Peugeot 307 central locking problem

[chillijava]

hi all
i am new to this forum and hope i am posting in the right area, i am sure if i am not someone will tell me, lol.
i am just about fed up with the piece of **** i bought a few months ago called a peugeot 307, i have had nothing but trouble since i bought it.
the newest problem is a new clutch which has now been fitted by my local garage but now they tell me since having to do this the central locking wont work, ie my doors wont lock, with or without the key and they dont know why.
i know they had to ring me for the 4 digit code when they did the clutch and they say its not that, anyone have any ideas what it could be, also whose responsibility is it that this has happened, am i liable to pay any extra costs because of this, the doors were working perfectly fine till it went into the garage
any help would be much appreciated

Well they would have disconnected the battery as the starter motor has to come off along with the battery and as such i would bet that the BSI requires resetting. Unless anyone knows different i would start with this . Print the following off and give it them :


Peugeot BSi reboot procedure



Peugeot BSi reboot procedure

Some of you will have already come across a strange problem when programming
keys on 2002 onwards Bsi equipped Peugeot. This usually presents
itself as a complete instrument cluster failure after the keys have
been programmed when the customer comes to collect the car.
BSI Unit
The BSI unit is basically a computer which
handles a multitude of functions such as
odometer value, central locking, lights and
immobiliser. Some later Bsi units are liable
to corrupt their own software program if
not “woken up” in a specific way after
programming keys or battery disconnection.
The details of this are explored
thoroughly in a Peugeot TSB but I will
summarise for you briefly.
Procedure for Initialising the BSI after key learning
1. Disconnect the diagnostic tool.
2. Put the driver’s window down, lift the bonnet and ensure all
equipment is switched off.
3. Ensure all doors are closed and remove key from the
ignition.
4. Wait for 3 minutes, disconnect the vehicle battery and wait
15 seconds.
5. Reconnect the vehicle battery, wait a further 10 seconds (do
not open doors.)
6. Switch on the side lights through the driver's window.
7. Switch on the ignition and check system’s functionality.
8. Hold lock button on key down for 10 seconds.
9.remove key open & close door test c entral locking system
10. Start the engine and complete the system’s check.
Failure to follow this procedure could result in incorrect operation of many
BSI related items.

I would agree with above , but i would be asking what they wanted your security code for and what Diagnostic machine they used with it , they have buggered up here somewhere .

[307pugpete]

Agreed , it worked when you gave it them so tell them to ring you when it all works as it did , no ifs or buts. Do not pay anything over and above the price quoted for the clutch!

thanks to you all for your replies, they are much appreciated, however it does get better, it has gone back in.
we picked it up on friday and all the electric window buttons work the opposite way round as do the electric mirrors, the radio doesnt work at all and only has a constant buzzing and to top it all we cant get the car into reverse wether the engine is working or not.
once again any ideas

The electrics are again more than likely down to the BSI needing resetting.

The reverse problem is down to them not aligning the gear lever to the selector on the gear box , basic things im afraid it seems you have chosen to pick a set of amateurs to fit you a clutch

I would tell them to get it sorted or speak to your local trading standards if they dont rectify the problem!

[bettyswollocks]

Gear linkage on wrong ,
aerial out of radio ,
didn`t take of battery ,
touched the ECU with something,
reconfigured wrongly,
jump started car,
bad earth on gearbox,
and as above BSI reset needed,

take your pick but i would be causing a stink by now , cowboys.

as all the of the users have said...take it back its their responsablity as it went in working and came out faulty.

dont know what they have done but they have done something really wrong. i took my car to a garage for the clutch...got it back less then 2 hours and it was perfect and that was £120
