Peugeot Help Needed

[NorfolkShaun]

Hi,

We have a 2009 Peugeot 308 diesel.

Yesterday we went out in it and I felt it was a little short on power, on the way home the engine management light came on and the display indicated antipolution fault.

Anyone able to shed any light on this please.

Just had a big bill on it with the duel mass flywheel needing replacement so do not really want another big bill.

At the moment the only thing I know is I will never buy another Peugeot :sbox:

Same problem just before Xmas had the catalytic convector replaced then in April it was an oil and timing belt to replace garage say they're not connected but I'm not sure

EGR valve, (engine gas recircululation I think).

 

[car.crash]

Dpf filter blocked I rekon.
Only way to tell is to get it onto diagnostics and get some codes.

These can cleaned... Suggest you check youtube for examples on how to go about it..

EGR valve or diesel particle filter. The EGR valve can be a diy job... The dpf could be expensive...

Exhaust gas recirculation valve. They can also be blanked off.

Don't know if it is Peugeot or diesel that is the issue. I had a Fiat Bravo (4 years old) that I had to change the dual mass flywheel on - not cheap is it!. Garage reported oil in my turbo line, cleaned and said we would watch. Month later light on, alarm about exhaust gases / re-circulation or something, checked turbo line and oily again. Cleaned up, reset alarm, checked filters and traded in before it needed a new turbo!

Hopefully something cheap & easy for you but have a check at the turbo (if you have one).

You have my deepest sympathies.

Dpf filter. If you've done 50 to 70,000 then I would be 99% sure you need the fluid replacing and it's gonna cost you £150 to £200.

Cheers guys, taking it to my local garage for an estimate.....

Engines are just too complicated these days.....

I had the same fault on my 207.
It was a camshaft sensor.
I read the fault code with a scanner & fitted a new sensor.
It cost me £40.

I had this on my 307, basically I googled it and a solution is to drive for an hour in 4th gear over 60mph, the depolution system then starts to clean itself apparently. It worked for me so may be worth giving it a try.

In the old days diesels were uber reliable. Then they made them perform better & better, similar performance to petrol engines. I've had three turbo diesels and on each one the only faults, bar one, have been with the turbos. On my current car, the DMF needed replacing the week after I bought it (warranty fortunately) but they car only has one of these because of the amount of torque produced by the turbo. Yes, diesels perform well now but they're nowhere near as reliable as my mate's old non turbo VW Golf, which has done nearly 200,000 miles with no engine problems at all.

Modern diesels need a bit more TLC than they used to but they are still very reliable and economical to run.
I've got a Vito Travelliner which has got over 200,000 miles on the clock and has only had oil and filter changes done on a regular basis. Still runs like a dream, touch wood.

If the additive tank is empty, which is next to the fuel tank, then 5 litres will cost about £135 for the fluid and is fairly easy to refill yourself.
If it's the particle filter in the exhaust then it's a garage job but it can be cleaned which is far cheaper than replacing it as it will cost well over £300 for a new one.
It's worth getting the error code checked to see which one it is or if it's a sensor gone giving the same message on the computer.
