Peugeot Trouble Codes and Known Issues

Peugeot (Stellantis, formerly PSA Group) uses TU and EC gasoline engines, the 1.6 THP turbo (developed with BMW) and HDi diesels. The AL4 automatic transmission, the same unit as Renault's DP0, was the most common for years in the 206, 207 and 307.

Most searched models: 206, 207, 208, 2008, 301, 308, 3008, 408, 5008 and Partner.

Common problems on Peugeot vehicles

  • Timing chain, tensioner and carbon buildup on the 1.6 THP.
  • AL4 automatic transmission: pressure solenoids and harsh shifts.
  • EGR valve and fuel pressure on HDi diesels.
  • Plastic thermostat housing.
  • Ignition coils on 1.6 16v engines.

Tips for diagnosing a Peugeot

  • On the 1.6 THP, change the oil at the recommended interval and check the level between changes: it burns oil easily.
  • Many Peugeots need the factory scan tool (or a compatible one) to access every module.
