Hi folks,new to this forum.
Basically my van semi died yesterday,lost power at very low speed (15mph) was chucking black smoke out of the back.
Had been parked up for 12 hours so wasn't warmed up.
I've checked fuel filter etc but they are all new.
Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem.

Vehicle is an 07 (mk2) Peugeot expert van 2.0 hdi

Well the little 206 just provided some entertainment lol, the better half was taking one of the boys to stay at his nana's & as they left I noticed the brake lights were on permanently so I called them back.

No problem, thinks I, it'll just be the switch has been dislodged by my big clodhoppers when I moved the car a couple of days back. So I...

Hello I am a brand spanker to the forum, that much of a brand spanker that this is my first post of anykind. That said I have been reading lots about the 305 discussions from the forum as they have come up in google searches. Anyway I'm Dan and I wondered if those in the know would be kind enough to answer a few questions or point me in the right...

so I have here a 407 sw hdi with whine noise.

Could it be the alternator clutch pulley?

Is there any option to get rid of this clutch pulley and convert it to normal pulley?

Hi all, recently got my 406 HDi and overall I'm extremely pleased with it, quick, great to drive and supremely comfortable. :-D However, the air con doesn't work, and from what I can gather it's an electrical problem as the compressor doesn't click on and there's no voltage at the connector to the compressor clutch. I'd be pleased if it were a...

worth a mention this, having finally gotten around to doing my cam belt.

So I've fitted the new belt, removed the locking pins from the pulleys & flywheels
Turned it by hand
Re-fitted the top engine mount and starter to run it and ensure its ok
Turned it on the starter, with the stop switch disconnected
All good so far....

I starts it up, runs...

Set off for a day out with the missus today, arrived at our destination after an hour of smooth, pleasurable motorway driving, realised that the event we wanted I go to wasn't all that it meant to be and left to find something else to do.

After about 2 minutes at 40mph down an A-road, a flapping noise suddenly appeared, followed by a heavy...

Hello dear members!

I need some info regarding my car's normal operating temperature when going steep uphill with A/C on in hot summer days.

I have the following problem:

There is a road near where i live. It is very steep uphill for about 5 kms. In summer when outside temperature reaches 40 °C , if i drive uphill in that road with A/C on my...

Thanks

Hi there, I'm currently fitting a Dw8 from a '03 berlingo into a' 01 306 (both lucas pumps) and it's time to start resembling the new engine . I've fitted the injector pump, cooling pipework, gearbox etc from the 306 onto the engine.
I've noticed that the injector with the wire does not fit the 306 loom. Will it work if the wires are joined or...

Has anyone removed or know how hard it is to take the Eolys tank out of a Peugeot 307 2.0 hdi.

I have been told that the pump needs replacing! To replace the pump do I need to drop the whole additive tank out?

Cheers

We have Peugeot 605 with 2.0L XU10J2 engine & manual gearbox, the only version available in Indonesia, with final drive ratio 4.4. But the traffic jam is horrible in Bogor & Jakarta surrounded which obsess me to exchange with automatic gearbox ZF 4HP20 ex 406 but the final drive ratio only 3.73.

Is there any workshop could make the final drive...

Hi

Can anyone tell me how to get the side sliding door handle off an 07 mk2 peugeot expert van please? Its got me pulling my hair our. :(

Replaced front struts and springs today, and I thought whilst the car was up, I'd replace the bottom ball joints as one was a bit worn.

4 hours later, the ball joint is still in the hub carrier. I've had an air impact ratchet on it, blow torch, lashings of WD40, breaker bar, the kitchen sink, everything was thrown at it, but it hasn't moved an...

Hi I have a Peugeot 407 sw 08 plate. It has a rt4 system and for some reason it has gone into a mode saying please insert upgrade CD it also has 2:13 in the bottom left corner. The other strange thing is it has the mialige in Km and not miles. Any info would be very greatfully revived. Thanks.

Hi. I was wondering if any one else has had a problem with the edge of the roof above the windscreen rusting and also how to repair it as i really dont want to remove the screen if i can help it? Thanks in advance.

Been thinking for a couple of weeks something was amiss, it just felt a bit 'wobbly' on the front. Noticed yesterday that it has started wearing the outside edge off the NSF tyre. Hmmm. A quick look under the NS wheel arch reveals a broken spring #-o that'll be it then. No doubt a new strut top bearing will be needed, and what chance the drop link...

Hello all,

I recently did a clutch change on a friend's old 1.4 petrol 307, flywheel skim, gearbox recon and various bushes etc, and naturally changed the rear crank seal as a precaution. Well, technically, I didn't do that one bit - I let him do it!

So it's all back together and after only one trip there's engine oil weeping from that area, so...

307 2.0 HDI DW10ATED RHS Engine

I had the timing belt, water pump, thermostat and temp sensor replaced at a garage a couple of weeks ago, and to cut a long story short, I also had to replace the turbo wastegate solenoid valve, as the mechanics had damaged it. I bought the valve from a breakers, and tested it by sucking on the inlet, all seemed...

The oil and service mileage indicator has stopped showing on start up on my 307 2.0 hdi 110, I just get the little spanner for about 5 seconds and the rest of the screen is blank. After about 10 seconds, the screen shows the total mileage and trip counter as normal. Haven't changed anything other than take of a wheel to replace the track rod...

OK I can't see this being easy, if possible at all but would love to hear if anyone's done this/tried & failed/tried and could have but was too much hassle/would fit but look really gash/ etc... 206cc rear seats (and centre trim) into a 206 5dr hatch...

OK now you've stopped laughing... but there does seem to be a fair old few cc's with full...

Gggrrrrhhhh.... Ongoing problem with 09 multifunction screen
Started off just switching itself of and on then screen went off and was off a while, took it to local garage for mot and they scanned resultshowed no faults but screen plainly not working, appears to have power, randomly spat out a music cd one day. Then suddenly started working one day...

Wonder if anyone can help with this. The new 206 1.1 (2001) I got my daughter has always had a very low clutch bite point, as in the carpet pile! It always crunches into 1st and reverse, and can be really hard to get into first when pulling away from a junction and grinding when engaging reverse. As the cogs slip in OK when the engine is off, I...

Hello
can anyone tell me the best was to disable the high pressure diesel supply if I wish to crank the engine over with the injectors removed please .
thanks

My Citroen C5 is due an MOT and I always start thinking of alternatives around this time. Mainly because after 4 years of relatively trouble free motoring and the recent expiry of a 4 year warranty, I worry a little about expensive suspension and electrical repairs which are almost sure to need addressing in future.
Having looked at almost every...

Hi all..

Im trying to sort a 307 out for MOT.. But i got the dreadded Air Bag light on.

Im getting Drivers Module Trigger Open Circuit fault.. Level 2

How likely would it be the air bag itself?? Does anyone know how i can test the comms2000 as i beleve the ribbon connector can cause issues..

The 307 1.6HDI 110 I had problems was leaked excessive oil on top of manifold, the car has done 156,000 miles. I took off rocker the cover there was no leaked on rubber seal. Right the next level look into injection 2 out of 4 them were very messing in oil. I order new seal one is rubber, and white plastic with copper ring. I went replaced I could...

Hi everyone,

New member here with a freshly acquired 106 GTi. Everything is good with it bar a weird central locking problem...

When using the key in the drivers door, all works correctly and all the doors unlock. Press the button on the remote (1 button remote) when its locked and it will unlock all the doors. Press the button again and...

As the recent 206 came with only one key, decided to get a spare. Have run straight into a problem though. The Diagbox will get right to the point of entering the engine immobiliser code, but the message always comes back BSI locked, wait 15 minutes before retrying.

I am presuming that the immobiliser code it's asking for is the four character...

Hi everyone!

So I've just bought a my first car which is a 1993 Peugeot 405GR Estate 1.6ltr! It has 233,000km on the clock but the engine has been overhauled (As per the previous owner, No idea why at that mileage) at around 150,000km

Upon purchase there were quite a lot of problems with the car so I was able to reduce to price since I was on a...

Hello again all, just got back from a rainy scrapyard session and amongst other things we grabbed a better stereo for our 206. When tested, the unit (VDO 22RC280/65S, basically the same as what came out but with a CD instead of tape deck) works but displays REG ON and does that annoying bleep, but it never asked for a code so am I right in...

Hello everyone,
im sorry because it is borring topic.
I wanted to buy 107 and I was sure from the information that it was Polish branch but it is French. And because of that i dont know where to look for the info of the car.
VIN number is: VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]
Seller says that it has onky 62000 km and was not after the crash but several things shows...

mostly just curious really, and drawn a blank googling the slightly different engine numbers....

...that PSA have made at least two slightly different cylinder head castings, for no particular reason?

The dirty oily one is my spare engine from a 'M' 306, there's so little clearance between the raised part immediately left of the cylinder head...

Hi, I need to place the door check strap on my wife's Peugeot 306. How do you fit the arrester pin? It looks like a roll pin, not sure how fit it! :oops: cheers Terry.

Couple of weeks ago started to get problems changing gear in my Expert van (1998 R) with cable clutch. At one point I was unable to select first, to the point that I called the RAC to get it towed. However while I was on the phone I managed to get it into gear and drove home.

The next time I tried it I was unable to select first at all, and had...

Hi There
07 Peugeot Expert 2.0 hdi will not lock from the fob or key (it makes all the normal locking noises). I have a fitted a new battery into the fob and reprogrammed it but still it will not lock. I have noticed that sometimes only 1 of the 3 buttons on the fob will work? The actuators are all working fine. The rear of the van will lock via...

I am running about in my daughters first car (Pug 206 1.1 2001) Its a great little car, I love driving it as it feels like a go kart. After a shaky start last year when everything was going wrong, it has been a gem. When driving home on Friday night, the EML came on. No change to the performance at all. Just a light.

I will be selling the car on...

HI
I'm going to look at an 07 2.0hdi Peugeot expert van(Newer shape) tonight and was wondering if any one can help me with the common faults to look out for when buying these vans?
It has 12 months mot and 143000 miles.
Thanks In advance

Owing to the recent demise of one of my 406s and the C5 I am looking for a replacement. I favour another 406 as they have proved very reliable and use the bombproof 2.0. 8 valve hdi, but it has come to my attention that the 307 also seems to use the same engine, so can anyone who runs one give me some advice.

Firstly is the 90hp engine the same...

Hello french car forum members,

Please would someone help me.

I recently swapped the drivers seat in my 2002 Peugeot 307 for one out of the scrapyard as the foam had failed on the base.

On getting the seat back i fitted said seat before then noticing the wiring plugs are different.

Mine (2002 model) consist of a blue plug with the air bag...

Hi guys, :(

The ABS/ESP light came on and my friend connected a Universal computer to it which stated the back right abs sensor is faulty.
After replacing the sensor the error on the dashboard persisted, rechecked with the computer, it stated that the back left abs sensor is now faulty. We changed that sensor too.
Now the error persists and...

Can anyone shed any light on the part numbers I need to service my 1.8 diesel 305 I've recently bought.
Can't find much or any info on them

My Expert has standard-for-30-years H4 halogen bulbs. I just replaced one with my last spare and am just wondering if any of the LED replacements are a good idea? These lamps work in conjunction with the glass and the little shade thing inside the bulb to make the right pattern, so it seems unlikely that LED replacements will work all that well as...

Well, decided to bite the bullet having got my new condensor and fitted it today. Bit fiddly, but yes, it can be done without bumper removal, grille removal or complete fan carrier removal. For me, it worked out like this.

Undo and remove the four push fit clips that secure the upper part of the front grille assembly to the rad carrier. Remove...

Hi guys, hope you can help with a couple of simple questions relating to my 'new ' spare XUD9 (na) engine which I plan to keep for as long as I run my 405, which with luck will be a few years. Having come from a scrapyard its devoid of all fluids.

Should I put oil in the sump, maybe 2 litres, ie a little under half capacity?
Approx how often...

Hi i have a 206 1.2 lx 1999 the battery went flat, the problem now is the speedo is starting from 30mph the rev counter is not working but when reving the car up the rev counter judders as if its stuck. But the fuel and temperature gauge are working perfect. Is there anyway i can reset the whole speedo or can anyone help in any way in pointing me...

Established that mine has the integral receiver dryer and am due to pick up a new one today. Be aware if shopping for this version that a number of people on Ebay with '10 or more' don't actually have any stock and some quoted a wait of a week. Don't get the impression this pattern is falling off peoples' shelves.
Anyway, main point of the post is...

A point in the right direction much appreciated.

Shocked to find this debris settled in the bottom of my brake fluid pot from flushing it last week (it did come out filthy from one of the rears - drums).

Also wasn't able to eradicate all of the air on two of the wheels, small bubbles coming no matter how much I had my assistant pump the...

Looks like the NS rear caliper on the 307 has stopped adjusting the handbrake mech for some reason. Anyone know how they work inside? MOT next week, and pretty sure it will get a fail on rear brake imbalance. I suppose new caliper required, but I could do without forking out for a new one this month, given the grand spent on the C4 last week...
