My local garage diagonised my car as engine management light on saying dreaded depolution system faulty and I couldn't shift it despite using dpf cleaner and good run ! He says two codes show EGR electronic valve open and heater circuit valve open ! I've been priced at £70/hour by peugeot ! My car is 05 I was just wondering us it worth going as they prob find about £90k worth of faults lol!
Car drives ok but us bit groggy and not gone into limp mode ! The garage did day theres a tank on car that contains fluid to clean dpf filter and prob wants filling car has done 123k

if fluid is empty it likely won't be regenerating. Where are you based?

You need it on planet to find out exact codes.

 

[pr1vatepiles]

Your in a good location, check members map and you'll find a few folk around you who can help out cheaply.

Ok cheers I've booked a peugeot place £70 a hour how long do they normally take and any ideas on here who I can talk too

Cheers could they even solve the problem and fix it ?

 

[rbaz]

Yes or we wouldn't have suggested it

The heater fault you mention may well be the glow plug relay not energising the plugs if the glowplugs don't work the DPF cannot regen they DO NOT aid starting they are for regen this is the most common fault

Also fuel cap magnets and fluid empty but you need a session on planet to test NOT CODE READ actually test items.

Cheers will do I will look tommoz have to say I've never know anything like a pug 407 I thought I bought a jinxed car ! I had mine last year well 19 months ago had 87,000 on clock I'ts now 123,000 I had full service cam belt ect since then had depolution faulty in was told 2 new injectors as otheres were over fuelling , new EGR valve , then new clutch and slave valve lol now this

 

[Matty130171]

Does anyone on here know of a good place to go ?

 

[Matty130171]

Hi

Is heater plug a big and expensive job ? Also should I be driving the car with these issues ? I'm only doing short journeys

 

[reliable406]

Short journeys are probably your main problem !!

Modern diesels need driven pottering around at 30 doing short journeys you may as well buy a petrol car

 

[Matty130171]

Only been last 6 weeks was doing 400 mile a week prior to that on motorway

 

[Matty130171]

Any idea of cost ?

Any idea of cost ?

Cost will depend on what is wrong. The error message could be one or more of several different things.

As has been suggested twice before, search the planet map for a member near you. Members will charge a fraction of the dealer cost. They can read the fault codes and get descriptions of the codes, read live data and test various items on the car. Once a planet diagnostic has been done you should be in a much better position to resolve the issue.

If you had spent a little time actually looking on the map for some help instead of repeatedly posting similar questions you might have already arranged for some assistance. Just asking more and more questions instead of taking some kind of action is not going to help you get the car running correctly and finally removing the error message.

Just needed my 20 posts now I have it

De pollution fault on dashboard has NOTHING to do with DPF alone. It could be absolutely anything at all! I get it every few weeks, usually caused by a microscopic alien germ shitting in one of the many filters. It comes and goes... Garages talk b*ll*cks.

 

[Matty130171]

Your right there had to get 2 new injectors last year as they said there over fueling
