One nugget of information is the External temperature sensor MUST be in operation for the DPF to regenerate. I noticed the external temp reading was blank and there were DPF invoices. The external temp sensor is in the drivers wing mirror and will be a little nipple on the underside of the mirror. Chances are it’s either damaged or it’s been replaced with a aftermarket mirror that didn’t include the temp sensor.
1st thing to do when buying any French car is inform your doctor they will provide you with a list of symptoms you will encounter these are (1) confusion (2) sleeplessness (3) anxiety and irritability (4) Peugeot rash aka self harming (5) depression leading to erectile dysfunction
Save your tears and frustration, buy a much better Van Ford Transit, Mercedes, VW, more expensive to buy but more reliable better equipped, better resale value
Other than the wing mirror sensor as below comment, They all crunch the gears, i had one with 7000 miles 5th crunched, same with one just stolen 19000 miles and every Citroen fiat etc The box will crunch a bit depending how you drive it,
not a bad introduction to buying one of these, but one of the main problems with these vehicles, despite nearly 20yrs of production, are the poorly designed, and leaking skuttle drains, which have been likely badly neglected by the previous to give flooding in the engine bay. with obviously dire consequences. Any signs of moisture move onto another inspection
Only if they are Euro 5 from 2012 onward. The ones before had issues with self desroying motors. The Motor generally is a Ford Puma motor (at least the 2.2) same as in Transit and I think it is okay, but not perfect. It has a chain, so its good because no maintenance at the same time it is bad, because you never check if the chain needs a change or not. Injectors can be an issue. I have a 2013 Boxer with 2.2 130 and it does not like to start. So I am looking now to get a newer one, even though I am not happy about the Additives and extra tank and issues that come from ad blue...
these are absolute garbage - relay, boxer, movano, ducato. All Fiat underneath with stereotypical Fiat "reliability" ie zero. It'll cost you more than the van is worth to keep it on the road. Everything breaks on them and everything is at least a grand to fix once you factor in labour and VAT. Just avoid them and get a Sprinter.

This can be very detrimental. Mine went faulty then read 51c on the dash. It was driving like a breakdown was imminent 😮

You're a funny c***
@@stevenclarke5606Clueless 🤡
That’s been very helpful, well explained and easy to understand. Thank-you
What a great, informative video, thank you

Cheap to buy but you'll give it all back in parts and labour
Good advice. Anyone ever remove the oil cap or dip stick to check for smoke as a result of blow by?
Just a few major issues then 😂
At 5:58 what are you looking at to see that the oil is full? I can't see any oil level indicator on the dash?

That vehicle is not displaying the outside air temperature so it will not regenerate
So check for leaks check the paperwork
Are the older 2.2s better?
Wondering the same

Running the fule tank near empty not a good habit
I had peugeot boxer when I was multi drop driver it had things gone wrong all time,not reliable at all.
I have the 2.2 hdi on a 2016 model Citroen Relay. The engine cuts out at speed on motorways as I slow down. Go figure. Junk.
At 5:57 Temp Gauge -_____C not showing ?
Yes and must be in operation for the DPF to regenerate.
Buying that van is buying a DPF failure in the near future.
No doubt airbag light on/airbag module is a common fault
So basically don't buy one. Shame cos I was just about to buy a Citroen Relay but not after this.
Don’t buy anything at all, less van man’s - more jobs for us 😉
Its not pronounced Hatch its Atch.... specific video for 2lr Van so turned off as soon as you start on about HPI....
@@user-ek8ey7pz9m what in gods great earth are you going on about?
If you had the concentration to watch past the first minute or so the video perhaps would have had a modicum of use to you..

Had Sprinters, they break just as often and cost even more to fix!! 😆
Please do not buy a sprinter. They are an electrical nightmare on post 2018 models. Overpriced and over rated.
Nice..insult me..cool...if you didn't clickbait ( AKA lie) Im sure I could have watched the rest without being sick in my mouth
You need to improve your camera skills and stop keep moving camera about I just change to a better video
