Well, the 1.4 engine has a reputation for leaking oil from the head gasket as we know. Mine has already had a head gasket replacement some time ago, but on 85k miles, was leaking oil again. I hadn't really inspected it, as I presumed it was the head gasket, and I would just keep putting oil in it rather than shelling out to get it fixed. Anyway,...

The Boxxer is rapidly going through os headlamp bulbs. I suspected a poor earth so I removed the entire headlamp to check. It doesn't appear to use body/chassis earth at all. Theres only one cable iI can't trace as I'd have to take the bumper off but i don't believe it is an Earth. Connections are both clean and secure.

Any ideas or should I just...

I've changed the discs, pads, calipers, hand brake cable managed to get everything working fine on 306 hdi.

Now there a hissing sound coming from the brake pedal area. You can drive and it will start hissing but when you press the pedal a bit it goes then either comes back or goes random. The pedal goes a bit spungy I have noticed at the back of...

Well, it's as per the title really. Comparing the 308 with our previous Xsara Estate it really doesn't match up. the ground clearance at the front (and middle) is terrible. We have to take it really easy over speed bumps and there's a hump in the road near our French place that we have approach at just the right angle otherwise we end up scrawping...

So where the cheapest place to buy a new brake booster servo for a 306 hdi year 2000.

It has abs brakes with bendix brakes.

We have a 207 hdi 1.6 16v 90bhp. It will need a clutch sooner or later at 131k when i touch the clutch pedal the clutch starts to slip but isnt just yet at full release..

Looking on ebay theres a few national kits... what are they like? Aviod or fine?

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I have a Peugeot 305 1.3 Petrol (engine code XL5) 4 speed manual transmission year of production 1984 with 200000 km on it, it has been mine since new.

Yesterday I took it for a short drive and noticed a clicking sound from engine cylinder no.3 which continues to click when idling or in higher RPM, I was thinking that the Valves...

I'm at a bit of a loss - the brake lights are on full time, and planet is indicating that the switch is pressed all the time ('Yes'), apart from a brief moment during starting the car when it indicates 'No'. The switch is firmly attached, and seems to operate. When I pop it out and operate it by hand there is one pair of contacts normally closed,...

Hello. I just bought a 2005 Peugeot 206 XS. I swapped the original radio with a Pioneer because I rely on the aux. Unfortunately, the radio won't turn on when I turn on the ignition, then it won't turn off when I remove the key. I didn't give a shot to the original radio, so I'm not sure if the Pioneer is the problem, or there's something wrong...

So my cheap runaround is wearing the passenger side rear tyre I'm guessing it's the axle trailing arm bearings that have failed due to the lean on the tyre, although I can't find any play in the wheel.
I know it's good practice too get a reconditioned axle as the shaft wears when the bearings fail but as the car only cost me £500 I can't justify...

Hello to all , we have been having BSI problems with the 406 (110 hdi) which are in another posting and they have been now worked-around, just yesterday.

However, this morning we started the 406 - all iced up hard - started straight away.

Turned on heaters and screens to de-ice, popped indoors for about 15 mins for a cuppa.

Back out to 406 and...

This one has me puzzled. Front fogs don't work when I put them on the little green light comes on in the dash lights dont work. I checked and replaced the fuse (see attached photo) there is power at both sides of the fuse, but no power at the lights, any suggestions? Is this the correct fuse? BTW the rear fog works fuse.jpg

Another question. I believe I need to change an injector seal but will do the 4 when I get round to it. It's a 1.4 HDi I have a few questions. :-D Manual says to replace all fuel pipes this is going cost more than the car did is there any way to re-use the pipes? Do I need to replace the leak-off pipes? All seals and gaskets? This looks like it...

Hi all,

I have a Peugeot 307 SW HDi from 2007. Over the last year it has developed an issue where the headlights intermittently flicker off. It's becoming dangerous now so I thought I better look into it.

When it happens the dash lights also turn off. Previously the duration was like a quick flicker, you could almost convince yourself that you...

Hi everyone,

My upper radiator hose gets firm when the engine reaches operating temperature. It is firm but not hard. It is still squeezable to some extent (about 4 to 5 centimeters).

I am worried about this. Does my cooling system have higher than normal pressure?

Also worth mentioning:

1 - My car doesn't lose any coolant
2 - The temperate...

Hi there,
I'm wondering if anyone can give me an idea as to what's happened with my clutch on my 307 SW petrol 1.6.

It started out a few months ago... when driving, there would be a noise, similar to a bird chirping, coming from the clutch area of the engine. This would disappear with a very slight press of the clutch pedal while driving.

Hello everyone,

Today I had my car plugged in and it came up with the fault code: P0238 Boost pressure sensor (Open circuit/positive short).
Does anyone know where I can find the boost pressure sensor? I have took a photo of where I think it might be but I'm not sure which 1 it is or if its somewhere else?

Hi, new to the forum..

Recently bought a 206cc and discovered a horrible oil leak

Any ideas where it's leaking from?

The handbrake lever is not going down fully and caused the n/s rear drum to stick I have checked all drums and shoes but found the fault is on the front cable inside the centre console. I think something is jammed underneath it as I rattled and freed off the cable from underneath and it started working again!!

Checked to see how to remove centre...

Peugeot 1.4 HDi uses oil dipstick p/n 117485, while 1.6 HDi uses p/n 1174G2.

If you press the clutch there is no resistance, I have looked under the bonnet and see there is an inch or so of slack in the the cable so i am thinking that i will bodge a spacer onto the cable to remove...

Bought a little 307 1.4 hdi the other week for cheap running costs but it's not sounding great, when driving car the engine is really loud like you can hear it through the bulkhead as if there's a hole behind the dashboard, it runs smoothly and drives fine other than it juddering when setting off in first gear, another issue if anyone has any...

Hello looking in to possibly buying the above as a run around for the kids.

My rear (Tailgate) courtesy light is fitted to the very rear of the headlining. It’s got a constant feed (blue & green wire, blue is live), so I can ‘test power’ it simply by earthing it; therefore presumably its the earth that’s switched.

Had trouble MOTing my 2003 Citroen Relay because the ABS light is on - which is annoying because it doesn't even have ABS brakes!

Anyone tech -headed enough to know what's going on - and how to get rid of the stupid thing? Is there a fuse I can pull?

Hi all,

At my wits end a bit with this, (despite not being a major problem!), and most garages haven't got the patience to listen to an old Peugeot nut's issues.

My 405 2.0 petrol has for the last year or so been cursed with a very inconsistent brake application, it feels like it's 'braking in stages', and very unprogressive. A bit like if you...

Hi all.
Great and helpful forum here. Thank you!

The heater blower won't turn off. It runs permanently at the highest speed. The misbehavior began without event.

The control panel behaves as it should - even pressing 'off' causes the panel to go to sleep, and the little light beside the 'off' button still lights - yet the blower still runs!...

While looking for something else, I discovered this mystery little box with a removable plate in the glovebox of my 207 1.4 16v petrol.

Right there's very few of these about and sourcing parts is by no means easy. Thought I would start this thread as one place to post what ever you may have for a 305 for sale or what you may need for your 305.

I personally need a few bits but the old girl is going well so at this stage it's purely cosmetic.

We are having an intermittent power steering problem with our 2009 Peugeot 807 and we can't find the fault. The steering becomes very stiff with the first drive in the morning but only when the speed goes above 20-30mph. You have to oversteer the car when cornering to overcome the resistance. After doing this a few times the power steering seems...

We are looking at replacing our cars in the near future. The missus likes her 207, but would also like something newer before it starts going wrong (and while we'll be able to afford it).

As the 208 is about the only French modern I'd ever buy, I was wondering if anyone here would have any direct experience with them , specifically the 208 1.2...

hi all

just pulled the glow plugs out and they were a bit unwilling to come out due to carbon build up.

I have been looking into a glow plug reamer to remove the carbon build up before putting the new plugs in.

I cant seem to find anything suitable for this engine???
Has anyone used them on their hdi engine and can they recommend any

I took an injector our with the intention of cleaning them all and noticed that the hole where it goes, (no idea what it's called) is shiny and clean except for right at the bottom where the seal contacts, and it's got a little dry carbon round there.
