Hello,
I have recently acquired a 2008 model 308 with unknown history.
It has high mileage - 218,000 kms. (135k miles).
When under load (driving up a hill) the car gives the misleading "Depollution System failure".
Sometimes at that moment it will drop to running on 3 cylinders. either cylinder 2 or cylinder 3.
Reading off the error code, it is either P1338 or P1339.
I reset it, and then the problem won't come back again until it is under load. It seems fairly consistent.
We have had all plugs and coil packs checked. Also swapped them around, and it does not follow the coil packs.
Work done so far to "hopefully" remove the problem.
††see 308 1.6T 2008 - Procedure for Air Intake Valve Cleaning
Questions:
- Do people think it is
- a sensor, (camshaft, other)
- a solenoid (VTi ? )
- fuel injectors
- fuel pump
- ECU ?
Thanks in advance

- fixed one coil pack
- new fuel filter
- replaced the timing chain (guides, sprockets, chain) - cam locks, flywheel lock - 6 hours
- stripped and cleaned the air intake manifold ports around the valves - 6 hours
