Hi
This car Peugeot came to me with the engine light on, very under powered, and if pulled over 3.5-4k RPMs, would go into limp mode..
A few things wrong with it, and ultimately, found both, the problem, and what caused the broken part to fail...
Follow me on this video to find out what was the problem and how to resolve it.
Hope you enjoy the video.
Any questions or comments put them below.

There were some things I wanted to write but in the end you did a fine job Luis and didn´t change anything that wasn´t necessary . The non comm with the ECU was a bit strange but than again , it has happened to me also . With a charger connected weird things and with a new battery all OK . Never second guessed it .

[@colinhamer6506]

one thing I have seen a few times now with the THP prince engine that is a easy fix but hard to find and the symptoms are very similar to this the air pipe to the throttle body pushes itself off and because it is held in place by the bolts on the plastic part of the pipe every thing seems to be ok until the turbo kicks in and pushes the pipe away from the throttle body

The catalytic converter can be cleaned. Usually the companies that sell replacement catalytic converters want the original part back to re-manufacture it most likely.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Not in this case... Thank you for watching!

[@egon2875]

Been looking at the wife's 3008 thp as it seemed to be down on power. Just a heads up, the diverter valve is a weak point and the bmw mini one fits, is cheaper and stronger too! Handy! The rear pcv can be blocked with a Peugeot part as they realised that the breather causes massive carbon build up. I'll be checking the cat tomorrow though as she only does 5 miles a day commute..... Awesome video and thanks!

My Peugeot rcz is having the same problem now. My first guess is to change the air intake since it's somehow damaged. I think I might have to check the CAT too. How much did the client spend in total?

[@DarkoMDj]

Hey Buddy, did you solve the issue with your RCZ? I have the 1.6 THP 200 and got P2263 (Turbocharging air circuit, pressure too high - intermittent) following with P0299 (Turbocharging air circuit, pressure too low - permanent)

[@mardina1a]

Good work.thank you.wondering why that ecu significant blocked exthaus system instead of turbo preassure?there are 2 sensors on cat in and out to measure that but no any fault code.if you put filters like dpf,cat,egr onto exthaus systems that will reduce engine power in long therm usage 2x2=4

All Prince series engine's are garbage not helped by the owners neglecting even the most basic maintenance but the amount I see with timing chain failure running faults carboned up or with HPFP failure is ridiculous.

Bom vídeo...e esse problema de conexão da VCI com a ECU do motor (no grupo da PSA) também acontece por vezes na máquina de diagnóstico da TEXA...e já reparei que primeiro entro na BSI e assim já comunica com a ECU ...não sei se é do próprio sistema do carro ou da máquina de diagnóstico!

[@vattna]

Thank you for the very informative video. I have a 207 turbo with the p0299 error code after revving more than 3500 rpm for 3 seconds. I have checked vacuum, changed the electric valve. How can I check if I need to replace the valve cover? Is it possible to verify if the valve cover have failed?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Watch from minute 29:00... You can also smoke test (which I never done on this video), if any leaks the smoke test should highlight them... Then the valve on the cove as I've also explained... 👍👍👍

[@vattna]

@@LMAutoRepairs the valve on the back of the cover should be open if the pressure is low and close if the pressure is high, I assume. That makes the smoke test more complicated.(at least for me, I am a noob).

[@vattna]

@LMAutoRepairs Thanks, I have the same 2 codes as you have at 29:00. I suspect the air pressure just escapes through the valve cover back into the low pressure side If the back valve stays open. Can't figure out how to test if the valve closes under pressure?

Would an overboost situation that drops the turbo until you restart the car be caused by a blocked catalytic converter? VCDS error P0234 on a 2010 VW Touran 1.9TDI BXE 105BHP engine with close to 170,000 on the clock. Turbo is on the back of the engine at the bottom and it is labour intensive just to inspect, so just trying to compile a list of possible issues. I have just had the camshaft and lifters replaced and there was a severely worn cam and a few lifters were severely worn.

Usually indicates that the wastegate is stuck closed which builds too much air pressure inside and it can cause big engine damage.

I know about the usual diesel glow plugs and 3 out of the 4 are working from what I was told, the fourth wasn’t removable without dismantle the head according to the garage. It’s almost like the car starts to turn over and some blockage or lack of fuel sensing occurs, but, if I remember on a cold morning, I can over come this by pressing the accelerator while it turns the engine on and it forces a smoky throaty start every time.

Hi mate i need some help i have a laguna II ph2 2006 2.0 dci 173bhp. A mechanic deleted by mistake my injectors, I document my self on the internet and I managed to rewrite the injector codes then I had to reprogram my glow plugs and the car works flawlessly apart the black smoke that comes out from the exhaust(before it dident use to smoke at all!!) I had a look at the injectors correction data ppl say they work properly, I had a look at the egr and it's not clogged, I checked all the intercooler/air/vacuum pipes they are all ok. once the car lost power just like in one of your renault traffic videos when you press acceleration and notthing would happen but then i put it into reverse and works since then.

Hi.. can egr cause low boost ...?

[@Stoney3K]

In some cases. If the EGR is stuck open and it's mounted on the high pressure side, any boost will just blow out the exhaust. Also, if the EGR doesn't work properly, the filters downstream (cat or DPF) can get clogged and this would cause the turbo not to spool.

You can possibly program it out of the car, by clone the ecu, using k-tag or similar... But, if you can actuate the fans with the diagnostic tool, and they work, then I doubt is going to be the ecu... the control side is the same, whether you actuate them with the diagnostic tool, of they come on when the temp gets to the set point... Your problem will most likely be something else... I am not completely rule out the ecu, but if is the ecu, is a different circuit... Can you see the coolant temperature on the live data?
