No oil pressure! | Engine trash? would you repair it?| Peugeot 207 KFU (ET3J4) PSA

I don't know what to make of this video, but I strongly advised that the owner soled the car. But nope, so there will be a part 2. What to do, what to do...
But it almost the same if not the shame on the cars listed below. Always check your torque specs for your car!
PARTS USED:
Oil filter Mahle OX339/2D
Oil pressure sensor Hella 6ZL009600-041
The engine has been used in many PSA cars.

You did the right thing the check the oil pick up. Many have got clogged, so you did the right thing to check it, as it’s extremely important, clean sump and oil pick up

I had a similar case on my Citroen C4 1.4 16v (KFU engine): low idle oil pressure when the engine (oil) is hot. Replacing the oil sensor, oil pump, oil filter, class 5w40 oil from one brand to another, the timing variator and oil valve, and blowing the oil channels did not work. The solution was to change the oil to a different 5w50 grade (Elf Evolution) + one can "STP Motor Doctor" additive added when engine was hot.

[@gicugigel3790]

How many miles you have in the dash? Is your car still working well?

[@cousteaufan]

Very honest video. And yes I've learned from it. Thank you very much. Cheers from Belgium

[@TheDutchGarage]

no problem!

[@turecekradim]

This problem have easy solution. The solution is set in motion and clean the valve in the oil filter bowl (6:50). I have C4 2006 120000kms with this engine and this problem appeared although the oil was changing every year (for 17 years is 7000kms average) and ONLY used the manufacturer prescribed Total quartz 9000 5W40. This is typical problem of this engine, but not dangerous. 8V engines (KFW) can have same problem too. Older TU engines (KDX,KFX etc), which are technically almost same as KFU and KFW, have not this problem, cause oil filter is mounted straight into the block and this valve is not there. I also have old ZX break with 1.4 KDX 240000kms and engine still running as new...

[@fabiorossi724]

hi dude, I have same car, 2005, with 338.000 Kms!!! If you respect it, you are fine looong way.

[@TheDutchGarage]

That's the case with most things. But some things need just a bit more care than others, and because of that, they get the stamp "unreliable". What of course isn't completely fair.

[@Mr93Isaac]

What do you mean by telling to "clean the valve in the oil filter bowl"? I changed the oil pump and the whole oil filter housing and the low pressure sign is still there

I honestly don't know, it is of course possible. If there not that expensive i would try it.

[@neilhampson2843]

Cleaning the sump and flushing the oil system has done no harm at all. It's easy to be wise after the event. Most Mechanics would have just condemned the engine and put in a secondhand unit and left the customer with a large bill they could not afford.

[@TheDutchGarage]

So true, you have to know what you're dealing with. Not assume.

[@williamm3820]

Perhaps you did jump in at the deep end by not first changing the sensor, but, after seeing how dirty that engine was inside and the dirt/contamination in the oil filters, you were correct in carrying out the work you have done. Just replacing the sensor alone would have not been the long term solution. Your repair has done a much better job and was definitely needed.

[@TheDutchGarage]

Maybe you are right, it was just a big mess.

[@chillmaster434]

I've the same engine. The Problem is, that the intake manifold pressure in idle is way to high (45-60KPA) and if i press gas, the pressure goes down to normal (30kpa). Maybe the camshaft adjuster is in wrong position cuz of to less Oil pressure and this is the reason for to high intakte manifold pressure? What do you think? I've no Errors! The Oil pressure Sensor is replaced.

[@TheDutchGarage]

I'm not an expert with this engine but what i do know is that "sluge" is a real problem with it. The oil channels are easily clogged when the wrong engine oil is used. If I were you I would do an engine flush.

[@sachinchudasama6894]

Hi, I have a Peugeot 207 1.6 16V Auto with 55k miles full service history, serviced annually albeit low miles for year. It’s got the mini engine with chain. When I bought the car I thought it had chain slap but after changing the chain, sprockets, guides, original Peugeot tensioner and installed original 0w30 oil, the noise is still there. Sounds endy, high revs it goes away but on idle still sounds like chain slap albeit it’s been changed. Chain change has probably quietened the engine by 10% but it still sounds horrible. Ideas? Appreciated. Await your response. Thanks in advance!

Hi. Can you please help me with a bit of advice? I have bought the same car with the same engine. I've bought it broken with the intention to fix it. The timing belt and all the area where the belts are is full of oil. I've drained the oil, about 2 litters of it, and it seems to be just oil, but the expansion tank is full of milkshake. Can it be the head gasket or just the oil cooler? And before I get more in to it, where do you think all that oil got out from? Engine seals or just out through the expansion tank? Oh, and another question. What can I use to get that damn engine mount off? Thank you and I'm waiting for your answers.

[@TheDutchGarage]

I'm almost sure that the head gasket is gone. It's a comment problem with this engine. About the mount, I have an other video that shows how to change the timing belt on this engine. Hope that helps.

Thank you very much. I'll have to buy myself a better quality torx socket for the lateral mount screws because today when i was trying to get it undone, i've bent the torx a little bit and i also think i've damaged the screw. Anyway thanks a lot.

Try to hookup an external oil pressure gauge and see if it really dips in oil pressure. If it indeed dips then maybe the chain is worn from the oil pump else worn bearings or a clogged system.
