Peugeot 807 2.0HDi.... Thoughts Please

[Doggy]

doggy how much is this addative refill your mentioning ? i have read about this but not sure what it is or what its for ?

Not sure, fluid is about £30-£40 a litre, 406's hold 5l, 307's hold 3, don't know about yours. Then you need PP2k to reset the counters.

The point is, it might be low on fluid, or the low level sensor may have failed, or several other possible faults, which means you could pay for this and still not solve the problem.

I recommend you check if you have a Bosch EDC15 ecu, (label on the side of the ecu) and if so, you have the option of removing the whole sorry mess.

thanks mate. definately something i,ll be contacting you about in the next coming months. jasper is doing all the belts/waterpump etc in the next 4 weeks. then im gonna have a solid flywheel conversion done.

[Gary406]

well thats got to be a record. im not not the owner of an 807
flywheel started to knock louder and louder so taking it back 2moro to get my money back. the dealer said they cant pay for it to be replaced so he will take it back off my hands. so now looking for a car since my 406 has gone as well

[jasper5]

That's not good at all

[Gary406]

hacked off to be honest john. gutted my 406 gone so dunno what to do now. get another 807 or another 406. im a bit put of hdi to be honest after this.
i really like the 807 its what ive been wanting for a while now. im sure there will be a good one out there but just cant decide at the moment.

That's jolly bad luck on a 110.

Certainly with the newer 16-valve HDis you do have to factor in a flywheel every 80 to 120k or so.

(I bought my 407 last October at 74k expecting it to need doing in 18 months or so, but it needs doing right now )

Is any other marque any better?

[Doggy]

Both of my 2.2's had a new dmf, but only because the clutch in the first one was starting to slip at 160k+, the current one because the 6 speed box was going in. Neither showed any symptoms of failure, but were changed as a precaution. On 406's at least they don't see to be fragile.

[Gary406]

well i took the car back. dealer gave me my money back with no issues . to be honest he knew that car was coming back as he never sent the logbook off in over a week.

ive since bought a 2004 volkswagen bora 1.9 tdi (100) brilliant car very happy with it. still a bit gutted i dont own my old 406 1.9 though.

V-dub bora nice
Better than a golf...

Get it mapped ...it will be a pocket rocket

[GingerMagic]

True - the Bora is the car I really wanted, the boot is huge for a medium sized car, and its not a Golf..!!

Good work.

[Doggy]

...and get another 'T' to stick after the model name.

[Gary406]

im gonna leave it standard i think lozz. i know a few people who own VW and have had theirs mapped and within a few months the clutch went
its pretty nippy as standard pulls well through all gears and is averaging 43mpg in town. most ive hit is 58mpg on a run upto blackpool which was all uphill too.

[lozz]

I've driven a few 'mapped ones mate.
Not seen problems with 'clutches..but I guess its how ya drive them..

The boy racer's are leaving these alone now so there becoming a good car again...
Better than a golf anyway... enjoy..
