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 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...

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 .

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...

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...

Hi everyone, I'm hope somebody on this forum could help. I own a 2010 Peugeot 5008 1.6 thp. I bought the car with a misfire and this turned out to be a burnt out exhaust valve on cylinder 1 (flywheel end)

With the car running again on four cylinders. And the codes cleared. All seemed ok. Re scanning the car I got a oil pressure higher than...

Hi all, just gone into servicebox to try and ascertain whether the clutch set (3pc) is the same between the 206 GTi and the 206 GTi180, and of course I forgot they now charge us to look at the pictures of the parts we used to be able to buy! :twisted:

Could anyone with a subscription confirm/deny my thoughts that they're the same? (pretty sure...

In the last 6 months i have changed the injectors and seals, the maf sensor, handbrake switch and then the dreaded dpf light came on and wouldn't clear causing the asr light to come on.

Hi I've got a Peugeot 3008 1.6 HDI, which appears to have an injector issue (injector 1), I've been told there may have been a previous recall on my model (2012), but I am unable to find any confirmation of this. Does anyone have any definitive info about a possible recall before I go to main dealer. Car uk registered originally but now French...

So I have a 2008 308 1.6THP 150BHP 65000 miles The car has a very rough idle and is very underpowered.

I recently bought a 308 with a few electrical issues.

I've sorted out the worst by changing the com2005.

But the airbag issue was a burning smell coming from the airbag ECU.

I stripped it down and bought an identical ECU from a non-crashed car. However when I have gone to fit it, the burning has damaged the connector on the wiring loom.

I am in the process of replacing the starter motor on a 207 1.6 HDI thus far I have located two 6mm M8 allen bolts almost accessible from underneath, I think there are three, has anyone done this job and lived to tell the tale, any pointers?

I recently bought a 2007 Peugeot 207CC with the AL4 auto gearbox with 130,000 km on it, that was reported as having low compression on cyl 1. It turns out that the oil level was about 90mm above the top mark - I drained 7.5 litres from it. There was no sign of water in the oil. You have to wonder. Taking the engine cover off revealed that exhaust...

Hi, just joined the forum as I’ve just purchased a 207 gti with a few issues, it had been sitting on the previous owners drive for around a year, I believe it had had the usual depollution faults. He had been clearing the faults which had been ‘fixing’ the car for a time but they always returned.

He had left it for around a year and the battery...
