I am in the need of upgrading the alternator on my Peugeot 205 (TU3MC 1.4L) in order to have enough current to support two 100W rally lights as well as fans from a 205 diesel. Now I was looking into other cars with TU blocks that mightve come with a larger alternator but so far have not found anything that could easily be put on my engine. The...

Hi guys, ive had the check engine light come on my Peugeot Partner mk3 2019 1.6hdi, Ive had 2 mobile mechanics look at it with no joy, it seems it could be related to the stop start system, which is weird because its never actually worked before, but now i've got this problem, the stop\start has started working.
I am hoping someone has experienced...

Hi all,

I have a 2010 308 cc 1.6 vti allure, and my driver side window is having issues. It has been broken for 2 years now and i havent been able to move it.

My Dec '99 Pug 806 Hdi has given me great service since I bought it in 2002
For about 6 years it's been pretty much mothballed with only about 1,000 km per year usage, mainly on trips to the tip where she's really usefull.
Because of the above it's not had a spanner on it for ages & the whilst it still passes the 2 yearly CT (MOT) the list of...

I know this is a long drawn out post so TLDR : aircon made weird noise now cycles on and off on its own.

I wonder if anyone can point to what is going on here, I have a 2020 Peugeot Expert 2.0 HDI and at first the air con was absolutely fine, last winter the van started making a kind of hooting noise periodically, I traced it to when the AC was...

Hi All,

I love driving my Peugeot 207cc (2007 model) with the roof down.
My roof always worked like a charm: no noises, quickly etc.)

Suddenly the following was the case:
I tried to open the roof:
Pressed switch down, windows lowered all four, roof procedure started as normal (boot lid opened, roof folded in).
After my roof was folded in, the...

Hi all once again.
Just had a bit of calamity on my sons 308 1.6hdi (110hp) - so double camshaft with chain between them.
He broke down, AA claimed timing belt. Got it home, timing top cover taken off to check and belt is intact. Rotated engine by hand, put timing pins in Crank pulley and Camshaft pulley and they lined up perfectly (and not...

Hey everyone,

I have a Peugeot 508 2.2 HDi automatic, and I’m trying to understand an ESP / steering angle sensor issue that started after replacing the steering rack.

Here’s the full situation.

A while ago I replaced:

steering rack
tie rod ends
timing belt
coolant
battery (brand new Bosch battery)
AC system repair
wheel alignment

After the...

So,
I joined up the forum as it appears we've been sold a pup, 2019 Partner 1.5Blue.....Was told that it 'sometimes loses power going up hills...' So far replaced the complete wiper assy, the radio as the touch wasnt working, found there arent any front parking sensors fitted due no doubt to an earlier smash...Just invested in a DIAGBOX/LEXIA and...

I have a 2020 1.5 bluehdi 130 gt line Automatic. It wont start and displayed electronic immobiliser fault . I put new batteries in the key fobs and checked the main car battery. It has now gone into eco mode and just displays the 3 warning symbols for parking brake fault and a beep when pressing stop/start. No other dash lights come on.

Good evening all.

My 2011 mk1 5008 2.0 hdi Automatic (Aisin Transmission ) has a tear in left inner CV joint boot .
I was hoping I could expand a cv boot abd slip it over the tripod but that didn't work ,tripod is press fitted and splines staked to stop it coming off.

My next attempt is to remove the wheel side CV joint and fit the boot from...

The engine fires readily, but stops after a couple of seconds. This is completely repeatable it fires every time and the amount of time it runs for does not vary much. The van was running fine and has been parked for a few weeks. The fuel filter is not blocked - plenty of flow with the outlet pipe off and the low pressure pump running. Fuel...

So the coolant has got transmission fluid in it, and my transmission fluid (AM6) has got coolant in it.

I have drained the transmission and coolant from the car (2008 Peugeot 407 2.0hdi) and removed the heat exchanger from the front of the transmission. I expect at least I will need to replace that and seals?

What would be the best approach to...

2001 Peugeot 406 HDI90 estate.
I had all the windows open yesterday to stop the seats melting (it was 35c) and when I tried to close them again the left rear would not raise on the button. Of course then we had a thunderstorm that appeared out of a clear sky and I had to scramble to cover the open window space. Today I am trying to fix the problem...

Hello everyone,
Maybe i dont know how to search but never found an answer.
PSA seems to have 2 types of piloted manual gearboxes in all the 2000-x cars - either 6 speed with hydraulic actuators (called EGS6 or ETG6 or BVMP6) fitted with 1.6HDI and bigger engines or 5 speed with electric motor operated actuators (BVMP5) fitted to 1.4HDI engines...

I thought it just had a couple of pins that go through rubber mounts at the bottom and it should just pull up, I dont want to...

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum so pardon my mistakes If I do.
I have a 2014 Peugeot 308 2.0 hdi.
Background: It has been to one of the garages here when it had non-start issue. The garage replaced some fuse box (god know which one) and the car worked for a week and then came back on a flat bed.
I got the starter motor replaced and they still...

Hi I have peugeot rifter 2022 model with 8 speed automatic gearbox, mechanic took it in for gearbox issue, as far as i am aware he did work on valve body, then car goes into P and doesn't not come out from park. hope someone can help.

Hello everyone

At the beginning of this year I've bought a Peugeot boxer 2.0 2018 with snapped timing.
I was planing to use it as a campervan base and because I never did anything like this before it seemed to be a good idea, as I was hoping I'll get away with only the rocker arms, camshafts and tapets. It was cheap and straight body.
It wasn't...

I'm hoping this might ring a bell with someone. The vehicle is seemingly in good health, no fault codes, runs ok, clean exhaust under start up and usual driving. That is until the van starts an active regen at which point great clouds of billowing white smoke are emitted from the exhaust during acceleration. Once you get up to a steady speed on...

I have read that my car can have fuel filter either by the side of the tank or in the in-tank fuel pump assembly.
I tried looking on the side of the tank but cant see any filter.

Hello all, this is my first time on here also a new driver so if what I say about my car doesn’t make sense bear with me. Basically my Peugeot 207 2012 would not start you turn the key no response, all fuses and battery have been checked nothing wrong with them. There is no power even to the obd port so I can’t use a scanner. The only things that...

Hi all, my trusty 406 (HDi 90) has had a coolant leak for several years now. I love the car and it's taken me and my family everywhere, so I want to get this addressed.

I've identified the source of the leak at the thermostat housing. The housing itself looks fine (from the angle I've looked at) and the leak seems to be coming from where a pipe...

Surfed all over the internet, contacted TomTom, Peugeot dealers in my city and all over. Nobody can give me information. Why there are not new maps update for NAC wave 2 (for 308SW T9 Allure from 2017)? Last update was in Dec 2024.
Anibody here do you know something about this?

Hi all -

I've got a 2017 Peugeot Boxer with the 2.0 Euro 6 engine - new to me, that I purchased as a non-runner and had a rebuilt engine fitted. It's now running, but has a bit of 'hesitation' when accelerating - most notably around 1800-2000rpm, and also gives off black smoke from the exhaust when accelerating or under load.

I've checked/done...

Hi, new to the forum and in desperate need for advice/help..

I have a Peugeot 207 with the AL4 automatic gearbox. It's triggering a 'Gearbox Fault' with a thud during motorway deceleration. The local garage stuck some diagnostics on it and it showed a solonoid fault. A gearbox oil change was done which helped, but the fault remains - even though...

I've just had the top, front suspension mounts replaced, and a month before that, the alternator. I have recently enquired on here about the radio (in-car entertainment system*) not working, and despite, I believe, following the instructions given, it still doesn't. Some of this may be relevant.

After the suspension was repaired, I took the car...

Hi all,

I have recently bought a 2014 308 1.6hdi - I have a dull thudding when coming to a stop, a vibration at idle, creaking/cracking/spring noise when going on and off the clutch, difficulty engaging reverse and 1st gear, and intermittent metallic clunk when changing gears. Clutch pedal is very high and grinding noise and sometimes doesnt...

Got myself a handbook for the fuse location in the glove box and ratings. My roof has an issue and it’s been suggested to check the fuses first.

In the hand book it states that the maxi fuses for the roof are on the top of the fuse box, don’t explain how to get to them though, I have pulled gently but nothing seems to move.

Just for me, I’m not...

The car is the 207cc, 1.6l petrol, 2008.
The driver's door lock has failed, mechanically. I've sourced an new one from a scrapy. My problem is getting the failed one off. Haynes Manual and Utube have plenty about the standard body 207 and how to get the lock off which is pretty similar to other cars I've done this on. But the CC has a longer door...
