Thank you, gives me confidence to have a go at this. Not splitting hairs, but it is highly recommended to replace the main bolts as they stretch over the course of time. Satisfying to see the job completed :)
Funny part is that triangle bit fails only on the stock PSA gasket. On aftermarket gaskets which that piece doesn't fail cause it doesn't separate they're more durable and the oil/ coolant mix doesn't happen on those. TLDR aftermarket gaskets are better and more durable than the stock psa gasket.
So i dont have to take the timing belt fully off?. Im confident doing gasket but not so the timing belt. See how i feel as i go. Pump will probably need changing too
My Peugeot 306 XR 1.4l 3-door hatchback in the beautiful color Peugeot EGED has this issue, which i recently discovered after a failed MOT. Drove it to a garage where i have access to a bridge and plenty of tools and discovered coolant in the oil after taking off the valve cover. The MOT report itself cited the blinkers were too yellow, too high emission, front brakes rotted, something wrong with the rear suspension(later discovered myself the right rear shock absorber was completely stuck) and the chassis beams infront have rot, though luckily behind the front wheels where its easily accessible by just removing the wheels, or for entire access by removing the strut towers. But in a week or two I'm gonna fix the stuff on the mot report and do a block revision, already ordered all the parts for the suspension and lights, brakes, rust converter and primer + paint + rust protector for the spots to be cut out and replaced But the coolant in oil resevoir indicates head gasket failure and also likely why the emissions are too high, gonna order a complete gasket kit, new water pump, belt, pulleys etc. The car just looks too good to not save it
Great video, it helped a lot. But upon starting the engine there was coming exhaust smoke fromt the oil cap. What could be the cause of this? I cleaned the mating surface thoroughly but didn't bring the cylinder head to the machinist for resurfacing. Could be the head warped? And if yes where could the smoke leak through?
Great job, i saw that when you removed the gasket, it was on one side ,and when you fitted the new one, it was on the other side, it makes any difference? I am asking because i bought a new head gasket by original code and the silicone guard is fitted on the opposite side of the original one. (i hope that you get what i am trying to say). Thank you!
@@DIYGarageProjects that is true. Some sealant rings doesn't like solvent but at least with vags, some coolant hoses soften dramatically because of oil and oil also weaken coolant system effectivity.
How long would you estimate this took you from start to finish? My 1.6l 16v has this exact same issue. I know it can be left, and there will probably be no major problem, but I would like to fix it anyway. I am wondering whether I can complete this job myself in a reasonable amount of time. I guess it’s more complicated with dohc?
@@nathanpickett1086 no , not a thing, just find a hole in it, and align the hole with the hole on the block while the belt is on, and put a drill bit or a screw in it
Guys, great work and thanks for posting but shouldn't the head bolts have been replaced as they are stretch bolts and are a one time only use? Regards Jay
I frankly dont know, but i do know that we should have had the head grinded flat, we didnt and it works so fat, for how long, i dont know. Thanks for watching
You are right Jay,but bolts were not available at the time. We found out for leakage around christmas ( not alot of stores worked around that time) And i didn't want wait for bolts since it was bothering me that water is leakage into the engine. So corners where cut. But it works fine for now.
@@DIYGarageProjects I have been told by older mechanic this is common fault and should be ok whereas another says to definitely get head skimmed.. I have to do mine and not sure what to do..Is the car still ok and was it 120' on all the bolts after 30 np tightening sequence
Hi Guys, I have 2011 Peugeot 207 1.4 petrol. I have oil in coolant but not coolant in engine oil. What do you think , do I have oil cooler problem or still have Head gasket ?
Oh, the only way some oil would get in your air box is through the outlet on the valve cover, that outlet is used for oil vapors to burn in the engine so some oil should be normal.
@@DIYGarageProjects you know how it works ? At low rpm there is alot vacuüm ! With higher rpm there is less vacuum.You have the big tube that go the the airbox And you have the small that go to the intake manifold ! How dos it work ? Like this : with low rpm the gasses go tru the small tube to the intake ,And with high rpm the gasses go to the airbox ? Pff i dont know! Imagine full trottle ! Gasses under piston ..big pressure ! ... i dont understand exact how it works.I have a theaspoon amount of oil in the airbox !
Sir we a old mahindra jeep mm540 with Peugeot engine....2months before its headgasket burned....so we are opening the head but in between the head's 4 main bolts are broked so what can we do and its a aluminum header the bolts are stucked....and the header is not remove from approx. 30years....what can we do now?please gives us idea

Thanks . This is just what I need. It is a common problem in 206,

My brother has head gasket issues but on exhaust side using coolant but no leaks ,but exhaust when revved after good run shows white smoke moisture
GREAT VIDEO THANKS GOT SAME PROBLEM and tommorow i will fix it thx again for the video
Love your art skills on the valve cover 😆
So i dont have to take the timing belt fully off?. Im confident doing gasket but not so the timing belt. See how i feel as i go. Pump will probably need changing too
MUCHAS GRACIAS AMIGO . EXELENTE VIDEO. COMPACTO ,MUY EXPLICITO . GOOD JOB , CONGRATULATIONS.
Have you also flushed the coolingsystem? Taken the opportunity to replace timingbelt? Changed sparkplugs? Change oil?
You didnt ressurface the head right? Did the same job... Only cleaning the head and block... Working like a charm
Yes, only cleaned, still works

Did you reuse the old head bolts, just wondering as I've got the same job coming up?
Yes we did
Good job guys well done 👏

Gasket can only fit that way
Does the rocker arm have a direction or indifferent?
Hola prodra decirme como seria el orden para regular valvulas en esos motores 1.4?
What did u use to wash oil away from coolant system?
Alot of destiled water
@@DIYGarageProjects just only water, no any solvent with it?
No, was afraid it would damage gaskets inside, some oil inside wont do anything
@@DIYGarageProjects that is true. Some sealant rings doesn't like solvent but at least with vags, some coolant hoses soften dramatically because of oil and oil also weaken coolant system effectivity.
I really think not much oil was left in the system

Definitely half a day especially if your on your own
My peugeot is leaking oil into the water so do I have to have the head skimed
Hi there how did you lock the engine up got the pins can't find the hole have a peugeot 207 1.4 2010 petrol thanks
Hey sorry it’s an old video, did you mark the timing or did you use the correct tools? Thank you
There is a hole through the puley in the block, we put a drill bit through it tp lock it in place
@@WTGamingHD thank you! You’re a legend I’ve got this tomorrow but don’t have the kit! Did you have to do anything for the crankshaft pulley?
Camshaft** sorry
@@nathanpickett1086 no , not a thing, just find a hole in it, and align the hole with the hole on the block while the belt is on, and put a drill bit or a screw in it
@@WTGamingHD that’s great, so much simpler than the newer ones! Thanks for your help
I’ve just changed mine and the start up isn’t great it still sounds really rough. Will this be the timing or the head gasket no sealed?
Sound like timing to me
Buying a 106 from auction should I consider it if it says needs a new head gasket??
Its easy enough to change
Is this the 8 valve engine?
Hi I have the same problem on a 207 a 1.4 petrol ?
Hi guys i have a same issue, the oil have in colant, and have overheating issue, my quation is it is possible in gasket problem?
Nice work
hello is this the same l4 8valve engine that was used in 97 peugeot 306? i heard its most common issue with this engine
Yes i think it is
Could you do mine aswell?

Still running fine after 15k km i think
Like to see the manifold crack repair pls
How long time did it takes to you? Thx!
Around 7 hours
can you tell me what the tightening sequence is for the Peugeot 207 petrol?
It depends on the engine, you should google it
Hi Guys, I have 2011 Peugeot 207 1.4 petrol. I have oil in coolant but not coolant in engine oil. What do you think , do I have oil cooler problem or still have Head gasket ?
It sounds to me like a head gasket problem, same as ours, oil is pressurised so it can leak to your coolant. My bet is on a headgasket
@@DIYGarageProjects thanks for replying back to me quickly.
No problem
hey man, i have the same problem with my car, u have any advice?
Mine has a little bit oil in the airbox ! What is the problem ? Engine runs normal
Do you have a turbine?
@@DIYGarageProjects no turbo ,the same engine as yours ! 1.4
Oh, the only way some oil would get in your air box is through the outlet on the valve cover, that outlet is used for oil vapors to burn in the engine so some oil should be normal.

And you see the upper part from the airbox is special ! For crankcaseventilation!
Sir we a old mahindra jeep mm540 with Peugeot engine....2months before its headgasket burned....so we are opening the head but in between the head's 4 main bolts are broked so what can we do and its a aluminum header the bolts are stucked....and the header is not remove from approx. 30years....what can we do now?please gives us idea
buy a good 2nd hand engine. lol
You leave th me intake manifold on the head next time
Is this the 8 valve engine?
Yes
