405 2.0 petrol's air conditioning, especially annoying as it is my daily driver! It is a 1995 Mk II automatic.

Basically it works some of the time, not others, and has been going on for about a year. It may work fine for a...

Hello All - owned 205diesel since 1984, but this problem is driving me crazy, so any thoughts would be appreciated. 1991 205 diesel (210,00 miles), engine (1769cc) started to vibrate quite severely (but no misfire) about 5 months ago. Vibration is most severe at start-up and reduces as engine warms up. Glow plugs checked, but changed just in case....

Hello
I have the 1.9TD engine in my 1999 camper.
I was having the 2nd gear repaired on the gearbox so had to strip some turbo pipework away whilst removing the box.
When I removed the hose that connects to the turbo pipe that runs under the sump a flood of water ran out...I know that it shouldn't be there and don't know how it got there ...it...

I have noticed over the last couple of days when i close the drivers windows after it's fully shut i get a very short faint whine from behind the door panel,
It happens twice in succession and that's it but always when fully closed,
Its not the rubbers is it the motor on its way out?

Hello everyone, i have P508 1.6 BlueHDI 2015 facelift model, the replacement gearbox was fit, but gears feel a bit off, my mechanic says that to adjust gearbox linkages you need some sort of special tool that he does not have. Is there a way to adjust them without that tool or if possible to make/order one?

Good day for all
I have issue with wiring of 407 1.8 16v
I found an other wiring group but the plug connector going to ecu is small not 48 V MR
The ecu is Sagem s2000 pm2
My question is I can remove the wires from the small plug and solder them in the other plug old one according to same colours?

As the title says, I experience this situation when I am driving along in 2nd gear and it stutters briefly and then drives normally.

What could be the cause of this.

I do not notice it when the AC is off.

So, owning this little 206cc I've learnt a lot fr0m it, its time now to make an oil catch can , as its sucking through to much oil and blowing through the turbo and out the exhaust .

Will this effect the emissions ?

I'm planning to remove the ac compressor on my little 206cc as to be honest the ac rad had been taken out plus a pipe has been removed last yr. Reason ac was empty and almost £100 was spent else where rather than a 2006 old car that only gets used when i fancy driving it.
My plan is to removed the compressor and fit a smaller aux belt.
Its a...

Hi All,

I have recently purchased an RCZ with light front crash damage- all brackets and crash structures are intact.

However, it wasn't checked if the car could run, it was unconfirmed at the auction sale.

I checked the photos for clues but the close up of the instrument cluster only showed the mileage, and other shots didn't show the rev...

Having a bit of an issue but only every now and again,
My 14 plate 1.6hdi now and again when changing gear keeps the revs held until I'm into the next gear and then they drop
It does not do it all the time though,
If i keep the clutch dipped they will hang or stick say at 2250rpm but then lower after a few seconds it weird why its doing it.

Hello @ all.
I'm new here, so I don't know the customs.

I got a 2013er Peugeot 208 1.6l VTi automatic, left hand driver due to being in South Africa.
I have had many issues with the car since I bought it because all the mechanic/auto electrician etc know nothing about Peugeot's (I include the dealers here as well).

Hello,

My 508, 1.6 THP, 156 BHP has passed the 200K (KM) mark (124K miles). The manufacturer's original recommended oil service interval schedule is 20K (KM). I shortened the intervals to 15K (since 160K) - should I reduce it to 10K now ... ? the car is running about 70-80KM/day 50/50 (engine running time) city driving/outer city driving. The...

Hello dear friends,

Stumbled on new problem would say with my Peugeot 508 2011 2.0 163 PS.

Strange thing started to occur, when going from 1st gear while standing i can feel something like kick and than car will move, it is not always, but sometimes.
After that while doing 120-130 km/h and when i start to deaccelerate and car shift from 6th-5h...

This thread ive started is about the air pressure we put in our car wheels.

My 206 claims to have a maximum 44 psi, i was running 35 then went to 43.5 psi how ever this difference has made the ride hard. My tyre size is 195,50,15 im considering r7nning back to 35 psi again for a less harder ride .

How comes what the door post sticker says is...

Hi, I am new to this forum and have a problem with an RCZ with the 1.6 200 engine. The timing is set correctly using the right tool, the sensors (2x Cam and 1x Crank) give good, clean square and sawtooth outputs and the engine starts and idles nicely (though the exhaust smells rich). It will also rev well when parked up. However, on driving it...

Hi all, I am working through an issue with an ECT sensor problem & thought i'd introduce myself here.

First of all though I managed to contact member MikeT through this forum & he has kindly gone out of his way to come over to me & gone through some diagnostics with his diagbox software & we are progressing along ok. I offered him a small...

Good day all. I'm happy to be here. Please what is the cause of the code p0299 popping up the check engine light making the car turbocharger to be idle and not pick as before. Thanks.

What other models, assuming there are any, use the same lamp assembly? It might be easier to find a second hand one if it's widely available on other vehicles.

Hello all,

I have a problem on my 2007 Peugeot 207(VIN:VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]): the coolant is overflowing from the expansion tank even when the cap is tightly screwed.
It all started a few days ago when I noticed some fluctuations in the temperature gauge. Thought that maybe there was not enough coolant and topped it up to max.
