My 1999 pug 806 has had a problem for a couple of years but as she's been in hibernation I've forgotten about it.
I now need to use her for a while & am wondering why the front passenger door (RH door on LH drive ) will lock on the central locking key fob but not open unless done manually from inside the vehicle or use the key. The button jumps...

Hi, I've got a hyperactive alarm and just wondering if there's any common cause.
Alarm started false alarming a few weeks ago the first time I thought I'd left a window open a crack, then the next time when we had extremely heavy rain and hail. There's also a slow drip on the top of passenger window if rain is very heavy so I initially assumed it...

Hi
I’ve recently changed my timing belt, a Peugeot 2008 and this fault code keeps popping with a permanent status. This has caused starting problems after the code is cleared IMG_4557.jpeg

Hello, as the temperatures dropped, the car developed an interesting characteristic. Normally, it starts with the first key turn. It pulls out of the driveway, and then stops responding to the throttle after about 200 metres. Usually it just gets to idle, but today it stalled the engine while it was still in D (drive). I can step on the...

Hi,

I wasn’t sure which subforum to put this in as my car is actually a 2018 toyota proace verso but as i’m scanning it as a traveller / expert in diagbox i thought this would be the best place. Hopefully that’s ok.

Hi all

I have a 207 with the TU engine in which suffers from the common problem of oil leaking from the front corner of the head gasket. I typically use the BGA head gaskets from my local motor factors and find they only last 1.5-2 years before they start leaking oil again. Can anyone recommend a better brand of head gasket that will last longer...

...a replacement for the Positive terminal clamp/cut-off switch that was on the car. It's a ERMETO HYDEXCO BATTERY TERMINAL CUT OFF. A handy screw-on/off terminal disconnect that apparently was standard on some French cars of that era. Anyone have one, especially the lower threaded piece which attaches to the Pos battery terminal? If so, PM me and...

While driving out the other night, my trusty van broke down. I was just pulling away from a roundabout when something went, it lost a lot of power, the turbo stopped whistling and the engine was clattering. There was a fair bit of white smoke from the exhaust and a strong smell of raw diesel.
I've since been towed home and had a mobile mechanic...

Our 308 CC with the EP6-CDT engine has started to smell of petrol, but it seems to be intermittent. The fumes are raw fuel (not exhaust nor crankcase fumes) and seem to be drawn in through the air conditioning system, usually after idling at traffic lights or similar. Annoyingly it has never happened at home, not has any smell been detected under...

Hi everybody, I got this car a month ago from a used car dealership. I noticed some unstable little shaking of the engine in neutral (like every 4-5 seconds trembling a little), and recently my check engine light came on, remained there for some days, and then went off. I checked it on OBD2 (the cheap one) and found some error codes that are...

Heating in my 308 started to act up, totally randomly, no heating. I browsed trough Peugeot TSB, and I found one with the issue. TSB says to replace AC control unit. I still didn't check the price at the dealer, but I suspect it's not cheap. :D

Part number is 9832228080.

I found many affordable used control units. TSB mentioned that coding has...

Hello.
I'm trying to find a mating part connector for the sensor 9646573380 (see photo) but I can't find part numbers or anything. Can anyone help me please?

I'm currently looking around for one of these vans but I've heard that quite a few euro 6 Boxers/Relays end up coming in for engine swaps at low miles. (*Possibly* due to the timing belts snapping on the 2.0 euro 6 engine?).

I wondered if anyone here has any insight on that and could recommend which engine is worth going for: 2.0 or 2.2 BlueHDi...

Well, with the weather in NE Ohio finally starting to seem more like Spring, it's looking like my recently-acquired 306 Cabrio can finally, eventually, venture out of the garage. Plans are for a complete (and I do mean COMPLETE) fluid bleed-out and change, a new battery, and a trip to the local detail shop, to let them work their magic. I put the...
