Anyone know about Pug 207's? Error P1340

[beko1987]

One of the ladies at work had the engine light come on on her pez 207 this morning. I plugged my reader in and read the code, and got P1340, which after some googling seems to be the coil pack for plug 4

and other peugeot forum stuff which wasn't too helpful. She's going to point it at a garage at the weekend, but has anyone worked on this fault before? Sparks? Coils? Injectors? Moderns are stupid, one of the issues could be a slipped timing chain ffs

 

What made me laugh, was the dash display, which comes up ANTI POLLUTION FAULT on startup, then flashes constantly. I'd have punched it out by now...

 

She wants to take it to Halfords, who are going to do the brakes for her too, so obv I want to point her towards the nice decent garage near work, may see if they'll put their better reader over it tomorrow/fri and narrow it down a bit

 

Unless SIC or someone has a peugeot error code app I could try?

P1340 = proceed to bridge, do not pass go. Do not collect £200. DO NOT BUY A 208

 

HTH;)

Those 207's are a fucking disaster area. A lot of electro sparks won't work on them because they're a liability. My mate's Mrs has one and once it started all that anti pollution stuff along with random untraceable electrical faults like various lights randomly not working he promptly chopped it in after being hung up on by various auto electricians.

Swap the suspect coil pack onto a different cylinder, clear the codes and wait for it to flag another fault. If the problem moves with the part (like you get P1337 and had swapped no4 coil onto no1) then replace the coil pack. If the fault stays with no4 change the spark plugs first and start worrying if/when that doesn't work either.

Not yet sorry! Certainly in the works after the Renault App has got a lot more model coverage.

 

But do as the wise words from SOC above!

[beko1987]

The first few posts echo my thoughts, I asked if it was a derv at first incase the dof had eaten itself.

 

I might try that Scary, but tbh Ill point at the engine and say 'get them to check spark plugs and coil pack (the meriva said it had shat its coilpack on random cylinders each time when the spark plugs were fucked), and steer her towards the nice garage we know at work rather than halfords...

[cort16]

Is it one big coil pack on these like corsas?

[twosmoke300]

Also don't forget that no4 in French speak is the one at the cam belt/ chain / drivers side

[beko1987]

Ill try and get an under bonnet look, didnt bother earlier, was raining and I have man flu

That crossed my mind, given the 207 206 I changed one on.

Threads like this just illustrate why I'd never own a modern...my '03 Rio is as modern as I'll ever go. Over-complicated electronics that can't be fixed without dropping a shedload of notes to a garage first....this is why scrapyards are full of cars barely 10 years old.

 

Personally I'd direct your friend to the nearest garage that's registered with the Good Garage Scheme as she won't get ripped off. Hellfrauds stung me a few years ago because they obviously couldn't handle a car they may have to service mechanically rather than just plug into a laptop.

The Good Garage Scheme?  Sick of telling the Forte rep to fuck right off.

[beko1987]

We are going here at lunchtime

who are always ace. She sounded up for asking them to quote the discs and pads too

 

Just seen that their members of the good garage scheme though... and mention Forte a few times...

 

Still, much better than this bunch of dickheads

Fuck that shit!

[beko1987]

She took it round to Court at lunchtime, explained what I told her this morning (a cut down version of this thread basically) and the bloke plugged their reader in, and confirmed that I had said.

 

It's going in on Weds to have new pads all round, new front discs (rear discs are declared fine), and to be plugged into their big machine, but he said he would try a spark plug first

 

She came back and gave me these

 

 

which are now all gone!

[beko1987]

Also, it was this exact issue with the Meriva which prompted me to buy my bluetooth thing! Limp mode and flashing engine light, error codes all screaming coilpack on a random cylinder each time... spark plugs were fucked, the ceramic tip bit missing off 2 of them... Ran fine after spending £9 on it...

[face]

She gave you a computer, a G&T, a box of chocolates and a jizz-rag?

 

Sweet.

[beko1987]

It's been a good day!

[SiC]

All for providing a bit of advice!

 

What do you get when you get your hands dirty?

[cort16]

If you really wanted to do her a favour you should have set fire to it
