2003 Peugeot 307 SW HDi 110

Good to know you've got it fixed. Despite all the adverse criticism that the
307 receives, I really like the car. My biggest gripe is that the windscreen
wipers are set up for left hand drive.

Let us know how you get on.

Hi Richard,

I have a few questions.

I have a 2002 Peugeot 307 (2.0 HDi 110) with, what sounds to me to be th
same problem as you had. My car also lacks power (intermittently!) with
few weeks now, couldn’t put my finger on it, but from this mornin
I’ve now got a light on with Anti-pollution fault message. First when i
came on, the engine was limited to 2800 RPM. However once I stopped th
engine at a shop and started it again the engine revs were no longe
limited but the light & fault message is staying on. I’m going to chec
the vacuum valve and the vacuum pipe this evening, just to confirm is th
vacuum valve and pipe located in the air duct just to the right hand sid
of the top of the engine which connects with the top of the intercooler o
should I be looking somewhere else?

You mentioned your mpg was less than 40, I too have this problem since th
day I got the car which is more than a year ago now. I brought my car t
two different Peugeot dealers (one while under warranty) – they’v
both run diagnostic checkes and found no faults reported and they have n
idea to what’s wrong. I’m getting about 450 miles to a tank of diese
(53 Litres at the pump) which is about 39mpg. I know this mpg is RUBBIS
as I’ve been checking these figures with some time. You see I had a 40
(2.0 HDi 110) before my 307 which was much more economical, it was doin
about 700 to 770 miles to a tank of diesel (74 Litres at the pump) and m
question is has the mpg improved since fixing the above problem than yo
had or has your mpg stayed the same? I’m guessing that I should b
getting from my 307 about 530 to 560 miles to a tank of diesel with a
average of about 46mpg as its about 100 miles to 10 litres of diesel
Please note I’m also ignoring the fact that a 307 is lighter than a 40
which should also improve mpg for a 307.

Regards,
Bryan
