HELP! 307 1.6 HDi Pressure Sensor Problem
Discussion
Hi,
Hope someone can help.
My 307 1.6 hdi 2007 wouldnt start last night. warning on dash said 'Anti-polution fault'. Got the RAC out who got the car running again, did a diagnostic check and it said the fuel pressure sensor was showing a low reading. However when he did a live reading with the engine running the pressure was good. The car drives but I had it trailled to the garage as a precausion.
To get it started the RAC guy reconned that there maybe a loose wire that has potentially chaffed.
Its been in the Peugot dealer all day and they say a new fuel rail and sensor are needed (come as one part) at a cost of £440. However they cannont be certain that this will cure the problem. i must stress that the car is running fine, i drove it on and off the recovery lorry and all seemed well.
Has anyone any experience of this???
Please help! £440 quid for a dodgey sensor sounds like a ridiculas amount!
Many Thanks

That`s Dealers for you !!?? They are supposed to be the experts,they will give you a bill for hundreds but it might not fix the fault!! come on,what sort of diagnosis is that?? Before you agree for them to do the work you must be confident that the work will solve your problem.If they can not be certain tell them to !!**++!!* and find your self a small independent Peugeot Diesel expert to give it a proper diagnosis.(I bet it is a dodgy wire ??)
I have a 2002 406 HDI 110 with 198k on the clock, runs well at speed but its has indicated a 'anti-polution' fault.
Engine has had a poor tick over for several months, feels as if its running on only 3 cylinders, lacks power initlally on acceleration until turbo kicks in.
Recently serviced but misfiring persists, has cut out a few times in traffic.
Confused should I replace the EGU, Fuel regulator or sensor to improve the running?
Local Pug dealers in Essex are very poor seem to lack the expertise in understanding these engines?
Need a good HDI speacialist.
Any help appreciated

I had a 306 HDI with starting problems, I replaced the high pressure pump and numerous sensors, new glow plugs and relay, cleaned the injectors and still it would not start without a hint of start ya bas&^%d aerosol. It turned out that the main loom had chaffed 
The main dealers were rubbish and couldn`t diagnose a flat tyre. I eventually scrapped the car as it wasn`t finacially worth the effort. The main ECU on start receives information from numerous scources before the system is ready to function. My car would play up only from a cold start, when the engine was warm it would start first time, so it was annoying. The diagnostics could not pick up a chaffed wire though, it would show the relevant fault codes for glow plugs, glow plug relay and glow plug circuit. My local indie who is a nice bloke pointed me in the right direction with his knowledge and diagnostics kit. I stripped out the engine bay and scrapped the car, now I`m running the old 1.9 406, my two 1.9 405`s were great but this HDI stuff is useless, IMHO.

Not all dealers are bad!! anyway, I would change your fuel filter first if it has not been changed recently as the DV6 Peugeot diesel engines are very bad for sediment build up in the filter causing low fuel flow through the filter leading to intermitant cutting out and non start. Normaly see fault codes P0087 and p0093 in the engine ECU which are fuel pressure/flow faults.

Yep have come across this quite a few times.Robert.
Like has been said you need a knowledgeable garage who have the kit to diagnose, unfortunately it can be very costly at a main dealer, where are you based?
