hi
I have a problem with my 208 auto and the local garage has been useless, anyone around with the correct diag kit?

I changed the rear brake pads on a 208 2020 with electric handbrake. I used my launch obd to release the calipers. I had to push the piston back after this. Changed the pads and tries to operate the rear brake but I get 2 codes now. One intermittent is C155D automatic application function inhibited and C1544 electric handbrake inhibited Fse for...

I believe from looking at it extensively that there are white connectors to the dpf fluid tank.

My problem is that I can’t find a way to know if I have a pouch or tank, and what type of dpf fluid I need despite trying a lot searching online.

So how is it possible to know from a VIN...

Is there really a way to turn of that annoying system S&S via diagbox? I found contradictory info about that?

If it is possible where in Diagbox look for such option? Have andboy here tried it? I wanted to turn it off using ECU and and all those funny gimmicky cables that for example immitated that S&S is always off and the button really...

The saga so far..........I have given up on trying to lower the roof. Too scared of not getting it to close again and I have no garage but plenty of rain to deal with.
It has been running fine but it is a real fuel guzzler. Sucks it up like a V8. Runs OK but today it started playing up. Started and ran about two miles to the tip, then when I tried...

Hi All

Started getting ABS faults which I put down to the sensor, so swapped both rears out.

This didn't fix the issue and on closer inspection it has a damaged ABS ring on the right side (image attached)

Hi All,

first time posting , i have an interesting problem and need help.

The problem is there is a particular fitting on the top left of the engine to a coolant pipe that has a crack in it. I've taken it to multiple mechanics ( i live in Australia 508's aren't super common ) and no one can figure out what the part is. No one wants to take the...

Hi, oil in the inlet causing rough running on my Mi16.engined Murena.

Where can I actually get a replacement PCV valve?

Tried all the usual, but not listed or in stock. Surely this is a service part?

HELP!

Good morning all,
Owing to the notorious P20E8 fault, I'm looking at repairing or replacing the urea tank on my 2017 308 SW.
The present tank has part number 12674101 and I believe that if I do a like-for-like replacement, no reprogramming will be required.
Unfortunately, the only used tanks I can find at present are labelled P1002559/p1001677...

Probably silly question but maybe covers more than my specific vehicle so someone may have input..

I found myself in my little 307cc going through a dirt track with a few puddles and holes the other day. Due to insufficient surveying of the route a mile ahead on my part, I got myself into a point of no return and a relatively large puddle (would...

Hi all

Hi, I am looking to buy a Peugeot 308 HDI and I have two possible candidates.

1 - 2014 HDI 92 cv with 50000 miles

What would be the best option? Which engine is more reliable?

Thanks!

Help! Does anyone have any experience with the rear coil springs of a 307CC 2.0 hdi (sport)

Hello,

I have a 2013 Peugeot Expert 2.0 hdi Tepee that has started to idle at about 1250 rpm, but if I press the brake pedal, the revs drop back to normal. Also if I switch the engine off for a minute or 2 it seems to reset itself. Sometimes I can drive for about half an hour before it starts doing it again or sometimes it will only go for 10...

Hello learned people! :)

After the auto electrician repaired the cabin blower fan in my D9 1999 406 a few months ago, I noticed that the heated rear window was turning off almost immediately after being turned on. He replaced two parts as pictured below, plus he did some repairs to wiring.

I've done a search on this forum and I came across one...

While driving, it makes strange sounds (video in the link).

Hi all,

I originally posted here ( assessing my options for a replacement or AdBlue tank fix. I ended up picking up a cheap second hand tank from a similar age car, since right now I don't have the time to be fiddling around with pressure sensors.

I've fitted the tank, fired up Diagbox 9.150 and when selecting to option to tell the car it's had...

Hi,

I have a Peugeot 308 2018 1.6 hdi. I recently had an injector repair done. Now when the car reaches around 2000 rpm there is so much vibration. Very little to no vibration in 1st and 2nd gear but 3,4,5 and 6 gears I can really feel it. Any idea what might be causing it?

Can anyone point me in the direction to where the fuel rail pressure sensor is, please, with an Image or a workshop Manual

Info urgently required

Thank you in advance

Anyone get any ideas on which wires could be causing this problem.

I replaced the ECU, BSI and key as the car was not starting. However, I still have the same problem, and garage and RAC are not able to get anything from the diagnostic port.

Hi, My daughter (informed me after the fact) that she hit something on the road which scraped under the car and then the engine light came on. I did look under the car and could not see any obvious damage so may have been a coincidence. I used Diagbox to find code which pointed to NOX sensor but was intermittent so when I...

I was able to understand that Lexia3 is a hardware, a cable device itself that is.
And I understand these are clones of original PSA diagnostic device.

But this device has something about versions V9.91 and V7.83 and then lite vs full gold board something.
Then something about rev B, rev C.

What is this all about ?

I don't even know how to...

Hi everyone.

Recently I changed my transmission fluid on the gearbox and the oil i used was MOTUL Gear SAE 75W-80 Technosynthese. The reason for doing so was because it felt like the transmission wasnt changing gears in a smooth way. After the change it became night and day difference. Especially going from around Gear 2 to 6. Shifting from Gear...

Will changing glow...
