    Oil Catch Can on THP156

    Where will the oily gases go? to a filter? That filter will get dirty very quickly and it will stain everything nearby. The gases are led to the intake to avoid contamination if they go directly to the atmosphere.

    Smokey

    How much distance do you travel in those 2-3 weeks? Anything approaching or exceeding 1 liter per 1000 km is highly excessive and may fail the emissions test. If the spark plugs are removed it would be good to do a compression test of each cylinder.

    Smokey

    If the smoke comes out when accelerating after idling, the problem is with the valve seals or the piston rings. This occurs because the vacuum in the intake manifold and cylinder is highest at idle and this can suck oil which is then expelled on acceleration. I don't think the problem is on...

    HELP

    I also had the updated tensioner and I replaced it with a new one. The rattling when it was cold disappeared. Over time it loses strength.

    Turbo charge to low

    For less than €10 you can buy an ODBII ELM327 connector and with a free app on your mobile phone you can see that pressure too. Also view and clear default codes

    Turbo charge to low

    If the car has good power, the turbo does not leak oil or make noise, it will surely be in good condition. The wastegate too. Ask your friend if his device can read the pressure in the intake manifold. Drive a bit with him and if the pressure rises to 0.6 bar when accelerating then nothing...

    Turbo charge to low

    Do you notice a lack of power? It may be that the turbo wastegate remains open due to some mechanical failure.

    Turbo charge to low

    What is turbo warning for you? It is the message that the engine needs to be repaired? Do you know any fault code?

    Broken wire on battery fuse panel

    Is the cable cut or has a bite in the insulation? It doesn't show up well in the photo. If it only has a bite you can finish cutting it, solder it with tin and slide a heat shrink wrap

    Cutting new dipstick to length

    The end part, having a larger diameter, prevents the area where the level is read from rubbing against the duct

    Air induction kit

    The THP turbo engine regulates the intake manifold absolute pressure measured with the MAP sensor. This is regulated with the turbo solenoid valve that moves the turbo wastegate. If on the engine maps the pressure has to go to 1 bar, it will go equal to 1 bar even if you change the filter. The...

    Air induction kit

    But what it sucks from the inside is minimal, there are some plastic pieces so it can take in the fresh air through a space in the grille between the headlight and the radiator.

    Locking wheel nut key

    When I bought the car the locking key was broken, unusable, I went to the Peugeot agency and ordered a key for €92, I had to show the documentation of the car. It arrived a week later. I was able to easily remove 3 of the 4 screws, the fourth took a lot more but it came out at the end, leaning...

    P0299 & P2263

    Look at the filter that I explained in the previous messages. It is a small and strange filter since it is like rubber, but a porous rubber, it is about 2-3 cm long, it seems that if it gets stained with oil it clogs. The turbo solenoid valve opens the wastegate with vacuum, but then it needs...

    P0299 & P2263

    MAP stands for Manifold Absolute Pressure which is mounted on the intake manifold, #12 on the diagram, it's only one, the others are not MAP sensors. Also, if the problem is that the sensor is dirty, it is usually not necessary to change it, just clean it with Contact Cleaner spray I say that...

    Brake upgrade from Normal to RCZ R brakes

    You can also put the 200HP brakes with larger diameter discs than the HDI and they still fit on 18" rim

    P0299 & P2263

    Part #9, That little cylinder it has is a filter and it may be clogged, it's not in the same place as the 156HP, you'll have to look under it to find it. No need to change it, just clean it. #8 is the turbo solenoid

    P0299 & P2263

    The photo is from a 156HP but I suppose it will be similar in 200HP. On the arrow there is a small tube that comes from the turbo solenoid valve with a filter on the end. What finally solved P2263 for me is cleaning that filter. The mechanic had also changed previously the turbo solenoid valve.

    Air induction kit

    I totally agree, also those filters inside the engine compartment catch hot air, which is less dense, and therefore power is lost. As you can see in your car, the original system has ducts to take in fresh air from outside. The intake systems of the cars on origin are not usually so badly...

    VVT solenoid input voltage

    How long has it been since you changed the oil ?, dirty oil can cause these problems. Change it more often than the manufacturer says. The VVT is actuated by oil pressure.
