Hello Forum!
56 plate 207 HDI 112k on the clock and dying slowly…..
Unfortunately its going to be a bit difficult to cut a long story short, I don’t want to miss any details that could help resolve the problems im having with my Pug 207 HDI (56 reg – 2006)
I purchased this car from a Used car dealer about 2 months ago now, and since the first week there has been issues, some more serious than others but I will mention them all as I write on.
My main problem is this: The car only reaches 2000rpm and will not go over 70mph regardless? I have been told that the car is not in Limp mode but a safety mode? I have checked the Turbo and its fine as far as I can see, on the second week of ownership (previously everything was great!) I found out that the rear brakes were seized after receiving an on dash ABS and Braking system faulty messages, I had new calipers, discs and pads fitted out on the rear and all is sorted out at the cost of £300+ (Dealer warranty not interested!) still a bit squeaky and squeechy!
After the new brakes upon a 30 minute drive “beep beep” Anti pollution system fault message!
Great!.... After running my own diagnostics 10 error codes told me that the EGR had gone (Completely broke and bouncing about), So for £450 I decided to have the EGR Blanked off and removed from the ECU (Many thanks Zen sport (Top Notch service ) and now with no EGR I get zero error codes, nothing, no permanent codes remain in the ECU, the tuning company told me that the Re-map and delete job should have upped the cars BHP from 90 to 125 but the was an issue where the car would not snap out of its safety mode? With a few options we collaborated over ideas and only the DPF, elloys fluid came to mind that could be causing an issue?
I can replace the DPF (But no error codes given?) or have the DPF cleaned, Have the DPF Removed (+ECU Delete),or have Peugeot check the Elloys fluid and pump?
On inspection I have noticed a lot of oil (black oil) sitting in the inlet pipe of the Turbo, This oil is spitting out of the rocker breather quite a lot, im sure its not supposed to be like this? I know the oil is not coming out of the turbo bearings, the turbine in the turbo is set nice and central and rocks evenly yet spins perfectly central (no grinding noises or screeches) and there is evidence that the oil is defiantly coming from the rocker breather, the question is why?
I have gone over the problem in my head and its logical to say that the DPF is cooked (totally) 112k on the clock and never had a new DPF, (But no codes?) anyway if the dpf is blocked up then I guess that it would account for the car not wanting to start up when warm which always happens! –starts cold fine but not after a 10 mile run?, so with a baked DPF perhaps there is an abundance of back pressure causing the engine to kick into its “safety mode” or it could just be huge pressure slowing everything down and in turn either way causing that rocker breather to chuck oil down the turbo’s in take pipe?
So all the problems are:
Wont start when warm (turns over and kicks out the ecu and all aux power, then starts eventualy) but always starts when cold.
Limited Speed, 2K revs no more, feels like the driving without a turbo but the turbo is working fine to my knowledge, it was replaced (the turbo) at 110k am now at 112k on the clock
EGR was buggered, so blanked, deleted and full remap job professionally done.
Brakes are all good now, new air filter, fuel filter will be replaced this week than on to an oil change and filter.
The car is very tidy for its age, I do know it never once had a service and was not looked after engine wise, I doubt that it had ever had an air filter change or pollen filter as they were completely Black when I removed them! (Baked in black dirt)
Its like the symptoms of the DPF trying to regen? I am clueless about what to fix first and now the real issue for me is budget!
The cat cost me 2000, then the braked issue - £300+ and then the EGR job (inc egr delete) and remap £450+, also done fuel additive (d-tox) and DPF / Injector cleaner additives, air filter, fuel filter and more or less my budget is blown now with all the problems that stacked up.
Plus, Does anyone know a cheap DPF fitter in East Essex (Colchester area), I can just afford the new DPF and a ton + vat for fitting then I’m absolutely broke!
If any one can help me out with what’s going on with this 207 have idea or questions – your all welcome and I will be grateful for any responses.
Cheers.
