207cc cuts out 30 seconds after starting

Unread post by mallorcaben »

Help, my 207CC keeps cutting out 30 secs after starting.
Its at the garage and hes stumped.
Hes changed the cam sensor and vvt valve sensor but he seems to think its something to do with the VVT.
Would taking it to a Peugeot dealer help, ie would they have better diagnostic kit?

Has it had a proper diagnostic session with a PSA or high end diag tool? If not you could be throwing money at parts it doesn't need. The diag won't tell you the exact fault but will give an idea of where to start.

Notice the BX is still top the list but sadly gone

It was water ingress in the ECU.
It works its way up by capillary action into the ECU, a common fault apparently.
