Stop engine/ fans blasting/ blah blah blah we've heard it before . But I thought I'd post as I've some info I've not seen on here before regarding this problem (I think) :eusa-think:
Well I've phoned all my local dealers to check they can do the mod needed and indeed make sure the're even aware of it :!:
And lucky I did , none of the 3 I phoned had ever heard of a temp fault on the rcz and wanted to do a diagnostic first (fair enough) but I wasn't happy that none of them knew of this common fault even after checking there technical updates and saying nothing has been advised by Peugeot !!
So I phoned Taylor's Peugeot Boston where the car was purchased originally and has always been serviced. Straight away they knew of the problem and gave me a proposed fix and price . Luckily I have a diagnostics man that read the obc so I could give the technician the code. He confirmed its the sensor ..... And here's the bit of info I haven't seen on here , he said Theres 2 possible types of sensor i could have , if i have a removable sensor they would simply replace that but if I had a built in sensor then they would remove the bleed screw and in its place put a new modified sensor , then swap the wiring from the faulty one across to it :clap:
Not heard of this before but it sounds logical and clever , so the old sensor just stays in situ. I know there's a mod with the housing/sensor/loom replace but he said this is the latest fix. I'm going next thurs, booked in for 10am . They need the car to cool for an hour then an hours labour , cost is around..... He said no more than £150. I'll let you all know the results when I've had it done next week . Hope this was helpfully to some of you , cheers lainey
Ps its 90 miles from me but I don't mind if it's this kind of service I'm getting , if anyone fancies a coffee and a laugh I'll be there for around three hours :beer:
