307 HDi 2004 Fault Codes

[Garry74]

Hi, just bought a 307 from the auctions. It drove home (about 5 miles) ok but did seem a bit sluggish. The next day after driving for about 5mins I noticed smoke from the back and loss of power. Got the RAC to tow me home and he gave me some fault codes. Can anyone help me please, I'm in Milton Keynes and am not looking to pay garage prices.

The codes are as follows.
P1728
P0704
B1012
P1445
P2408
P1351
P0402

It also says that my fuel additive level is too high. Where do I check this.

Any and all help will be really appreciated.

Additive too high is a translation error. its most likely too low. Other faults, bear with me!

P1351, heater plugs needed.
P1445 related to problems with the pump in the additive tank. But check the additive level.
P0402 Egr too much flow, relating to anything on the air circuit, ie turbo, egr itself, air leak etc. needs to be checked out.
B1012, related to max number of aborted regenerations. Heater plugs have failed thus not allowing regeneration.
P2408, you need a fuel cap presence sensor.

That was quick! Thanks! Any idea what my next move is? Where do I find the fuel additive?

Rip out FAP filter and get it remapped for no DPF , cheaper in long run.

Not sure of anything search site .

You have that statement on copy & paste don't you!? lol - I can't disagree though, it should be the default thing for all HDi-FAP owners.

Your car has a Particle filter in your exhaust system which collects all harmful particles , then with the help of a liquid injected into your fuel tank heats up on a motorway run and burns all the nasty particles away ,

what really happens is you drive short journeys , filter blocks , fluid runs out , you get alot of fault codes and Peugeot dealer takes around £600 of you,

i took my filter out then remapped car to tell it there was no system and hey presto "Bobs your Uncle" and "Fanny`s your Aunt" no codes ,

The FAP is dead ,Long live the Fap

Ok, with you so far. Where or how do I get the car remapped?

Search web of your local area for remapper/dpf company first, or if you know any boy racers ask them .
