Aircon is losing charge over about three days and I have my suspicions that the condenser may be the culprit. It appears to have an integral receiver dryer. My question is whether this is so or not. My usual supplier reckons it's a separable piece. I don't want to get it all stripped and find myself stuck for the relevant item.

Anyone confirm...

Rear wiper has never worked as long as I have had the car, and I'm wanting to get it working again. But first, I need to ask a few questions (electrics confuse me to death).

The arm is stuck in the 12 o'clock position, and physically won't move (even by hand).

So, I've checked the electrics. Looking at the wiring, we've got 3 wires - brown,...

Hi All
Can anyone tell me where the code is stamped on a 1997 806 gearbox please.

Fixing a broken silencer box strap on the 206 sw, I happened to grasp one of the lower arms that run to the centre line of the car and was amazed at the amount of movement in it. To me, it feels as though the bushes, particularly at the inner end are either very worn and / or very soft. Thing is though, the car has a virtually new MOT, so they...

Anyone got any advice how to either:-
....get the wiring to feed down the side of a replacement tailgate for wiper motor, rear lights, etc (it enters at the top)

....or get the glass out of a secondhand tailgate without breaking it

...or, incredibly long shot, this one; anyone got a 405 est tailgate glass only? or know of one?

We are supposed to be going to Scotland on Sunday, due to a steering rack problem on the 406 we were going in the C5. We did a trip to Telford and back on Monday and it was fine, Wednesday it started chucking out clouds of what I though was smoke, it was actually steam, either the head gasket has gone or the head has cracked, so that's the end of...

Can anyone recommend an Injector Removal socket that's thin enough to go around No.4 Injector?

I'm a bit put out having just bought a Sealey thin wall Injector socket, which isn't thin enough to go around No.4 Injector (there's a raised bit on the cylinder head which means there's less clearance on No.4 than there is No.s 1,2 & 3.

Working on a newly acquired 206SW 1.6Hdi and decided to change the cam belt as a precaution. On reassembly I have now lost the crank sensor signal, or it's defective. I have a horrible feeling I may have touched or knocked the magnetic bit of the sprocket with a spanner and wonder if this is the issue.

Anyone know of any means to test it...

A quick question regarding pp flow values on the epic. It tells me what they are but not if they are within tolerance. Are there any rough benchmarks out there at different revs?

Oh and thanks hellrazor, I got the kit from Jim, very helpful chap.

Any info much appreciated

Anyone know where the diesel additive pump is on a Peugeot 307 hdi? or know what they look like so I can let someone know what they are looking for as they are breaking a 307

Hi
My 307cc 2.0 petrol has a juddering when setting off from standstill, especially in reverse ?
I have changed the clutch (lower biting point now) but it still judders, strangely it's worse in reverse which makes me think it's not the clutch ?
What else could cause this ?

Hi all. I have a fiat scudo 2.0 hdi. Psa engine as you may know. I'm having issues with it cutting out approaching junctions and such. It also does it whilst idling. I have a code which is p0230. Another fault is it continues running for a few seconds once I've switched the ignition off? The only part I've changed so far is the fuel pressure...

Hi all, been a while. Just wondering if there's anyone fairly local to Congleton that could spare a few minutes to change the headlamp type in the BSI on our 2002 model (multiplexed, obviously lol) 206, we've just upgraded from the old H4 type to the clear H7/H7 type and now need the settings changed to allow the dip bulb to stay on when main beam...

My mother owns a Pug 107 ,07 plate, 2 years ago, it lost half its mileage . It had about 29000 in spring 2014,next bill the mileage was 14000. How can this have happened?

The 107 seems to have developed a problem. The cooling fan is cutting on and off, only staying on for about 3 seconds, then off for about 10 seconds. This happens when the car is cold, started it today, drove out of the drive, stopped to chat to my neighbor and it's cutting on and off like mad. My neighbour suggests the thermostat, but heater...

I need to change the front shocks on my 407 2.0 hdi 135 and while Im at it I want to change the strut top mounts/bearings, looking at various web sites it appears there are two rim sizes 16mm or 17mm now being a newbie to Peugeot and this site is there a way of measuring to find out which I have before dismantling the car.I like to get all...

Hi, long time lurker, first time poster.

My 205 drives well but can suffer from a strange idle most of the time. If left say idling it will go in a cycle of stuttering and then building up to a heavy rev which then calms down. I think this video shows it well

What would you suggest is the cause?

Thanks

So my 206 needs new trailing arm bearings,
Passenger side has a lean on the wheel at top and is wearing the inside edge of the tyre although I can't find any play?

I rang a few garages local to me to get a price but none of them will change them only change complete axle

Why is this?
Looking at YouTube videos it looks straight forward,

Evening all,

I've been off and on the forum since late last year, hungrily eating up the excellent info for all things french related - mostly info for a head gasket change on my 405. The story follows later if you like an accompanying story - I certainly do!

I have a habit of not getting to the point so i've bolded the actual questions! And for...

Hey guys, I have a 2007 Peugeot 307 Sport. It has all the extras except bluetooth, so I'm wondering if I get a genuine bluetooth radio out of a 307 that has bluetooth and turn it on with Diagbox will it work or do I need more? Cheers in advance

Hi, need to diagnose friends emissions failure. It appears to have a throttle body/carb rather than injectors. Got a lamda sensor too but other than that we're working blind so open to hints and suggestions. CO2 high on idle and 2nd fast idle tests.

The exhaust (incl Cat) was new about 18months ago but if it's an overfuelling problem, that will...

Hi
I have attempted to change the cam belt on my 2005(55 reg) 307cc 2.0 petrol (having successfully changed several belts on other cars before).

Hi

I have an 2005 1.4HDI Peugeot 206. My big problem is lack of power ! Very slow 0-60mph (around 45 sec)! Difficult then to get past 60mph, even on slight hills at 50 in 4th at more than 3000rpm it looses speed... This is my 2nd 1.4HDI and the difference between the two is incredible ! Also normally I would get around 60mpg from normal driving....

Hi again chaps.

Another question this one should be easy for you guys! My mate just bought a Fiat camper van it is showing some warning lights and check engine light. He wants to get something for diagnostics but not sure what to buy. The camper seems to have Peugeot Boxer running gear. Thanks in advance :)

I am seriously considering venturing into the current century by purchasing a 407 Coupe at some point in the not too distant future. I would appreciate sensible advice on the strengths and pitfalls associated with this model. I am aware of the costs involved in taxing the V6s at £490 pa (currently), but I do rather enjoy the V6 in my XM 8-)

Im unsure of exactly where the arches align up against the doors inner frame and on the door. Should they sit flush with either wing, door or quarter panel, or is...

Just took the back axle off a gti and have noticed while brushing it down that the end plate moves around when I'm brushing it. The plate at the other side of the arb does not move at all. Should one side have some play when off the car? It doesn't look right :S

I have just looked on my 306 hdi which is having electrical problems with the fans, temp reading and fuel pump.

The Gearbox earth connection part of the wire say half copper part frayed away so could this be causing the problem?

Hi, I have been trying to find a half decent condition van for my son

Hello the stop light started flashing on and off.

When I stopped the car I could hear some kind of motor running with the engine running. I switched the engine off and the motor noise carry on going. I took the battery lead of and the noise then stopped.

I bought a cheap DRL (about 2 euros as in the image) for my 406 D9, but I can not find the empty plug as I found on 406 D8.

Hi Folks
Took the 206 1.1 for a good long run yesterday on fast A roads and started getting a pronounced wobble on the front wheel (s), although think its the nearside one. Only seems to be when I am accelerating hard and 50 mph+ When I backed off the gas it eased off a bit. I replaced the wheel bearing on that one last year and fitted (what I...
