This code can be specific to the intake camshaft position bank 1 it has also been found that the injector in cylinder 2 is possibly a problem open circuit or shorted high voltage circuit if the misfires persist it could damage the Cat if not corrected another problem is changing worn plugs after they have damaged they coil packs (without knowing} as in multiple misfires picked up the knock sensor mine has just gone through this issue I changed the 4 plugs as it began to stutter slightly on acceleration 6 weeks later Multiple misfires occurred with Timing bank1 out of sync combustion cycle which makes the engine judder its B******s off so out goes 4 coil packs & cleared off the codes now the issue is cured

I can only reccomend you use a Peugeot dealership for repeating problems as I did. They have the proper diagnostic kit and experience of the cars, with Peugeot UK behind them for correct parts and 12 months gaurantee on work from dealership.
