Hello.
My 407 2.0 litre 136 hp has begun to be difficult to start sometimes. The symptom is that when it is cold it starts without problems, but if i stop the engine after a while of driving and tries to start it again after a short stop (like if im in a shop) it starts and stops direct again. After being trying to start it again it will start...

Hi all,

508 RXH Hybrid4
Engine: DW10CTED4
Problem: P0131 - o2 sensor short to ground

I've replaced the upstream sensor (two new units, item 3 from the schematics), cleared faults only to find the error back again after couple of minutes of driving. I know there should be a downstream sensor that can cause this error but for the life of me I...

This afternoon, after spraining my wrist from trying to start a 5hp Briggs & Stratton which has sat in a leaky garage for most of this century, this sprang to mind:
1996 and my friend had rented a nearly new 306 Turbo Diesel and filled the tank to the brim with just over 50 litres of.... petrol.
Using his own breakdown recovery to rescue the car...

Hi all,

First time poster and long time lurker…so hi to everyone and thanks in advance for any help I receive.

I have a 2017 (66 plate) Peugeot Partner van.

I stupidly disconnected the battery without following the correct procedure (which I didn’t know about at the time).

After reconnecting the battery, my van won’t start. I’ve tried the BSI...

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...

Hi, new member here, hailing from Sweden.

Nearly two years ago I bought a used Peugeot Partner with a bit over 140,000 Km on the clock. VIN VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Upon initial inspection and test drive, all seemed fine and I went ahead with the purchase. A few months later, an alert for the Diesel Particle Filter came up and had to cough up a...

Hi

I was told 2021, use B71.2290 which I did.
2023 timing belt too wide > replaced.
2024 use only B71.2010
2025... now use FPW9.55535/03

Could you please crosscheck with my VIN?

Do you recommend testing the belt throughout the year with a belt width tool? In addition to the yearly service.

Thank you!

So after having replaced the 1351KT water pipe, the car ran well for a week or so.

I had to fiddle with the rear coolant cap at the rear of the engine (the one just past the diesel filter/ rear turbo pipe) as it was leaking.

Then the cruise control stopped working and gave me the Speed Control System Faulty warning

I replaced the brake pedal...

The side and rear plastic trim connectors appear to be designed better than the German vans, in that they have little rubber washer/gaskets around them.

I'm building a van conversion and on the German makes these always get silicone sealed in to stop water ingress as it runs down and in behind the trim panels.

Has anyone ever had an issue with...

today have replaced all seals on all injectors on my 140k mile 2009 non DPF Partner, following lots of research from this forum and some great videos, am super disappointed that the car won’t start as I was confident the job had gone well!

Our Peugeot 207 with the 1.4 8v TU3A KFV engine appears to have reached the end of its life.

The problems are:
1. Major excessive oil consumption (1 litre per 100 miles) and lots of exhaust smoke
2. Engine is barely running now - no surprise when burning this much oil!
3. Loud squealing noise when the engine is put under load

I was going to...

This issue started around the beginning of the year & was annoying rather than considered an issue, it has however gotten worse of late, it's hard to describe but it kinda feels like the ABS is trying to kick in when the brake pedal is pressed although it doesn't do it each time. There is no ABS light & although the brakes don't quite feel normal...

Got some good advice from the forum to my post of the 16th this month. (diagnostic tools)
I spoke with EasyDiagnostics, very helpful person but advised their newer interface will not work on my 2015 Boxer Van (2.2 Ford Puma engine) So I am back on the roundabout again.
He did send a spec for what I would need to run Diagbox for my model of Van and...

Hello everyone,

I am looking to replace the right hand side driveshaft (the long one) for a new. Was wondering if there is a technical guide on how to remove it or at least some steps to work out the wishbone setup.

Thanks again,

Hi, our Peugeot 206, 1.4i 55kW (TU3JP) started ticking from top of the engine when it is up to temperature (around 80°C). It sounds almost like the valve clearence is bad, but I have checked it twice and it's absolutely spot on. Oil pressure it 2,5 bar, which is quite good too (ideal would be around 2 bar, but dangerous is over 4 bar). The oil is...

Hi, anyone got any tips on removing this sensor. I've got access to it and removed the retaining screw but there just isn't enough room to remove it. There is a mounting for the turbo hose manifold in the way (see picture) This mounting appears to be part of the alternator and aux belt tensioner mounting. Anyone any ideas? Fault codes I'm seeing...

Hi my Peugeot 207 1.4 hdi 2010 showed a low particular level - I had had this before (4 years ago) so changed the Eolys bag which was low (blood bag), but the connector neck from the car to the unit has snapped off and I have tried to bridge with rigid hoses/silicon not sure if this will work, find out tomorrow.

Does anyone have the part number...

So my 2011 1.6 hdi Peugeot 3008 had a diesel smell coming into car when driving. On inspection seen a large build up of carbon around the injectors so figured there could be one leaking, also noticed a leak from the egr where it bolts onto to back of the cylinder head. So took off the egr valve and found a missing gasket, replaced that and cleaned...

Hello everyone. I have a Peugeot 508 2011 1.6 hdi. The start/stop system is working fine, but I have two issues:
1. The ECO counter on the screen in the image never counts the time in minutes and seconds while the start/stop system is active. It is always showing zeros. Also the green Eco symbol on the instrument cluster is never on or flash while...

Hello,
so my BSM has failed on my 2005 407 with 136 hp petrol 2-litre engine. I have purchased a second hand unit so the car runs great now,
but i would rather find a brand new one, wich seems impossible since they don't make them anymore.
So my question is: can i replace it with another unit?
The original numbers are: 6500CG BSM-L02-00,...

Little by little I have been getting used to the new Pug, my first petrol machine in over 25 years so the difference in torque was noticeable and to be honest this reminds me more of a sports car than a shopping trolley. Now to the question. After a long very wet winter I decided to try out the roof drop down procedure. The guy I bought it from...

Just to give a little bit of context: Decided to clean the EGR Valve. Resulted in exploded Vacuum hose to the EGR, air and vacuum hoses taken out. That was replaced but it was also found that it was leaking exhaust and it was coming from 1 screw missing from the EGR cooler and then 2 screws were loose. All repaired and fixed. Car runs fine and...

On my 2007 Peugeot 207 CC 1.6 VTi automatic (VIN: VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]) I have a fault code P0443: Canister bleed electrovalve control open circuit. The only reason I scanned the vehicle (Launch 123E scanner) was because I was checking for any automatic transmission fault codes I might have. On the change from 1st to 2nd I often get a thump, going up...

Hi all
The reverse lever on my 3008 has broken, so that I can no longer put the gear box in reverse.
I called breakdown cover and they’ve taken the skirt off the gear stick so I can access the mechanism underneath and actually put into reverse (albeit very awkwardly!)
It seems as though the linkage between the gear knob and underneath has broken....

Hi, I have recently bought (privately) a 2009 Peugeot 308cc. The car seems to run well however, there are 2 noticeable things. Engine is a 1598cc petrol:-

1. The coolant will go into low alarm, almost every week. Sometimes the level sits below the low marker, once, the tank was more or less empty. What do you suggest this could be & what should I...

Hi

My clutch pedal started being springy about 2cm from the bottom of it's travel, I managed to video through the release arm hole and could see at the bottom of the travel the release bearing stops moving but the release arm is flexing slightly causing the springy feeling.

Good Morning,

A few weeks ago I bought second Peugeot 508 Hybrid4 - to spend some time on fixing, that's my hobby. There is quite high mileage, what is worth to check? This is 2.0 HDI 163 HP with 400k km. I already fixed rear differential (I have legal permission to work with higher voltage up to 1KV). Bearings was damaged, after replacing and...

I recently purchased a used 2008 Peugeot 407.

However, after a few days, I noticed the engine was not running stably. I performed a diagnostic scan, but there...

Hi,

I want to install fog lights to a Peugeot 106 that didn't originally have them. I've got the fog lights, a GTI wiring loom, and the stalk with the front fog light function. I'm competent with the wiring however I want to know if the car already has a fog light relay installed (like some of the 306's did despite not having fog lights). Can...
