It would be necessary to know on what the emissions test failed, particulate matter? NOx? unburned hydrocarbons?
The engine may be very dirty with soot, or like so many diesels there may be a problem with the DPF or EGR.
Does it smoke sometimes? Does it consume oil?
The small oil leak has...
When the engine burns oil, smoke comes out when you accelerate after idling. It doesn't take 15 minutes, you just need to accelerate after stopping at a traffic light.
If this happens, oil can usually be lost through valve seals or piston rings.
The smoke can be somewhat blue, but 90% of...
A wide tyre can only be placed fairly perpendicular to the ground, more negative camber reduces the contact surface with less grip.
In addition, the contact area is displaced from the axis of the central pivot and this causes unwanted reactions in the steering wheel.
It can affect other...
There is no such procedure in the Peugeot manuals.
There is a procedure for changing the timing chain, which is long and requires special tools, making it a job that is only within the reach of professional workshops.
Those of us who have changed only the tensioner did so at our own risk.
This is similar in almost any car, each front seat has 2 rails attached with 4 screws to the floor of the car, after removing the screws the entire seat with the rails are raised and removed, disconnecting the electrical connector that is usually located underneath.
These shaking are usually due to miss firings, the engine starts with only 3 or 2 cylinders and the probable cause is a faulty high pressure fuel pump.
Antifreeze should be changed periodically, at least every 4 or 5 years. It even loses color over time.
Change it in your car and then you can choose the color you like best.
As long as the car continues to brake well, you don't have to worry about the discs and pads, but you should replace the brake fluid.
Also change the engine coolant.
A lubricated chain does not degrade over time, it is not a rubber belt that does degrade

According to Peugeot, the oil in the...
It's in the engine compartment, to the left of the air filter, looking at the car from the front.
On mine you have to remove the two last plastic rivets that hold a cloth, which covers the filter cover, when you remove the cover you can extract the filter.
In the document from @chrismac there...
I recently had the battery replaced on my car, it didn't show any previous fault codes, just that one morning it stopped starting.
Today I checked if there were any fault codes stored and there were none.
I'm surprised that it didn't detect earlier that the battery was about to die.
Mine also had a bad smell on cold start prior the HPFP was repaired, but I had cold start misfires, not at high rpm.
Now it still smells a little on cold start, but all petrol engines do that until the catalytic converter heats up.
The original anti-theft bolts break easily, especially in tyre shops that tighten them with the pneumatic tool at full power as if it were a truck.
They should know very well that they should not do that.
I also decided to remove them, but then I put other more resistant ones, as I explained...
