Hi. I live in London (South) and I own a Peugeot 207 Sport CC 1.6 (2007) with 35,000 miles.
The car was bought private (not dealership) and worked perfectly for the first 6 months.
Recently I have had all dashboard warning lights come up, These used to be intermittent and and are now up permanently.
I have the errors:
• 'Depollution System Faulty', with loss of power to the car (limp mode).
• I have lost use of my speedometer
• Lost complete power steering to the car
• 'Engine Temperature' fault temporarily for the first 10 minutes of driving (although the engine temperature is ok)
• And have a 'ABS Braking System Faulty' error. However, the braking on the car still works as normal.
• The roof electrics are now not working.
However, I have seen online that this seems to be a very common problem with the Peugeot 207, with some people reporting that there can be a fault with water ingress leaking into the wiring loom.
I have tried replacing the car battery, which has not resolved the issue. And a scan into the ECU located in the glovebox does not feedback on these errors.
It seems as though a lot of people have had their car taken to a garage, with feedback from them being unsure. Leading to potentially a lot of money being asked to try to resolve the issue by trial and error.
If I take my car to a garage, I would like to have an indication of what the resolution should be, as it seems that most garages from peoples experience are unclear on what to do to fix these problems. I also understand that some people have had Peugeot cover the cost of parts and labour, even though the car is out of warranty (my model is now 8/9 years old).
If anyone also knows how to have Peugeot cover the problem, it would be a great help as the costs quoted by people's experiences have been in the £1000's.
I don't know much about the technical side of things, so any advice would be very helpful and appreciated.
Thank you all. Michael.
