307 ignition

Calling on any experts out there
I bought my year old 307 in December , the indicator wouldn't cancel so I
took it back to the dealer who after 6 weeks changed the comms 2000. They
told me there was a call back for the steering lock which would be ordered
and when it arrived I would be notified. I completely forgot about this
until about 3 weeks ago (that's 5 months after they said they would order
it)my 307 just stopped and all sorts of warnings came on the computer .It
completely reset the clock, service miles and would not start again. There
was a burning smell in the engine and the battery positive lead was very
hot. I was towed to the garage and the engineer told me it is the steering
lock /ignition unit which should have been changed had failed causing the
starter motor being powered up all the time I was moving causing it to burn
out, Has anyone else had a problem like this and does his explanation seem
correct

 

Hello,

Problem also seemed to occur on some fully-muxed 406s.
Problem was sorted out by a new firmware, IIRC.

 

problem due to ignition barrel fault,the dealer should NOT have let you take
car away,they should have given you a courtesy car until the new barrel
arrived,they HAVE been negligent,get in touch with customer services and go
mental

 

no getting in touch with customer services will send you mental
they are hopeless

however the calls are logged and the dealer mentioned will still get a
letter from peugeot

 

well the dealers must have had a library from my phone calls
no joke
