Peugeot Problems

If it's not getting any spark, you should check the ignition coil and the engine computer. If you're not sure about doing it have a mechanic check it.

It needs to be a 12-volt battery with a capacity of 700-750 cold cranking amps. It also needs to fit into the battery box and have the appropriate terminal alignment. Buy a good quality battery. Any battery retailer should be able to help you.

Our advice is that you should drive on the ‘goo’ as little as possible and to get the tyre repaired as soon as you can. From that you could feel confident about driving more than 3 km, but you should be driving straight to the nearest tyre shop to get the puncture repaired. We can confirm it does have tyre pressure monitoring.

While they say it never needs to be replaced that really refers to the requirement for servicing. Cam belts do have to be replaced regularly, cam chains don’t, but like all moving parts chains are subject to normal wear and tear and given time they will wear out. To have to change a timing chain at 70,000 km, however, is unusual, and you would suspect that something is wrong. There are reports of problems on the 1.6-litre petrol engine. I would press Peugeot to replace the chain free of charge.
