Thanks for the reply. Bleep test is fine. Unfortunately still got F5FF code. Nothing seems to clear this.
Your fault could be due to a number of things. You really need to connect a diagnostic tool and get some codes.Hi can anyone help diagnose my 207 starting problem.

Your fault could be due to a number of things. You really need to connect a diagnostic tool and get some codes.
The beep tests tells you that part of immobiliser operation is working but it doesn't guarantee that the BSI has unlocked the engine ECU.
One common cause of no start is a faulty crankshaft sensor. One thing you could do is take a spark plug out after you try cranking the engine and check if there is any fuel on it. The 207 unusually has a seperate coil for each spark plug. You can buy a tester the fits between the spark plug and its coil so you can see if the car is creating a spark.
It would help if we knew which 1.4l petrol engine you have. The VTi engine is common in the 207. This video shows a 1.6l VTi engine. In the video the guy changes a solenoid. Can you check if your engine has the same solenoid?
Have you tried clearing these codes? Some may be historical. The odd thing is you are getting a P code from the engine ECU but there is another code suggesting the engine ECU is not communicating. This could just mean the P code occurred before the communication problem.Hi Ian
Many thanks for your help sorry for the late reply been stuck in isolation. It’s interesting because the problem seems to have started since I removed the solenoids and cleaned them. The codes I’m getting are
F5FF unexpected re-initialisation fault from bsi
P0366 fault in exhaust cylinder ref sensor signal consistency
U1108 fault no communication with engine ECU no signal or fault engine status information
U1318 operating fault caused by BSI
U1003 communication fault on can
Thanks
