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.

I have this installed https://www.autodoc.co.uk/mcgard/14759747

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...

I put the cell phone recording video on the rear window and I saw how it went up and down by itself.

With a 10€ ELM327 ODB II bluetooth connector and a free app like Torque, you can monitor fuel pressure while driving. If it drops below 50bar when it stutters, the HPFP is faulty.

It doesn't seem like a very expensive repair, if you can get a front bumper at a reasonable price, even if it's a different colour it can be repainted. The bonnet looks like it can be repaired and repainted, the damage to the aluminium seems minor. You would also need to get a side mirror...

Depending on the defect, the ECU disconnects the turbo, the engine runs out of turbo pressure and I believe the maximum speed of the car in that condition could be around 150 km/h.

I have a 32GB SD card installed and it works fine, I assume a 64GB one will work just as well. The card must be formatted on the computer using FAT format and full format, not quick format.

is the engine fault light on ? If it is true, the engine is probably running in limp mode.

New rims can be expensive, so you should also consider taking them to a restoration shop where they can repair scratches and dents and paint them the colour you want.

Do you mean the yellow triangle? If they didn't reset it when they changed your oil, it can turn on at any time. You can reset it yourself, to do this press the reset button on the instrument panel and without releasing it turn the key, a counter will appear that counts up to 10 and then it...

A big problem currently with THP engines and many others is that the oil does not last the 30,000 km that the manufacturer says. Even worse in turbo engines that degrade the oil more.

I put Total Quartz 9000 5w40 and the engine runs smoother and quieter. I change it every between 8k and 10k kilometers. When changing the oil filter, it is normal for a little oil to drip underneath, it does not have to mean that there is a leak.

These wires do not exist, in modern cars the devices are connected to a common data transmission network called Can Bus.

Lately my car occasionally gives the P0299 fault, today I took some photos with an endoscope through the hole in the Lambda sanda. I think the turbo will have to be replaced :(. Wastegate is broken
