Hello Guys!

I have a 407 Coupe 2.7 V6. I bought the car with the RT4 radio missing because the previous owner sent it to repair to a guy and never got it back from him. I bought the car from him and a guy had an RT4 radio so we tried to fit it in my car it didn't boot up you could hear the CD player working and it woke the electronics up but no...

2013 Partner Tepee 1.6 HDI

When weather is cool or damp the car will not start on the first few ignitions first thing in the morning. Engine light comes on. Wait about 30 seconds and then it starts fine. Then it usually starts fine for the rest of the day. Engine light usually turns itself off.

On days when weather is mild or warm there is often...

Hi!

I'm looking to buy a 508, but can't seem to find a place to decode the VIN to get the full list of equipment.
Ive tried carVertical but doesn't give me any details on the equipment.

The VIN is vr3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Appreciate all the help.

Thanks

I've recently installed new rear axle/trailing arm bushes (urgh) and on lowering the car it seems to be sitting lower on the back.

Maybe the springs have gone and it's just my imagination (this is a new car to me) that it's lower than when I started the work but as I was lowering the jack for the final time, the car seemed to just keep dropping...

Dear forum members,

Unfortunately, the electric handbrake system of my car has broken down. I would like to replace it, but the new part does not include the long wire for the manual release. Can it be refitted from the old one, or will it not be possible to release the brake manually?

Sorry for the long story.

I don't know the best way to put this. I'm still quite gutted and I keep telling myself, It's only a car . But it isn't helping much at the moment.

For about the past 15 years, I've been complaining that the headlights on my 1999 model 406 have been woeful. They used to be great. But something happened and I didn't know...

can anyone point me to instructions to get to the temp sensor in the mirror of a 308

its showing incorrect reading and will need replacing

many thanks

Hi
Peugeot 3008 2010
When using either my indicators or hazards there is no bleeping noise. Has anyone any ideas why this would be?

I have a 2019 Peugeot Expert (Vin No VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]) with an intermittent problem with the rear parking sensors which manifests itself with a message on the infotainment screen (and the service light) alerting me to an issue with parking assistance. I can’t remember the exact wording and at the moment the parking assistance is working again so...

Hoping to take one out for a test drive on Wednesday as my local dealer has a used one (and by chance a Citroen C5x for comparison) on the forecourt. What's the general opinion of the Pug as a longer term prospect rather than the C5x? I'm thinking the Citroen has been discontinued in the UK from May however Peugeot has invested in the 408 with the...

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my Peugeot Boxer 2.2 HDi 88kW, year 2010.
After doing a full engine rebuild and injector refurbishment, the engine won't start. It cranks but only produces white smoke.
I'm using Diagbox 9.91 for diagnostics, and I noticed one suspicious parameter:
Injector advance shows 1047°, which seems extremely high.

Any...

Anyone know where can I find SOS BTA module in Peugeot 508 MK1? I have error - dead battery and want to replace it but first I need to find module.

Hi Ive just topped up the Eolys Fluid but for the life in me I cannot find where or how in Diagbox (9.91) I can reset the countdown timer.

I have a 2020 Rifter right hand drive UK spec.

I am installing the genuine Peugeot trailer socket wiring kit 1680089380. The instruction note 4070 seems to be mostly correct. However, the instructions for a fuse block which is part of the kit appear to be incorrect/incomplete. On page 20 figure 35 and page 21 figure 36, the fuse block is shown...

So gents.

I would like to add a subwoofer to my 508 GT Line Hybrid (station wagon)

I kinda hope the wiring (audio) is present somewhere to the right in the trunk (is it called trunk in a station wagon?), since the models equipped with Focal soundsystem, has the subwoofer placed there, and i suspect wiring is the same for all models?

Can anyone...

Hello!

I have bought a Peugeot 407 2.0HDi made in 2007 which has the Aisin TF-80SC (AM6) gearbox.
Overall the shifting quality is very very nice, so much better than the AL4, but the downshift from 6 to 5 feels very strange, especially when the gas pedal is not pressed during the downshift:

6 to 5 downshift begins -> RPM drops to 1000 ->...

Hello! I am having some issues in my Pug 508, the adaptive cruise control shows an error message, but only every so often, not every day or every start and is usually ok after i restart the car. Yesterday another error showed up and after the shop diagnosed it it showed an error on the ETC - throttle control. Could these 2 be linked? the shop told...

Hi All,

Hope you are doing well under this extraordinary situation.
There is an annoying unsolved issue with my Peugeot 3008 Hybird (2012) for almost 2 year.
The symptom comes as follows: Sometimes an error message pops out when the car is just ignited or when the car is driven under a slow speed. Stopping the car right away and re-igniting won't...

Hello,

In 2019, I bought a new Peugeot 5008 (at Stellantis, Croydon). I loved it. It looks great and it is very nice to drive. I adore the small steering wheel and also the dashboard. There is so much space inside, the seats at the back are very easy to fold. I thought I had made a wonderful purchase. But how wrong I was!

- A few months after...

Hi guys. I am the owner of a 2010 Peugeot 5008, I have a leak from the elyos pat fluid tank, the leak is without any doubt coming from the white cap looking part on top of the tank that IAM thinking is a breather valve. I would like to know from those who are in the know if the valve can be replaced or repaired or so I require a whole replacement...

I'm in the process of telecoding the abs module on my 508 rxh .It's my understanding that I can't telecode any module using Diagbox 9.80(what i'm using now to scan and erase code on the car ) because it requires the PSA Verified Network.
I have downloaded Diagbox 7.83 and it should let me telecode without needing the connection to the PSA servers...

Hi, I'm having a slight issue starting my van sometimes, occasionally it takes quite a few turns to start, say 3 or 4 seconds, then usually fires up normally, or it tries to start and stalls. But most of the time, probably 90% it fires up almost instantly. I've also noticed that occasionally as well it drives a bit lumpy a slow speeds for the...

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...

Found this on yt so popping it here as its some good useful videos

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)

From research this is part of the wheel bearing - is there are way to replace just the ring from behind the bearing...
