Great video very helpfull not just the vid but comments too so thank you very much.

Hey thanks for your video. I just picked up an old Peugeot 308 1.6 petrol (2009) for my girlfriend to learn to drive in. It came with the P0014 and depollution fault. I was about to change the solenoid but when I checked the spark plug reservoirs 2 of them were full of oil. I have just purchased a new rocker gasket and will use your video to help when it arrives. I was worried it might be the head gasket at first. Did you find out more about the white sludge? Was it the head gasket? Thank you

[@mrfxr1695]

Thanks, take it easy and will be all good. White sludge was worrying for a start, but I noticed that was coming and going ( it would show on underside of oil cap as well). Apparently there engines can condensate within timing chain housing if ruin on short journeys. On longer runs moisture will evapurate completely. Apparently it is normal. I've had no other issues with it Regards to p0014, it could be that exhaust solenoid is just clogged up. It is very sensitive on oil. Wrong viscosity or old dirty oil can cause issue. Cleaning solenoid valve and changing oil and filter often sorts it

[@OKuusava]

Great video. If I guess you desided that exessive oil consumption was from these gaskets? -and: did this change make the change on that? We have same engine on our Citroen Gran Picasso, and it drinks nowadays abt 2-3 litres yearly, on 10-15kkm driving.

[@mrfxr1695]

It halved oil consumption for me, these engines still use fair amount of oil even when everything is good

Bud, You must be a real Christian to help people like this. I don’t have this car but if I would have one, your video would mean great value 🎉

I have the problem of the rubber falling off the Cover.. Can i also glue it onto the cover or maybe place the rubber on the block??

[@mrfxr1695]

You can use a smear of HT silicone to hold it

hye ., need to remove battery terminal or not ?

[@mrfxr1695]

It is always a good practice to disconnect when you're doing any sizable work on the engine, especially that engine( it will give you more room for work)

[@antanasmaciulskis8454]

would leaky cover gasket result in blueish fumes coming out of the exhaust when accelerating?

[@mrfxr1695]

Probably not, bluish smoke is generally caused by burning engine oil. Either piston rings are worn, could be head gasket, turbo issue, pcv valve, engine oil level too high... If only present at start up, then I would suspect valve stem seals It all depends on amount of smoke and how often it happens Sometimes bad ignition and overfueling can make unburned fuel to cause smoke on heavy acceleration

[@antanasmaciulskis8454]

@@mrfxr1695 thanks for replying. I know for sure I overfilled it with oil by mistake, its more than full right now, so that might be causing the excess amount of smoke

[@mrfxr1695]

Please reduce the oil level to below max mark on dipstick, it can cause you long term issues with the engine.

[@ventsislavivanov4542]

Hi , great video , is there tourgue spec's for the bolts ? Thank you

[@mrfxr1695]

This is what I've managed to find on the net. "There is a specific order for tightening these bolts which is from the centre to outer and the torque quoted in Haynes Manual is 10 Nm = 4 lb.ft. "

brought my first peugeot 207 2008 1.4 and i not sure if this is normal when i get in the car and start it then put seat belt on the console light driver goes out but the speedo dash seat belt stays on for 1 minute then goes off can you tell me if this is normal for peugeot

[@mrfxr1695]

I believe it is normal, it is there to remind for passenger seat belts as well I believe

How many kilometers does the car have?

[@mrfxr1695]

Just over 70K miles, about 115-120K Km

[@psr1133]

Really good video. But you didn’t show how to remove the fuel line and I’m not sure how to remove it

[@mrfxr1695]

There should be a plastic retaining clip ( white if I remember correct) that has to be released, just be careful not to lose it if it comes all the way out

[@psr1133]

Thanks. Do you need to depressure the fuel like before removing it?

[@mrfxr1695]

@@psr1133 not really, it's a low pressure feed pipe. The only thing to keep in mind, after reconnecting you'll have to turn ignition key to contact position (without cranking engine) to power fuel supply pump so it can purge the air Happy New Year

[@psr1133]

I have managed to remove the clip and change the new seal and put everything back together. However, I have lost the clip in somewhere in the car as it fell down haha. Do you know where I get a new clip?

[@mrfxr1695]

@@psr1133 in glad you've managed to complete it. I've lost a clip once but managed to find it on top of engine subframe. I would imagine you could get it from Peugeot dealer, official service. It shouldn't be expensive

[@Tomasso1977]

This is the valve gasket, not the head gasket. However, job well done.

[@mrfxr1695]

Of course, it is not head gasket. It is head cover gasket, or valve cover gasket, or cam cover gasket or rocker cover gasket,.... 😉 All the best 👍

Am un peugeot din 2013 și-mi afumă bujiile nu sunt cu ulei doar afumate și le schimb,la relanty dacă stau cu ea pornită 10/12min.la plecare după loc scoate fum alb după care dispare poate fi vvt-ul?

[@mrfxr1695]

Hi, I'm not sure if I understood it correctly. Smoke on start up that clears away could be failed valve stem seals. Usually issues with vvt would result in engine fault codes. Have you run diagnostics, any codes?

[@mariansandu2451]

Mulțumesc! Nu an făcut o diagnoza,am să fac dar nu știu ce înseamnă tijă de supapă (poate fi semeringurile de supapă?) AM desfăcut vvt-ul din față pe care lai arătat în clip și nu am putut să scot sita dar la-am curățat cu soluție de frână și tot așa face adică tot îmi afumă bujiile mai mult la piatonul1.Mulțumesc pentru răspuns!
