Folks,

I can't search to see if this topic has already been covered as the search function is kaput.

My Mrs drives an 06-plate Peugeot 307 1.6 Auto and it's displaying an Anti Pollution Filter message. When this flashes up (usually after driving for 10-15 minutes) the car stutters.

She's got it booked into a Peugeot garage tomorrow afternoon near her work but she's got to drive it home tonight and then back into work tomorrow morning (20 miles each way).

Anyone know if the car is ok to drive? The two times that it's happened so far she's pulled over, switched the engine off then when she restarts it again a few seconds later it's fine.

Also, any idea on what the fix will be? Peugeot dealer wants to plug it into the diagnostic computer (£60+VAT just to do this).

Cheers!

Apparently the message isn't Anti Pulltion Filter, it's Anti Pollution Faulty.

Mrs tried to come home early and is now sitting stuck on the hard shoulder of the motorway frown

Aye, the bloody thing is only 6 weeks out of warranty too.

She's managed to get it started again, and she said it's ok if she keeps it under 30mph.

She's just phoned to say she's made it to the Peugeot garage near home and they will look at the car tomorrow morning.

Hope this doesn't turn out to be expensive!

It's a coil pack right enough - £227 inc. VAT for supply & fit.

We could have been doing without that, but hey ho such is life.
