For some time, I have a problem with my steering. It has some knocking sound when near the end of left or right steer. Please check out the video:

I have been at the dealer and they claim that I need to replace inner and outer tie rod but they can not guarantee that it will fix the problem, and since the price is almost 400€, I...

Hi , Iv got a 2016 308 SW 1.6hdi ,
That's got a knocking noise coming from the front suspension area. Sounds like a drop link but its not. Has anyone had any experience with these or does any one work within Peugeot that can have a look and see if there's any bulletins for knocking on the front.
I'm thinking possible top mounts but don't want...

Hi, I wondered if someone could help me please.

I own a 2007 Peugeot 207cc with a faulty ABS pump. I have been trying to find a used one but have been told I haven’t got the correct serial no. The one I have been providing starts ‘1009’ but have been told that I need the one starting with ‘96’. My mechanic rechecked the pump but could not find...

Last year, my Peugeot 5008 had a new turbo and EGR valve (along with alot of other things totalling £3000!) its currently on 236,000 miles and going strong, but for about 6 months, the EGR valve has been causing problems with juddering. When you accelerate moderately or hard, there is a jerk or what feels like a misfire at about 2k rpm. You can...

Hi all, just a quick question about XU starter motors. Would the starter from an XUD9 diesel also fit/be compatible with a petrol equivalent?

The reason I ask is, I'm doing some research into a local abandoned 405 Mi16 with a view to rescuing the car & so far I've ascertained that the engine is not seized but the starter is not in a good way,...

Hi hoping someone can help with advice. My 60 plate Peugeot 3008 2lt automatic has been reliable as with only minor wear and tear for almost two years now. But a couple of days ago it came up with parking break faulty error message. It’s intermittent. Sometimes electronic parking break won’t manually engage at all, other times it works absolutely...

The 207 is trying my patience a little bit now but it will not win. I need to identify the sensor/control that is circled red.

I can hear a tiny boost leak and the throttle body (if that is what you call it on these) and the bonnet have smears of oil on, I cleaned them down and a week later they are oily again. The sensor I have circles appears...

Hi,

What is the latest version of the gearbox software?
Blooming thing doesn't know what gear to go into coming up to a roundabout.
Thank you very much.

Hi, I am having issues with my car and i think i found the problem. It is difficult to start when the engine is cold, greyish / black exhaust fumes and sluggish at times. I feel car hesitating too from 1300rpm to 2000 rpm. I blanked the EGR and still I am having problems. I bet its the Injectors as I have spoken to several mechanics about this...

Hi all,
I have a peugeot partner diesel, the diesel pump had a bad fuel leak from the front of the pump, where the timing belt wheel is, after taking the pump off i decided it would be easier to change pumps rather than fixing the old one. I replaced the unit from another peugeot ( lucas unit ) i took off the security shield at the rear of the...

So , here is the full story ,

I did the cambelt on the car , tested if the timing marks align properly , started and ran the engine for few seconds , just like the rest numerous HDi's I have done , and just like that used a small screw driver to push out out the timing crank pulley, as it wasn't coming by hand as usual , in order to put back the...

Hello,
I have a Peugeot XUD 7 powered boat, I would like to upgrade the alternator.

I have found a Hella 80 amp (new) on a popular auto parts supplier.

Please could members advise if this would be a simple straight replacement, the current alternator is very close to the oil cooler

Hi guys,
Bought a can of CRC gdi inlet valve cleaner to remove some of the carbon crud on my 308 cabriolet 1.6 thp engine.
Any ideas as to where the MAF sensor is located and where's the best place to spray the cleaner forward of this? Cleaned everywhere else and only other thing that's making the car hesitate is the carbon build up....I think....

My 405 XUD's popped one of its Coolant Hoses today* and I'm thinking that this could be the first of several.

Is there a way to check whether others will follow suit soon, possibly at an inconvenient moment far from home?

Thanks everyone!

Hi guys,

I want to change the oil at my EAT6. I went to the servicebox, typed my VIN, and the only thing written regarding oil is JWS 3324 specification.

I asked the dealer for the price, and I was shocked, they told me 130€ for 2 liters.

I went to the other local auto-part stores, and told them about JWS 3324 specification, and the price was...

Hello everyone, I have a 206SW (12/2005) carrying the DV4TD 1.4HDi engine 8HZ, Diesel EDC 16C34, 50.0 kW.
Due to the engine warning light going on, combined with as sense of starvation when revving up, and eventual instances of going into 'safe mode', I got my EDC readings.
The reading was performed by Bosch ESI 2.0 v.13.1.3641 and resulted in the...

So my 508 hsas been sitting a couple days and when I started it today, i could hardly get it to rev from idle. It seemed to rev ok above idle, if I kept the turbo lit. I have a soundbite but don't see any way to add it here.
Could it be that the start/stop battery, which is as old as the car(2013) is done and me leaving the car for a couple days,...

Hi, can anyone tell me what paint this is called and if possible the code too?

Well didn't expect to be back quite so soon! Took 307 to Halfords for an MOT with it's nice new fuse box installed and it failed. Checked discs & pads, ground off lip from discs and measured the thickness, rear 7.4mm (min 7mm) and front 23mm (min 24mm). I intend to replace pads & discs but no time to get, at a reasonable price, and fit before MOT....

Only one key came with my newly bought bipper, where would be the cheapest place to get a spare .?
Doesn’t have to be a remote as long as it opens doors and starts van ..

Just had this shoot up on the dash whilst nipping to a mates house. Cruise wasn't engaged at the time. The message disappeared until I tried CC, then it came back, as I expected. The trip was about 8 miles, switched off, 10 minutes later jumped back in and the error had gone, CC worked, all back to normal. I've not had chance to plug Diag in to...

Do I use diagbox or planet and then what do I go into ? Thanks

Hi there!

I've got a wierd problem and don't know what to do with it. When I turn the ignition off after about a 5 mins the central locking isn't working with the remote and when I turn it on again the clock reset itself. I've tried the BSI reset twice but still nothing. Has anyone met with this problem?

As I mention in I am looking to buy a Peugeot 2008, but I am struggling to know exactly what ones support Android Auto without going to see the car in person.

I went today to the dealer because I have some strange behavior with the steering wheel. The say I need to replace inner and outer tie rod, and they personally showed me there is bad movement. And of course, price was 350€ which is ridiculous. I paid 12€ for diagnostic and went to the autoparts to order the rods. Of course, price is 60€ total....

I am going to add a cruise stalk to my daughters 2007 207 Sport. I have popped of the trim and the connector on the column has 8 contacts. Does this mean I can use a stalk with the memory function or did all the connectors have 8 pins and some were simply not connected on the vehicle? Thanks.

Hi,

I'm sure there must be some posts on this but can't find them, if someone can direct me to them it would be helpful.

I needed a cheap car to tow my caravan and found a 307 2.0 Rapier HDi 90. It was running perfectly until I removed the fuel filter to find out which type is fitted, I also removed the cabin filter and air filter for the same...

We have an error on a 1.6 HDi 2007 207 that warns of a risk of the DPF blocking. PP2000 gives 1 error of P1351 relating to the glow plug circuit and I understand the glow plugs are used in manner I won't pretend to understand fully to clean the DPF :roll:

Now I know the glow plugs have been buried down the back of this engine and so I am hoping...

Hello all,

My 2015-plate Peugeot 2008 1.6 HDI Auto has developed a knocking noise when going over pot holes or rough roads. You can’t hear the noise when going on straight roads or even when going over large speed humps.

It seems to be noticeable when light braking to come to a stop and when going over rough roads and pot holes....

Hi guys I’m getting problems with my airbag apparently from the passenger side. My airbag light won’t go off!

My error code was something like this “0604 fault on the passenger airbag igniter level 2” I’m sure it may have said open circuit but maybe not! I can’t remember fully the 0604 is correct but have asked the guy with the diagnosic kit to...

Hi all I have a couple of noise's coming from the passenger side rear of my car. Best way I can describe it is that it sounds like someone drilling a sheet of metal and there is also a rattle along with it. The noise's are not there all the time they come and go.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I have a 1997 expert 1.9D upgraded (with the help of this forum) to 1.9TD circa 2003. That's still going strong, so well done to everyone involved. The van is used as a camper, not a Van.

My brake compensator is a bit sad. The arm is very stiff (although it does still move) and I can't get it off the vehicle for a good fettle without replacing...

Hello all,

I'm new to these forums so please bare with me!

I purchased a Peugeot 2008 1.4 diesel - 15 plate in Feb of 2018. Car was and still does run well, no problems in terms of the drive, check lights or anything of the sort.

About January time this year I was making my local commute to work when all of a sudden a distinctive clunking...

Hi guys.

So, i'm sat scratching my head. I have had the eml on, comes and goes and i've pulled two codes - as above p2173 and 1499 for something called an air mixer.

Now, i've done some small reading and think this item is the same as the air doser from the euro 4 psa 1.6 engine, the butterfly valve in the intercooler system. But can anyone...

Hi

Does anyone know if those wheels are still available . I would like a nice looking set of steel wheels for my berlingo. I contacted the local dealer here but they could not help .

Category N with little more that a ding in the front wing and cracked grill, under 60k miles, what's it worth? I might buy it.

Hello,
I have a Peugeot 308 2009 my rear fog light does not come on but showing on dashboard also my passenger window only works from that doors button.
I have tried a BSI reset but still the same.Any advise would be gratful.

My suspension arm lower balljoint has had an advisory 'gaitor deteriorated but still exlcuding dust' every year since 2014 so I figure I really should replace it this year. (And a whole new arm _delivered_ is only £30, which is extremely reasonable IMHO!)

However, the clamp bolt _really_ doesn't want to come out. Can I just check that the bolt is...
