Peugeot 207 1.6hdi Everything about.

[Huskyxantia]

I have always none my wheel bolts to 95 torques. May have to revise that.

Yep found out today these 207 1.6hdi with alloys are 120nm !

Be worth double checking those torque figures - I'm sure earlier Peugeot, front hub nut torque is huge (325Nm? From memory, will check Haynes in morning) - so just 175Nm sounds very low!

Might be correct, but wheel bolt torque I normally use 206 etc is 95Nm so your 207 figure of 120Nm is quite a way above that too. Again, I'll double check in morning (haven't a 207 manual though)

Figures from Haynes:

Wheel bolts torque:
306 =85Nm
307 =85Nm
406 =90Nm

(Seems I have been overdoing it a touch on all mine at 95!)

Hub nut torque:
Front, driveshaft nut:
306, M20 nut = 265Nm (think this is smaller engined models)
306 M24 nut =320Nm
307, only one value quoted =325 Nm
406 =325Nm

So whats the 207 ? 36mm nut isnit 170 Nm


Rear, stub axle nut:
306
Drum brakes, Bendix + ABS =185Nm
Drum, not Bendix + van =200Nm
Rear disk=185Nm

307 =210Nm

406 =275 Nm

406 drop link nuts = 40Nm

So all the Haynes torque figures are higher for hub nut, lower for wheel bolt

For the above, Matt, have i done my hubnut correct ? The nut size is 36mm and I've seen and found 2 that did 170Nm the r pin slides in just right, if i were to do over 300Nm the gap from pin to nut is very noticeable

Just did this to my 207 this week. Not me in the video just sharing link here incase anyone else needs to see what you have to do

325Nm Hub nut toque
This is what ive just found on a peugeot forum so these 2 videos ive seen with the mechanic doing 170Nm ! AutoDoc shame on you.

!! 207 is 325 Nm !!

Rattle gun are ok you just have to know when to stop lol

Yep, shear it off, then back half a turn!

Like this, you mean:

Oh those were the days !

So later today im going to nip the hubnuts to 325 as i recall each shoulder = 50° , things to do ,brake fluid needs replacing
Timing belt kit in the summer , what ever summer means, rear shocks need checking plus rear brakes need cleaning.

I've rebuilt the complete front suspension , front brakes cleaned rebuilt ,oil seal gearbox driveshaft one. No more leaks. Fluid bag changed dpf cleaned both reset on planet.

Good progress already,

The little "hat" that goes on the hub nut = just keep rotating it in different positions, always find one is near enough for the R-clip to go in eventually in my experience.

Brake fluid: "easibleed" thing makes it easier for me, though I mentioned it here previously and one was bought off back of my recommendation - it can be a right faff to get it to seal and played up lots for them!

I'd consider buying a set of bleed nipples ahead of doing the fluid change - almost always rusty stups waiting for you, so nice the be able to swap for new. About £8 for a set of four. Think they'll be M7 or possibly M10 but don't take my word for it

Hub nut all done , i worked out the measurement from the 170Nm to my wrench maximum 210Nm then this made it possible to work out the distance left , worked out a shoulder and a quarter of a turn so i thought, I then drove to a well know service center got them to check the tracking & gave them a drink after asking nicely if they could check the hub nut for tightness it was on 320Nm !! Just 5Nm out , even the lad in the garage was impressed he nipped it up to the full spec with a decent size gizmo then gave me the money back id give him for his time . He said they weren't busy and didn't mind helping , all done tracking all good to. Next job brake fluid change .

Matt i think Front & back are different sizes drum back disc front as far as i can recall

Bleed nipples? Ah ok. Sorry I'm no help on drum fittings nothing I fiddle with has them (ok, drum in disk on the 406 Coupe but no hydraulics in the drum bit)

Might be worth asking Marc on the part numbers thread - quite often some dimension data in the part description

[MattBLancs]

Nicely done on the torque "guess" - my torque wrench does up to 250 Nm so I normally just do that plus some more on the breaker bar to follow.
