Re: 2003 Peugeot 307 SW HDi 110

Hi Richard,

I have a few questions.

I have a 2002 Peugeot 307 (2.0 HDi 110) with, what sounds to me to be the
same problem as you had. My car also lacks power (intermittently!) with a
few weeks now, couldn’t put my finger on it, but from this morning
I’ve now got a light on with Anti-pollution fault message. First when it
came on, the engine was limited to 2800 RPM. However once I stopped the
engine at a shop and started it again the engine revs were no longer
limited but the light & fault message is staying on. I’m going to check
the vacuum valve and the vacuum pipe this evening, just to confirm is the
vacuum valve and pipe located in the air duct just to the right hand side
of the top of the engine which connects with the top of the intercooler or
should I be looking somewhere else?

You mentioned your mpg was less than 40, I too have this problem since the
day I got the car which is more than a year ago now. I brought my car to
two different Peugeot dealers (one while under warranty) – they’ve
both run diagnostic checkes and found no faults re****ted and they have no
idea to what’s wrong. I’m getting about 450 miles to a tank of diesel
(53 Litres at the pump) which is about 39mpg. I know this mpg is RUBBISH
as I’ve been checking these figures with some time. You see I had a 406
(2.0 HDi 110) before my 307 which was much more economical, it was doing
about 700 to 770 miles to a tank of diesel (74 Litres at the pump) and my
question is has the mpg improved since fixing the above problem than you
had or has your mpg stayed the same? I’m guessing that I should be
getting from my 307 about 530 to 560 miles to a tank of diesel with an
average of about 46mpg as its about 100 miles to 10 litres of diesel.
Please note I’m also ignoring the fact that a 307 is lighter than a 406
which should also improve mpg for a 307.

Regards,
Bryan
