The video contains serious errors, such as disconnecting cables without first disconnecting the battery! Significant risk of short circuit! The first step is to open the small cover and disconnect the positive (+) terminal of the battery. There's no need to disconnect any cables or connectors...

I was a forum administrator until recently, and I tried many things to prevent spammers from registering. They're bots, not people, they can solve the captcha images, respond to the verification email, and even answer questions if Google already knows the answer. What worked best for me was...

My pump was repaired by someone, here in Spain, who advertises on a buy-and-sell website. He repaired it using a method I saw in YouTube videos: drilling a hole where there's a ball bearing and then plugging it with a screw. I don't remember exactly how many millimeters the diaphragm was...

The tires are stamped with the manufacturing date using four digits. The two on the left are the week of the year, from 1 to 52, and the two on the right are the year. The tire pictured was manufactured on week 25 of 2023.

Recently they also replaced the entire air conditioning box on mine. The evaporator isn't supplied separately. The fan and heating radiator from the old unit were reused, everything else, including the valves and servomotors, is new. The part alone costs €1080 + VAT. Total bill: €2200 :(

When my car had 115,000 km, I started using Total Quartz 9000 5W40 oil, the one that doesn't show "Energy" and meets the PSA standard. Since then, the engine runs quieter.

That pump is a magnificent piece of hydraulic engineering, but it has a problem with the oil. The oil loses volume over time as sludge builds up. The pump has a small oil reservoir in a diaphragm, but it's too small. When the oil runs low, cavitation occurs, and the pump starts to malfunction.

Smoke from the exhaust can be caused by several things, not just the turbo. There could be problems like worn valve stem seals or piston rings; a compression test would be a good idea. If the engine fault light doesn't come on when you floor it in second or third gear, all the way to the...

I had similar problems a while ago, as neilgsxr69 says the problem was the high pressure fuel pump, I dismantled it and sent it to be repaired, there's no need to buy a new one! To verify that it is the pump, you can monitor the rail fuel pressure, which should rise to 50 bar upon starting and...

Typical symptoms of high-pressure pump failure. The pressure in the injector rail should quickly rise to 50 bar upon startup, but it doesn't, causing misfires. The same thing happened to me when the car had about 115,000 km on the clock. The solution was to repair the pump.

It does not have a cable, the actuator is hydraulic, it uses the same fluid as the brakes.

The pedal should have a spring attached and clearly visible on the left side. Are you sure it's present? If it is, make sure to lubricate it.

The Peugeot maintenance book indicates that the DPF must be replaced at 110,000 milles.

Try searching for a street in another country... Usually, if a street doesn't appear, it's because it doesn't exist on your NG4 maps with that exact name, sometimes because the article is missing, like "l'eglise" instead "eglise."

Blue smoke after idling is due to the valve stem seals or piston rings. To distinguish one from the other, a compression test would be necessary. If compression is low the problem is in the rings. When the engine is idling, the vacuum is strong inside the cylinder, and this causes it to suck in...
