Turbocharging fault

[Anonymous]

Hi there has any one had a fault on the turbo. Two weeks ago the engine light came on as I was putting my foot on the gas. So I took it in to my nears Peugeot dealer . They say it was the turbo and reconfirge it. Today it happen again 40miles away from exmouth so took it in to Exeter dealer but as I am not staying down here they could not fix it. So I am taking it to Dorchester dealer as I had book a b&b now there and don't want to waste it so hope they can fix it.
It's a p2263-turbocharging pressure regulation fault

I remember when the 207 thp 150 /175 Bmw Mini engine came out that there were some issues with loss of power it was some think to do with the anti pollution system with the exaust i think many be worth a google on a 207gt thp forum might give you a better idea or give you something to tell dealer to checkout.

Hope you get it sorted soon

Supply and demand my friend, it takes time to build up spares especially with a new model like ours. I've got the same problem with a failing seat belt - on back order, I post up about that later. :shock:

Hi Guys 'n Gals,

Just a build on the comment about 207 Gti engines suffering from a similar problem.

I currently have a 207 Gti and have just been through the anti-pollution system fault/lack of power issue.

On my car, first the timing chain tensioner was changed for a modified version, then the variable valve timing sprocket on one of the cam shafts was replaced.

It has been fine ever since and can return 45mpg+ on a steady motorway run from London to Birmingham.

I have an acquaintence who also has a 207 Gti. He has had similar problems but believes he has also had an ECU software upgrade.

I know I haven't because I have facilities to interrogate the ECU in my car and it reports the same software version as it did before the rectification was done.

From what I can see, it looks like there was some form of design flaw that affected one or more engine types for a period of time.

I would advise anyone who has these sort of problems to do a quick internet search using tems like 'anti-pollution fault', 'thp', '207 gti' & 'mini'.

This should bring up a few blog/forum posts from other owners with similar problems.

Armed with this info., a polite conversation with your Dealer or warranty provider should get it fixed. It's an known issue but they like to down-play the significance.

Get it fixed before your warranty expires.
