blantyre:You will keep changing part till your guess work hit jackpot then you must have abused the poor car. Peugeot 307 is equipped with obd II port....you can continue with your guess work till you hit jackpot or make use of the port to know what is wrong with the car. |

blantyre: Scan First with pp2000 It would help pinpoint the issue |

blantyre: Endeavor to scan the car with any scan tool, instead of throwing miney/ cum parts at it |

Ikenna351: @ikenna351 ikenna351 Greetings Lion King, I have an PAN assembled Prestige petrol EW10 406 manual. I use the car for uber/taxify work in Lagos. Like 2months ago, it started showing me Anti Pollution fault. The fuel consumption is also high. I have just been managing working with it but I cant cope now. The fan was abused to by-pass factory b4 I got the car and the thermostat has been removed. I have the thermostat, previous owner kept it. I have not reversed the fan abuse. I finally got around to scan the car today. Here are the faults pp2000 showed me: (a) Built-in System Interface - Permanent Fault: RH direction Indicator Light Oil temperature sensor. Short circuit to positive. Oil temperature sensor. Oil guage open circuit. - Intermittent fault: Transponder identifier not received. Authenticating transponder not received. Battery fault charge (Although no battery fault displayed on instrument panel or display) (b) Multifunction display - Permanent fault. Absence of communication with the CD changer. - Intermittent fault. No positive permanent on the display. (c) Instrument Panel - Remote permanent fault: Oil temperature information. Incorrect value received. - Remote intermittent fault: Engine speed information. Incorrect value received. Coolant temperature information. Incorrect value received. Vehicle speed information. Incorrect value received. (d) Airbag ECU - Permanent fault: Level of driver module trigger 1. Open circuit. Level of driver module trigger 2. Open circuit. (e) Engine ECU - Permanent fault: knock sensor. - Intermittent fault: Coolant thermistor. Coherence. Throttle Potentiometer. Coherence. 1 ignition coil control. No spark. Battery voltage. Low voltage. Fan unit relay control (fan 2) high speed. Air conditioning pressure. Short-circuit to positive or circuit open. (f) Air conditioning ECU - Remote intermittent fault: The outside temperature sensor. Incorrect value received. Vehicle speed information. Incorrect value received. (I just fixed the ac yesterday and its still chilling cold. Scanning was done after I fixed the ac) I know everything in a car should be working fine but i can not afford to fix everything at once since i am doing uber/taxify work. Q1- Which of these issues is responsible for the high fuel consumption and how do I solve it? let me solve that one first. Then as i work, i can fix the others. Q2- Which order would you recommend i fix the other issues after solving the high fuel consumption? Thanks so much in anticipation of your response. 1 Like |

Bangis406: Does your car emit black smoke? If yes, there's a cable connected to the exhaust, most mechs call it exhaust sensor. Changed mine for 5k Then you scan and clear codes You should be good to go Cheers |

Re: Peugeot: Cars With Attitude! by pounds12345: 11:32am On Jan 18, 2019 |
I have changed fuel pump, clean nozzles and changed spark plugs last week but it still persist. It only happens in the mornings but once it starts, everything runs normally until the next morning again. Tyche: |
Re: Peugeot: Cars With Attitude! by Bangis406: 11:52am On Jan 18, 2019 |
mammanbawa:Are you referring to the o2 sensor? My car has it. the head connects to a green socket near the ABS and the other end connects close to the catalyst or on it, cant remember exactly. I bought it at the time I got the car. Will check if the car brings out black smoke. I also bought the blue o2 sensor because I saw the socket was not plugged. but I later found out that my car does not have a place to plug in the tail of the blue o2 sensor, just the head socket. |
Re: Peugeot: Cars With Attitude! by mammanbawa: 2:12pm On Jan 18, 2019 |
Bangis406: Yeah that's it Does your engine run smoothly when you start it Or it idles roughly for sometime? If it does the above I'm 80% sure it's that sensor |

Re: Peugeot: Cars With Attitude! by Ikenna351(m): 12:45am On Feb 10, 2019 |
I CAN'T SAVE ALL MEN. Part 2 This afternoon, a TLC member visited me in his lion I bought for him in 2012 from Agboola Motors, my trusted car dealer in France. A Peugeot 406 stick with EW7J4 engine, 2000 production (if I remember correctly). Nothing significant has changed from the lion from the day he picked up the lion from my house after the purchase in early December 2012 till today. The engine and gearbox still run like new when I drove the lion today. Engine doesn't burn or short oil after about 7 years of usage in Nigeria and 19 years old from new. Scanning the car was like a waste of time because every unit showed exactly what I saw last the last time he visited me (no fault found), like 3 or 4 years ago. No faults on engine ECU, BSI, ABS, etc. I got that lion for him at 130,000 km mileage. Now the mileage is over 200,000 km and the lion still in almost same shape when he arrived my house from France 7 years ago. Even the 2 oxygen sensors were still "follow come" and in good conditions, including other sensors or components that run the engine and entire vehicle. The sad thing is he wanted a change (another vehicle). Another sad thing is the mental torture or dilemma of letting go of the lion that has never given him a reason to let him go. Fortunately, someone will take over the wonderful experience he has had with the lion soon. A damn reliable and durable lion he is! It's interesting that about 5 people, few weeks ago, sought my advice on changing their dead EW7J4 engines to EW10J4. Because, according to them, their mechanics adviced them to avoid EW7J4 again because "they are not durable", they claimed. I have no problem swapping in EW10J4 engine in place of EW7J4 engine, as long as it's properly done. In fact, I am all for upgrade or power. I even do these conversions for customers/people. But that the EW10J4 is more durable than EW7J4? You gotta be kidding! I know how how many dead EW10J4 engines I have changed for customers, including EW12J4 and ES engines. Engine durability has nothing to do with size or power. It all comes down to usage (maintainance, driving style, etc). How many of you guys that complain of dead EW7J4 engines drive them like EW7J4 engines? How many of you run these engines with recommended engine oils? How many of you run these engines with engine cooling systems in factory settings/designs? How many of you bought non abused lions with these engines? Suddenly, the problem is with the engine, not your choices, right? Yet other human beings are running same lions with same or identical engines with higher mileages than yours and still running like new and yours die every now and then. If you don't deal with why your EW7J4 engine died before you decide to swap in EW10J4, you gonna be replacing the EW10J4 soon after the swap. Because other people have proved you wrong that EW7J4 was never the problem. I do watch as people debate about engine oils they use in their lions. These days, I choose to keep mute in such discussions, since experience teaches better than mere words. After all, a guy called few years ago to prove to me that Total Quartz 5000 worked better in ES9J4S engine in his 607 than the recommended Total Quartz 9000 I suggested to people online for that V6 engine years ago. According to him, the Quartz 9000 (5w-40) was overheating his engine, while the Quartz 5000 (20w-50) wasn't. Of course, he mistook engine oil temperature guage for coolant temperature gauge. He didn't call to know why my advice was wrong. He called to tell me to stop "misleading people", according to him. He saved me the saliva I would have wasted in the explanation and left him to hold unto his belief on Total Quartz 9000 and ES9J4S engine. The TLC member that came this evening lives very far away from me, in another state. Yet, he kept to the advice I gave him the day he collected his lion from me that afternoon in 2012, "maintain recommended engine oil in this lion". Even when his cooling system thermostat failed around 170,000 km mileage, he put another back without tampering the factory fan connections like most Nigerians would do otherwise. I have never met his mechanic or spoken with him for all these years he has been using his lion, but he chose his mechanic by himself, whom from all indications, has not abused the lion in any way, shape or form. Even though he was giving me credit this afternoon for getting him a clean durable lion that has lasted or served him all these years, but some of the credit go to him too. Because he chose to "SAVE HIMSELF". "I love my lion" is just mere words if you feel differently from those words. For how you feel about your lion determines decisions or choices you make to keep the lion safe or in good shape. Maybe you have some principles, belief or problem with loving material things. Well, I can't help you on that. But you ever wondered why I own and drive 3 V6 lions and never complained of financial drain from them? Ever wondered why they are always in good shape or conditions, almost as they were when I got them, even better? It's not because I am an expert in Peugeot or spend fortune in keeping them in good shape. It's because I don't do to them what most Nigerians do to their Lions. It takes months for me to plug in scan tools in my lions sometimes. And most of the times, it's for knowing which of the fuel injectors that needs cleaning when engine misfire occurs (thanks to fuel quality in Nigeria). Nigerian mechanics are not usually the problem when it comes to abuse of lions on Nigerian roads. I am not ruling them out completely, but you do have a choice for who you give your lion key to or open the bonnet for. For you can't take away that responsibility on something you have authority over. It's easy to cry "Help" when you choose to buy an abused lion with hope to deal with the nightmares that come after purchase, but you probably didn't think it through how long the nightmare will linger? It's easy to find anyone that can hold spanner to work on your lion, but can be challenging to accept you made that choice to wreck your lion and blame others instead. It's easy to pour any liquid in your engine and do whatever thy will with the engine cooling system, but would you be man enough to keep replacing the engine and never complain about it? I can only preach what I know and you decide what you choose to do with it. For you can either save yourself or perpetually remain a victim. Drive with pride! Ikenna351, Lion King - Monk. |
