Another Peugeot 207 GTI Problem, this time it couldn't build up boost but I was able to drive it normally though. Error code was P1337 -Join my Facebook page: www.facebook.c...
@@NikolanovI've had friends whose 207, 208 and 3008 broke down. I'm not hating. The statistics say it all. Peugeot isn't even close to the top 10 when it comes to reliability. Don't get worked up.
@@stefano3124 my guy, all of these cars have 1.6thp engine. So if your friend had 1.6thp it was same shit as this one. Other petrol and diesel engines? Reliable as fuck.
Vucko be aware of these engines when it comes to timing. They can lose timing easily so avoid hitting the rev limiter and generally sudden movement of the engine,such as a sudden downshift,the jolt of the engine can make the timing chain skip a tooth and then the cars starts acting strange. So be gentle
I think if you only drive for groceries you're putting a large strain on the car as opposed to driving long distances. Also make sure to let the car idle before you turn it off to take good care of the turbo
I had the same great car Try to check the oxygen sensor Front gasoline fuel (electronic). I recommend this option Always fill your tank with 98 octane fuel The oil gauge should be 5-30
If you don't want to burn a sh*t ton of oil you better run the THP with a 5w40 oil. Some people use thicker oil when doing a lot of (or only) track days such as 10w60
P1337 for THP engine is : "misfire cylinder 1, risk to detoriate catalyst" "Rate of misfires in cylinder 1 sufficient to damage the catalyst, with low fuel level. Check ignition coils, spark plugs, injectors". That's what the document from Peugeot themselves says ! If not any of the specified parts, it usually is the high pressus pump or timing chain.
I also got boost problems and I currently have 4 fault codes, camshaft position sensor (engine timing over-advanced) and boost pressure code etc. but been driving it. Also engine overhaul done at 175000km, new pistons etc. because a hole appeared in my piston
@@VuckoHDimo it's expensive and only looks cool 😆 It's useful if you run an external dump valve for sure but with the stock dump valve it's useless for the perf imo 😆
Don’t worry if it makes you feel better, my puegeot 207 Gti needs new driveshafts needs a whole new transmission (because I can’t drive manual for shit😂, but I’m learning) it running too rich, I just have a whole book of problems that need addressing😭😂
ive been looking into buying a 207rc with hopes of it not being too difficult on me. i.e not having to do any extensive maintenance on it constantly but just regular maintenance (oil, filters etc.) and being able to just drive it daily without worrying about it too much. do you think that if i get a decent one without too many KM on it ill be able to daily it without it being a headache or is it pretty bad in terms of maintenance?
Literally no one I know that ever had a peugeot had no issues, lol.
Just the classic THP problems xD I bought another car to get rid ofmy ds3
literally only 1 problematic engine dude...

@@Nikolanov That's not what the statistics say. You sound very defensive. No need for that.
I expect much worse tbh, good job looking forward for new Peugeot content! :) ❤
I saw your thumbnail, my head went "an other victim of the exhaust manifold failure" or the timing 😭

U should change the intercooler pipes in the engine makes a huge difference it's like the car gets anew tune
I'm would love to but right now they are very expensive

Vuce imas li ti negde gde bi te mogao kontaktirati?
i had all the same problems I love the car but every time the car broke I wanted to bash my head into a wall so I sold it 😿
Amico io sono uscito pazzo ..stesso problema Peugeot 3008 thp
isti problem sam imao variator radilice je bio problem i resio sam
You should sell it and buy a VTEC.
It's good car I have one and everyday I travel from Oman to Dubai
Which vtec in 1.6 is faster than 207 gti remapped. Mine is 202hp (ecu remap and exhaust)and I’m faster from b16 Honda stock or remapped
