Hello Ikenna, what may be the cause of vibration whenever I am driving off in gear 1. The car is 2008 peugeot 307.

How many engine mount does the car have (307)

Vibration at take off in manual tranny Lion is usually caused by failing clutch pressure plate or flywheel.

Your 307 has 3 engine mounts. 2 mounts at auxiliary belt side (upper and lower), and 1 at gearbox side.

Good day ikenna, I must really commend your efforts here. I have a Peugeot 407 in my possession. It gives A PRND caution warning along with ABS and EPS warnings. I got someone to do a diagnostic scan and he said I prolly need to change the ATF. Kindly advice on what to do. Thanks in anticipation.

I would prefer to see the scan result , rather than what they said.

Peugeot cars are one of the best European cars you can ever have. They are not just friendly, reliable, durable and fun to drive, but posses a particular attitude that leaves one behind their wheels smiling. And most importantly, they eat miles. All you need is face their noses anywhere and they bring you back, wishing for more adventures to take.

But to enjoy the good life they give out to the owners, you must love them. When you love something, you respect it. When you respect something, you care for it and protect it. When you care for something and protect it, you will not abuse it. That's all you need to pull a Lion, never look back and forever be grateful.

@OP it seems u don't stay in Lagos, PH or area with a lot of traffic jam

My brother lives in Lagos, drives stick car and he loves it. He plans to add another stick car.

Learning how to truly drive a manual car is all people need to do rather than complain. And it starts with seat adjustment or sitting position. And how long you depress and hold clutch pedal down and how you release the clutch pedal. How long one has driven a stick car doesn't make one good in driving stick cars. Its knowing how to truly drive one. That's why some would drive stick cars for years or hundred thousands of mileage without having failed clutches, while some replace their clutches every other day.

What exactly is the rationale behind owning an automobile?

Should I own a car because I am an adult who should have a dependable means of transportation, or should my wealth/bank balance determine my car ownership? The issue here isn't a cost of maintenance, because there is a car for every segment.

What do you guys think? I am tired of the bus life, even though I reside in a well connected part of the city. I almost never go out if not to work. Despite this, I feel like having a car to call upon at any point of the day or night MIGHT be a good idea, regardless of the cost.

In fact, I feel like having a car and being able to reach places in short notice may change the way I relate with other people, because at this point...I do not engage in any form of socialising

It's just a feeling tho. Or maybe I'm psyching myself into getting one before I'm 'spiritually ready'

Don't repel prosperity and good life by questioning rationale behind being prosperous.

Owing a vehicle is prosperity in action, because its a change of level. Whether the person chooses to be grateful for the prosperity that's coming to him/her to attract more good life or not is left for him/her. Prosperity constantly flows in ones life when he or she wishes it to him/herself and appreciate them as they come and not analyze , repel or become ungrateful when Universe or God brings them to their attention.

Having a vehicle is a good life. If you see it as one, it becomes one to you. If you see a vehicle as a liability, it becomes your reality as well, that is, a liability. What you wished for or your interpretation of good life are your prayers, because what you give out is what you receive back. Seeing a vehicle as liability will draw more circumstances that will make you struggle and spend all you have to keep the car on the road, while one that appreciates and see it as good life will continue to get more circumstances that will bring in more and continue been elevated financially and others. That's why some struggle to have and keep only 1 car on the road, while some keep getting more and more vehicles as more good life flows into their lives.

What you interpret a vehicle as becomes your reality, because that's your prayer or wish.

How does one solve the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) problems on the HDI's? It has been advised to go for tge X-Line trim since there do not have the DPF installed.

Whichever your heart feels comfortable with, go for it.

Good morning everyone.

I just want to appreciate everyone that my write up here on Peugeot 607 has added value to. At least, about 10 persons have contacted me after reading going through the thread. About 3 of them purchased Peugeot 607 after reading the thread and have been enjoying them. About 4 found my explanations helpful, used them and got their Peugeot 607s back in good shape as designed, while the rest are hunting for 607s. I am not just talling about Nigerians, even non Nigerians from other parts of the planet Earth.

I am glad my explanations of Peugeot 607 systems made sense and added values to some people, even those very far away. Thank you all, for I am grateful for your commendations and encouragement. I will continue to educate people that wish to have and enjoy good lives, how best to run their Peugeot cars.

Hello house, I hv a Peugeot 406 1998 model.whenever Im in motion driving the car goes off by itself especially when I press the brake.please what can be done to rectify it

If what you have in engine bay is XU engine, I would suggest you bring out the Stepper motor, clean with carb cleaner, lubricate the valve inside, remount it and reinitialise the ECU with it.

Ikenna

gabng:
Thanks. can you explain more on the AM6 box
And what to lookout for in the 407 HDI.

AM6 is a 6-speed auto transmission with Porshe tiptronic. It was produced by Aisin, a Japanese company. One of the best auto transmission ever mounted in Peugeot auto cars.

I am also interested in getting a 407 diesel soon from europe ( they are dirt cheap there). imagine doing lagos to lagos to kaduna on a full thank of diesel (the data I am seeing online suggest it can do even more)

how much where you offered the vehicle in abuja?

I have driven one, I mean the particular one you quoted. A turbocharged 2.0 HDI. It was fantastic! The AM6 box attached made it fun to drive.

Please I need advise regarding my 406 2001 model. For some time now, I notice that "ABS FAULT" appears on the car's dashboard if it's in motion for about three minutes. There's nothing wrong with the brakes. I have even taken it for auto diagnosis all to no avail. What do you guys think could be wrong with the car? I think there might be a hidden fault somewhere

Find and scan the Lion with PP2000.

This is my baby, Peugeot 505 V6 5-speed manual, 1986 production. Picture was taken recently.

I am the only guy that drives a V6 505 in Abuja city, and a clean one. The gaze I get from people while driving past is thrilling, with my windows up.

I love that Lion!

Thank you.

Most Nigerian Peugeot owners are not finding it funny when their oxygen sensors fail and not getting a good replacement that works, hence, their fuel consumption keep going high and check engine lights stay on.

Rejoice, for you can get a brand new Bosch upstream oxygen sensor and downstream oxygen sensors for your Peugeot cars. I have personally tested and confirmed the working of the sensor on lions.

The sensor is for Peugeot 206, 306, 307, 406, 407, 607, 806, 807, etc, with petrol engines.

The upstream oxygen sensor has green connector and it controls fuel consumption. If faulty, will increase fuel consumption very high.

The downstream sensor has blue connector. The sensor monitors the catalytic converter and would make a Peugeot car run sluggish when its faulty.



Price: N10,000.00 each.

Warranty: 30 days.



To buy, contact me ikenna351@gmail.com

auto transmission,

Then I would suggest one with EW12 (Inline-4 cylinder) engine that comes with optional ZF HP20 4-speed auto tran or a 407 with ES9A (V6) engine that comes with Aisin AM6 6-speed auto transmission.

Ikenna

vicbussi:

speed
please from experience hands thank you

I will talk only on Peugeot 407.

How high the power are you interested in? What transmission type are you interested?

Good morning.

Help oooo!!!!

Just got a new tokunbo engine for my Rav4 2002 Model.

Well, my mechanic just removed the THERMOSTAT!!!

My engine is actually cooler now going by the METRE guage ON THE DASHBOARD.

But, my FAN is as noisy as its always been.

Always rolling at full blast.

Infact I can't sneak my car home, my children will always notice because of that noise.

Aside from this, no issues.

Abeg, who is in charge of the Fan Speed: the ECU or the THERMOSTAT.

Expert advice required.

Thanks.

Let me put it in a simple way you would understand, start planning buying another or replacing the newly purchased tokunbo engine you mounted, for this singular act of removing the thermostat, if you keep running that engine with that abuse.

The sooner you get that thermostat back in, the happier in future you become.

As for telling Toyota company that you knew better than all their engineers that ever existed in that company by bypassing the factory fan connections of that vehicle, you reap what you sow!

I stay in VI but I but I care where the expert is, im ready to take the car anywhere, all I need is for the car to work well. Thanks.

You can contact GAZZUZZ since he stays in Lagos as well. If you were in Abuja, I would have asked you to bring the Lion for me to diagnose and fix the lion for you.

Just relax, it's going to be alright.

Ikenna

Alisha4U:
Some are still with me. The care shows stop on the dashboard and when it does, it doesnt fire well. Sometimes when i park, to start again would be problem. I really dont know how to explain it but thats how close I can come to explaining it.

Where do you stay?

Ricmayak1:
I totally agree with all posts that a v6 engine is more powerful, smooth and responsive. However;

-Don't think you will outshine a light weight I4 with a heavy weight v6, especially the light ones that still have very good balance. The extra torque/power is already working to move the extra weight. That is why these I4 corollas and camry cars do wonders on the road.

-Please, don't try to rudely overtake an I4 full hybrid just because you think it's an I4 (especially on hills). It might disgrace you. Those cars have pretty good acceleration even upto the very top end. The reason being that electric motors have better torque performance than ICEs.

Regards...

Focus on designing electric/hybrid vehicles is on fuel economy, not necessarily power or quicker/faster.

What makes a vehicle quicker or faster is the design, not how light. A lot of factors, including aerodynamics, is considered when designing a quick car.

And I hope you know being in a very light car on high speed doesn't make it safe, unless the car was designed for speed.
