307cc door handle

Unread post by Expertamateur »

This is a question regarding the "common" fault with the 307cc door handles. There's another thread about it but as its a year old I thought I would start fresh. There is a sensor (oh no, not another) in the door handle that senses when your hand is about to open the door. It automatically drops the window a small amount, just enough to allow the top of the glass to drop out of the rubber seal at the top. Then when the door is closed it raises the window to engage with the seal again. When these things go wrong you find the window going up and down randomly as you drive. I am new to this car and I'm getting sick of this happening and thinking maybe I should have bought something else. I don't want this to happen while the car is parked, it rains a hell of a lot here in Brittany all the time so its not a great car for this region. Someone on the other thread said that the part number for the handle with the sensor is 9101X2. This is the only model of 307 that needs the sensor so I could easily buy the wrong one. I assume ordinary 307s don't need to drop the window first when opening the door. Can anyone confirm this is the correct Peugeot part number for my 307cc (cabrio) petrol 16v 143hp. Thankyou in advance for any comments or advice.

Edit: And are they handed? (left different to right)
And it appears that the part number 9101X2 is loosely used to describe any 307 handle of either side and even doesn't necessarily include the
sensor section included in the handle shown in the exploded diagrams. So anyone deciding to order using just this number is only rolling the dice.

If you provide your VIN I'll check the part number for you. Please post your VIN in full without spaces - it will be automatically masked from public view after submitting your post & will only be visible to staff.

The Door Handle Holder are different for each side
The Door Locks are different for each side
The Door Handle that contains the sensor is the same for both sides.
