I have a problem with fuel leakage from the little white cross headed part at the base of the fuel filter pot.
If i attempt to remove the spring finger clip to gain access to the plastic filter is there an O-ring on that piece and if so what size O-ring is it , is there a real danger of damaging the finger clip and if so where can i buy a direct...

I have a peugeot 3008 and am having a load of issues with the dpf. 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. I have replaced the dpf filter for a new one and checked that the pressure pripes are clear,...

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. Some items this is worse than others and sometimes the idle settle down at about 1000rpms but most of the time it jumps between 700-900 rpms and sometimes stalls. There is water getting into the drivers footwell and seems to have been water...

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.

Does...

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...

Hi folks, I've scoured these forum posts for someone who has had a problem with the immobiliser on a 206cc. Lots of info, but I could only find one specific post on resetting the immobiliser but unfortunately it didn't work for me :( That was remove shunt fuse, wait 15 mins, replace fuse, foot on accelerator, switch on, wait 5 seconds and...

Well worth doing this , taking out the seats and all the carpet. One of those well hidden areas where the rust will hide and generate !.
A long overdue job, however i have come across a supply problem, the two steel plates secured in by a circular gasket in the passenger foot wells need replacing .
Where can i obtain new or new fabricated ones or...

Hi everybody,

I have a problem with my clutch. When the car is in gear or in neutral it runs fine. However, when i press the clutch down I get a funny scratching sound. I also tried pressing the clutch fully down (in gear) and putting a little bit of throttle on, this made the car move. So obviously the clutch is not disengaging fully but i am...

Hello. I have a peugot 207cc gt (2008). 5 days ago i had the eml and anti-pollution lights appear and also the fan came on after i turned off the ignition and stayed on for about 5 minutes, so i took the car to the garage. They replaced the heat sensor and injectors. The car drove beautifully after with no problems.

Today i had both eml and...

A couple of weeks ago my master cylinder went. Peugeot replaced the part with no need to work on the clutch due to this being an external part hence no clutch contamination. But since the work I’ve noticed a whining noise from the car when decelerating. There is no issue when selecting gears no clutch slip and no noise on accelerating but when...

Begging for a wiring diagram didn't work for me so now I've belled each wire, and I'm confident I have the wiring sorted.
Next thing: I'm using the standard Bosch ECU but I don't have the transponder/key. I have the clocks but no looms to use them. I have the BSI, but I'm hoping to lob it in the bin.
If I get the ECU immobiliser deleted, the...

Hello
First post on here for me though I have been looking at this forum for a while - probably the best uk peugeot forum in my opinion.
I have the p 0104 and p1351 fault codes - read with a basic generic code reader, MIL illuminated.
Re p1351 I checked the glow plug resistance values and found that two of them are open circuit. Sprayed them...

As per the title really, I'm going to delve into the BoL shortly but on the 206SW we just bought with a cooked engine (got so hot the head gasket is literally burned across the water jacket area & has melted fire rings on 1, 3 & 4) on inspecting it to see whether or not it'd be viable to reassemble with a skimmed replacement head I noticed...

All,

'erselfs 205 ('90 3dr) has the big external sunroof. Tail end of autumn, though, the felt runners within the rails fixed to the outside of the roof skin had a bit of a sulk - and crinkled backwards, jamming the glass. Fortunately, we got it closed again, and it's been watertight over the winter.

But. Spring is coming (he says, wildly...

I know it's a bit rude to jump straight in with a question, but here goes:
I've fitted a few ES9 engines to things but now have a ES9 J4S fitted to a buggy. It's all in and ready to go apart from the wiring. I have a couple of diagrams that look like they're correct but the cable ID's don't match the loom I have. It doesn't help that I don't have...

hi all, was hoping to have a discussion and some advice on a lead for a project ive debated with.

I have a Suzuki Jimny (not manly, imposing or fast, but those who know, know theyre a hoot!)
I've been itching to have a diesel again though (and yes, I've thought about selling this and buying, but I like the Jimny and a challenge), so I did some...

He noticed one of the plastic blanking covers has come off one of the roof bar mounting points is the ones that cover the chrome bits in the roof. Are they only available at the dealers or is their another source or will other makes do?
Any help or advice appreciated😁

I thought I'd share a recent experience and would like to ask if there's anything I've missed.

Recently I welcomed my 6th Peugeot, a 70,000 mile 10-year old 407 SW 2.0HDi, and I've been giving her a thorough going over and service before putting her to work.

Having had issues with my 406 2.2 HDi additive system, I decided to check the additive....

Peugeot 308 cc

Automatic gearbox

Since I bought the car I had many issues already.

When I bought a car I noticed there is not hot air in cabin. Also I could smell a cooler while driving.

First of i would like to apologize, but the car in question is not a Peugeot, its a Volvo, but it does use the DV6 engine from the PSA group, and i really need some expert advice, so i hope i will be forgiven.

Car starts perfectly, no codes, pulls fine below 3200 rpm, but at 3200 all hell breaks loose, and the engine start juddering, loosing...

I have a 407sw HDI 136, i have had the usual challenging Peugeot problems.

On my way home yesterday the temp went in the Red and the car showed STOP The car Now due to temp.

Hi,

First I should come clean, the vehicle is not a peugeot, it is a 2002 fiat scudo van. However it is really a Peugeot Expert and has the PSA DW10CTED engine so I am hoping there are more experts here!

My problem is that I wanted to change the crank pulley as it was rattling but had a real job trying to remove the crank bolt. 5 minutes with a...

Late last year my daughter's car began blowing the 20A starting circuit fuse occasionally when turning the key to start. Replacing the fuse, and no more problems for a time.

This was happening more and more often, and I replaced the starter motor/solenoid in April this year. The car's been fine....until last week.

The fuse wasn't blowing, but...

Hello Peugeot enthusiasts.

I have a problem with my 207 2007 Peugeot, it just started itself, in the home parking lot luckily,, :)
in gear it hit the house and stopped with windscreen wipers on full

Hei!
I've just replaced one injector on my 508sw 2011 model 115hp. How much tightening torque do i need on the injector holder/forks?

Hello dear members,
Please read my story and tell me what is wrong with my dipstick.

Recently, I had a problem with checking my oil level. The story begins about 7 months ago when I drained engine oil and poured fresh oil into the engine.
The manual says oil capacity of my car is 4.25 Liters. I usually let the oil drain for about an hour and...

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a Peugeot partner 1.6 HDi 75 2007. It’s run perfectly since I got it and the mileage is just shy of 50k.
It started having some sort of oil leak a few days after buying it, just a small patch (I think it could be the power steering fluid as that was really low)

I went on holiday for a week, came home and it just...

Rummaging through the pile of CDs/DVDs on my shelf I found a three disk set of Peugeot TIS / EPC Service box SB18, thought I'd see if they're still of any use.
Got as far as attempting to install them then got the 'Enter the code' message but I don't have the code, any ideas?

I guess it's cloned stuff from Ebay.

Hi there. Am about to attempt (finally) the replacement of the two main solenoids for the upgraded Borg Warner type, to hopefully cure the wretched 'snow and sport' limp mode problem. I embarked on this last year but hit the problem of how to upgrade the Transmission ECU for compatibility for the BW solenoids. I have now succeeded in doing this...
