I Tuned my Peugeot 207 GTI! [Stage 1]

[@michaelplumb2191]

At the end of the day it's how the car feels in the real world . If it feels a lot stronger on acceleration they must have done something right . I had a Golf 2.0 TDI 140 and after the remap it blew my socks off ! Enjoy your car and be safe .

[@chrism869]

Thats a lot of power gain for this car, the difference is definitely noticable.

Greetings fron Greece my friend. I had the same temperature issue and changed the thermostat like you did and it kept doing the same thing again. So I did a search and found this on a 207 forum. "The thermostat on these cars is electronic which is why you see the temperature gauge going up and down. They are controlled by the engine control unit. Since they require many connections and some insulators, they are larger and more cumbersome than the old ones. However, the mechanism by which they open and close remains largely the same in many cases. They are usually powered by one electromagnetic valve controlled by the engine control unit. The opening and closing of this type of thermostat can be controlled based on more factors than just the temperature of the antifreeze"

Excellent mate . Thanks for sharing your performance . from Australia

[@theilluminatimember8896]

This is the best comparison I've seen

[@arwotf5224]

Love the results and I can see u enjoy it too. Lookin forward to tune mine too after this. Just to mention ur doin awesome job on this car. Keep it goin man.

[@VuckoHD]

Thanks, I have plenty of interesting videos coming, and yeah I do enjoy it!

[@richyclubsport5155]

Can't believe you haven't upgraded the brakes, after the modifications, they are not that Brilliant from the factory, poor bite, fade after several stops from high speed, that was the first thing i upgraded on my GT CC turbo when i got it, and added anti roll bars, stops fast, no break fade, and handles like it's on rails, didn't lower it, as GT already has 25mm upgraded springs from factory

[@jonathan_bdlf]

I love your video quality! I'm looking forward to buy a 207 SW RC 👀

[@MoosCoolBoy84]

I'm sooo excited!

[@zensink-tattoostudiovolkov9858]

I have a 207 cc and instead of a BOV I bought a GFB DV+ and that gave it heaps more power after that I installed a Forge induction kit and a oil catch can after that I had to upgrade the brakes to forge also added a turbo timer then I had the stage 1 dyno done and now it's too fast

[@alek123ish]

Lets do the RR Racing remap for the Lexus next

[@majkirbs6536]

I have Citroen DS3 1.6 thp 115 kw and it does the same thing with coolant temperature. Even before upgrading to air intake it did that. So I think its just speciality of those engines xD

[@aleksandersaski5387]

Is it possible to swap the original gearbox with the 6-gear one from 207 156HP?

[@FLYSTARTVLONDON]

💪🏾

[@kerepeczkibence2540]

Just a question, is the cars thermostat good? just because of the coolant temp is going up-down-up-down

[@VuckoHD]

@@kerepeczkibence2540 I replaced it and put a brand new one but its still doing it. Keep in mind it wasnt doing that before my Intake and intercooler upgrade

[@titanbengal]

Great video. Would you say the Peugeot is quicker than the 250?

[@VuckoHD]

Thanks, Yes right now my Peugeot is way quicker. I made a video of Lexus IS250 vs Peugeot 207 GTI before Stage 1 tune, check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX3WcnR3a7uKr6M

[@kacperbranka]

good job : )

[@krisstoney6892]

Hi Vucko, great video mate I have a question if you can help or advise. I have a Peugeot 207 1.6 HDi and it has 17" Hockenhiem GTi alloy wheels. I am looking to lower it was thinking 35mm but the back has quite a gap. I just can't decide I know 35mm is more sensible but after spending out money I want to notice a bit of a difference.

[@VuckoHD]

Hi, from my experience I installed Eibach springs 30mm and front it lowered 30-35mm, and rear only 15mm. If you think about buying coilovers then I dont know, I never bought them

[@denisvancak132]

And what’s Corolla ?

[@jim-oi5wn]

Awsome, has the depolution light stayed off since? Mine has just come on :'(

[@VuckoHD]

Nope, still no depolution system faulty. Sad to hear about your case :/

[@richyclubsport5155]

Could be numerous things, coil packs, plugs, camshaft sensor, egr valve, all simple, and cheap diy fix, check oil level, incorrect oil can bring the light on as can incorrect oils, but the biggie, watch out for stretch timing chain, that brings on Depopulation System Faulty to, any timing chain noises and it's time for replacement before the engine goes bang, generally last 50-80k before stretching, mine started to rattle on cold start at 55k

[@hmmmtietmetmosterd]

Dude! I gave mine angel eye headlights! You should do the same!

[@giannisweightlifting3996]

any changes for handling improvement? suspension/ antiroll bars/ diff?

[@VuckoHD]

Only Eibach 30mm lowering springs

How many seconds to 100kmp with stage1?

[@VuckoHD]

I will make a 0-100kmh video this summer so stay tuned. I think it can do around 6.5-7.0 seconds

[@小苹果_88]

hi, do you still own a Peugeot 207?

[@VuckoHD]

Yes

[@JuicingDailyTV]

These are very cheap in the UK, I've heard they are very very bad reliability and have ECU problems

[@richyclubsport5155]

I've had two GTIs in the past, and currently own a CC GT turbo, i change the oil every 5k, not when light says service due, they tend to burn oil, i find that i need a half liter top up every 1000 miles, use correct oils, the reason why many have problems is incorrect oil, which leads to chain problems, never had ECU problem, change plugs regularly, again using correct ones, only issues I've had are coil packs and camshaft sensors, but that applies to most modern cars, every 2000 miles i add a tin of Clean Drive, best fuel treatment i know, cleans everything, including carbon deposits, which can cause problems, and only ever use high octane fuel from Shell or BP. The other thing I've done on all of them is upgrade the brakes, the factory ones aren't good enough in my opinion. Never had any reliability problems yet on all three, but was very careful buying, checking the service records, and servicing as soon as purchased, using everything i described

[@tecker842]

@@richyclubsport5155 im about to purchase a gti on 86000 miles, whats the first things i should do ?

[@richyclubsport5155]

@@tecker842 simple, insist on seeing it stone cold, any rattles on start up, avoid, or cost in timing chain and tensioner replacement, check water level, again cold, head gaskets and thermostats can be problematic, check oil level, if it's low, walk, probably damaged internally already, i check my oil weekly, and use correct oil. Obvious things like make sure clutch pedal at correct height, and not slipping, check front springs, can crack and break, I've replaced both mine last year, one was cracked in mount, uneven tyre wear can indicate suspension problems. Service history helps, but doesn't always mean much, there's good and bad garages. Then take for a good run, make sure not smoking, check inside tail pipe, if its black beware, probably burning oil, check electrics, although I've not had problems i know many who have. Good ones are fantastic cars, bad ones are a money pit. Hope that helps
