Hi all

I have just acquired a 1995 Xantia 2.0 auto as a project.

Seems reasonably OK 50,000 miles been off road for a year.

Got it trailered home now working through everything slowly.

it has what I presume to be the original strut tops and auto box heat exchanger, probably even has its original cambelt

So I have ordered some new tops from...

Hello from Norway! Have a 2007 Peugeot 407 1.6HDI where I am struggling to make contact with the abs module. New sensors, tried fitted new/used ABS module/Pump, new used BSM fuse box with no luck. Abs lamp comes on during start-up, goes away when driving and returns after 10-20 metres. Checked fuses, connectors and wires. The only fault codes that...

Hello,

I am coming from Croatia and I am a new owner of Peugeot 407 2.0 HDi, I joined in order to gather more information about my car and spread my existing knowledge.

Hi everyone!

I'm Vinc, new to the forum and passionate about French cars, especially Citroëns. Recently got into simracing where I've been enjoying virtual drives in classics like the DS, CX, and modern hot hatches like the 208 GTi. Looking forward to connecting with fellow enthusiasts and sharing both real-world and virtual French motoring...

Hello to all mechanics from Poland

Hi Everyone, and thanks for letting me in.
I have lived in France for the last 20 years but have only just rescued my first French car.
It's a C4 Picasso and came with a broken front spring and a blown turbo. All repaired now although I am having problems bleeding the fuel system after changing the filter.
Any advise on this would be appreciated.

Good morning,

I introduce myself. I'm Alicia and since I lived with my parents, hydractive suspension has been my reference when I thought about car trips: first a BX, then a Xantia, then a C5 I and now that ‘I'm older’, I'm the owner of a C5 X7.
Congratulations on the forum and I hope to contribute as much as possible .... (even if I ask you for...

Hi, my name is Vinc, I am a sim racing enthusiast who recently picked up a Peugeot 308 GTi as my daily driver - I guess you could say my love for French cars started in the virtual world before making its way to reality! I've spent countless hours racing Peugeot sport cars in various sims, particularly enjoying the 905 and 908 prototypes in...

Hi all,
I'm from North East Scotland and new to Peugeot and owned our vehicle for around 8 months. I consider myself a competent DIYer and always like to verify precedures before carrying out any work. It appears to be quite difficult to find information anywhere on the web, workshop manuals etc, hence why i'm here. To learn and to share...

Hello there!

I've joined this forum some time ago but never posted anything before.

I actually own a Peugeot 3008 (P84) and an e-208 (P21), and have owned a 307 (T6) and a 206 (T1).
My closest family had/have a Peugeot 309 (C28), Citroën BX (mk2 fl), Xantia (mk2), C5 (DE), Saxo (mk3), C3 (FC and SC), C4 Picasso (B78), and a C3 Aircross (A88)....

Obviously new here.
Just purchased a 2014 3008 Style with a 1.6 THP engine.
Got it for a price I thought was good. Because the radio and nav. was not working. It is making that cannot read the CD sound. I am presently battling my way through reading the following:

Since I drive mostly French cars (11 Citroens, 2 Peugeots and 6 Renaults), I thought I should register here and say hello to all french-car-drivers.

Superb car!

Joined a while back and been lurking. I've owned a 2014 C4 Picasso for a while. Always been quite a keen DIY mechanic but as I get older, I find it harder and harder to get the jacks and tool chest out. In my younger days I've changed Cambelts, clutches and rear axles. The most challenging was probably the front brake pads ( of all things) on a...

Hi Folks. Just bought ourselves a C5 Aircross BlueHDi today.

Lots of questions coming you way in next few days and weeks.

Hi all

New to this forum, now in my early 50s and many moons ago I started my driving passion by having a number of Citroen hatch backs. After passing my test at 19 back in 1992, my first car was shared with my twin brother, a beige 1.1 ford fiesta.....
As you can imagine it got quite heated at times sharing a car and agreeing who could use...

Hi hello,
I am new at this forum, I live in the Netherlands and we have a Peugeot 207 1.6 VTI 2007 with some issues with Engine Fuse F5.
It look like short-cut in the cranckshaft sensor wiring.
I hope that you can help me to solve this issue.

Can you help me to find diagrams etc. for the wiring of fuse f5

Thanks already

Hi all.

Lifelong fan of Citroen cars here, with a liking for other French marques too.
I was 'given' a 1937 Tracion Avant (15CV?) in the 70s to 'play with' when I was about 10. It had been off the road for many years and was basically scrap, but my Dad & I actually managed to bring it back to life (briefly...) - boy did I learn a lot about cars...

Hi - Hello from Scotland!

I previously had a 2007 C5 which I also loved. And also had a 2013 508 SW which I also really enjoyed.

Currently, I have a Tesla Model 3, which I love!! And a 2007 Alfa GT for fun - which it very much is, when it runs!!

Hi

I am visiting from France in my left-hand-drive French-registered Peugeot 208 2011 (different specs to a UK 2011 apparently).

I am staying in Leatherhead and my car has broken down. Axa Assistance has towed it to an Axa depot and now I need to find a local garage that can repair it (possibly alternator, possibly electrical fault).

Merry...

Recently joined after purchasing a C5,
Currently have a BX19GTI, a 309 Goodwood and a 205 1.9Gti in restoration.

Hi everyone,

I'm hak and have stumbled across this forum thanks to Google and my issue with my Pug 407. So pleased that this forum is here and it looks like it has a wealth of information available.

I'm now off to find a rabbit hole to see if I can find how to update my firmware......

I hope I don't get lost.

Cheers :-)

Hi Gang
I bought a Grand Picasso at the weekend. It was too good to refuse although it has the EML on. It's got a good service history so I am hoping it's something easy and cheap to fix. I took out the EGR valve today and decided to buy a new one. It's a bit of a pain to get out so might as well replace it.
Bought a cheap code reader too so...

A quick hello to you all.

I've visited the forum on many occasions but didn't sign up because being an old git who learned all my vehicle reapair and maintenance skills on British Leyland heaps :rofl2: I didn't think I'd have anything to contribute, but I realise this place has loads of knowledgeable people and as I have an Expert van and a...

Hi everyone, just a quick message to say hello to everyone on the forum. I'm a long term PSA diesel owner (Since the 1990's) but car technology has moved on quicker than my collection of spanners and screwdrivers, hence joining the forum because when things go wrong it's often a bit of a head scratcher with sensors for this and that.

Despite the...

My wife’s 2007 Peugeot 207 1.4 hdi is playing up, I believe it is the dreaded BSI issue however am struggling to locate the unit to be able to remove it.
