Peugeot 307 1.6 petrol full annual service, including gapping spark plugs and service counter reset

[@moremolecules]

It took me forever to produce this video. From forgetting to film stuff, to filming it and at the end the camera was stuck on some weird focus and everything was out of focus. Had to refilm all. So much out of focus that even had to buy a single spark plug and refilm the gapping. Hope you enjoy it. Let me know if more info is required.

[@yahyaerbay283]

I don't know if the seloneyit valve will cause so much trouble, but I think there is a malfunction in it even though I changed it, you are right.

[@moremolecules]

If it is the 1.6HDi, the solenoid valve can cause problems. Either too much pressure and not releasing or no pressure at all and no turbo, e.g. underboost or overboost.

[@jomsca403]

such a great job ! I'll be on it too after I've received my spark plugs ! Thank you sir !

[@СашаДр]

Also probably you bay some better tools. It will help a lot. Great video. Thanks.

[@moremolecules]

@@СашаДр What is wrong with my tools? Were I driving a Porsche 911 or something I would have bought expensive tools. As long as the tools do the job required, there is no need for expensive tools.

[@LucianoRicci182]

Lovely car, I remember when I was a kid my father and I would pass trough the Peugeot factory in Argentina and I would stare at the lot of brand new 307's. After a few years I was able to drive a few of them, now I own a 208 with the evolution of this engine the TU5 EC5. Not very fond of small aluminum blocks and turbos..

[@heros2110]

Thanks for the video, very informative and helpful. My friend got a 206 station wagon in mint condition with only 48,000 km, with the TU5JP4 attached to a 4 spd automatic. He is coming close to the annual service. I already have everything at home for the job. Just to be sure about the "challenges". cheers

[@moremolecules]

Mine is the same engine and gearbox, but the 307 variant. Good luck with the inspection :-)

[@piotrb6410]

Nice video, I've also got the 307 1.6i. The service counter varies from car to car and depends on your driving style and conditions. The car's ECU will automatically adjust the duration. I drive my car 90% of the time in the city, often on short distances and don't particularly look after the car. When I reset the service indicator, it shows 18600 miles to the next service.

[@XxXnonameAsDXxX]

Thank you. I don't have this engine but it very helpful to watch good technique with good camera angles.

[@martinbateman2467]

I've taken to extracting the oil out of the dripstick pipe. It save having to get under the car and all the oil can be removed. I tried doing it this way and then removing the sump plug to see if there was anything and found that there was nothing left in the sump. I makes things easier and cleaner to do

[@moremolecules]

Yes that works well. I need to buy a pump or use my syringe to get out the oil.

[@martinbateman2467]

@@moremolecules I use a hand pump vacuum system…it works really well

It is pretty simple to do an annual service in the 1.6 petrol version, I probably showed it more complex than it is.

Where is fuel filter location? Have the same location like you but can't find fuel filter(

[@moremolecules]

As far as I know there are two versions of this model. Most do not have fuel filters at all. In case you have one, it should be very next to the fuel tank! Like a small canister type of thing.

[@TH-qu5pz]

How about changing fuel filter? Is that needed?

[@moremolecules]

These 307 engines do not have a fuel filter, unless you live in a country that do have, hahaha. Mone does not and most do not have a fuel filter, but you can double check, if your car has one, it will be next to the fuel tank, just follow the fuel line. Not too sure why they decided not to have one, I suspect that the fuel injectors are quite cheap and fairly easy to replace.

[@Annyenger]

Thank you very much👍

[@fernandoclavijo5606]

Muy bueno. Gracias

[@saifqased6458]

Thank you

[@ksoulmusic]

Nice tips, I will be going to replace the spark plugs soon and this was really helpful, thank you! Off topic question seeing that you have an oil temperature gauge underneath the RPMs just like I have: Did you ever saw the temperature raising above 100 C? Mine always runs with a line above 100 degrees while maintaining a speed of ~100 km/h or more. And the coolant temperature stays at 85 C degrees, knowing that in the colder days the coolant temperature goes about 70 degrees while running. I've changed the oil since I was observing that (this summer), replace the oil temperature sensor but it didn't make any difference. Have you ever encountered that? I don't know what to think of, I was thinking maybe the head gasket is worn but the water is not boiling nor oil is present in the expansion tank or vice versa. Even I have put the car through a diagnosis and there is nothing shown. No errors. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you ^^

[@moremolecules]

Yes, the 100C is the oil temperature and on mine is the same as yours, no matter the speed, the oil temperature will be ~100C. I have not seen it rise >100C so far. This should be normal, no gasket problems. The oil goes around the engine, it cannot drop, it takes the heat from the engine and the coolant cools the oil. The coolant temperature though is rather variable, if I am travelling on highway/motorway it is ~80C, but if I stop for a short while it jumps fairly quickly to quite a bit more (90-95C), then the fan kicks in and the temperature drops and this goes on like this. Petrol engines run quite a bit hotter than diesels, my 1.6HDi does never go above 82C or so, it has to be really hot day and stationary for long time. All in all, your engine seems as mine and pretty normal.

[@ksoulmusic]

Oh I see, so then maybe it's just in my head that I would have an issue x_O Thank you man! Really appreciated! Good luck with the channel. Quality content👌

[@moremolecules]

@@ksoulmusic Nothing to worry about. If there is a head gasket issue, there will be 3 symptoms or a combination of them. Milky substance under oil filler cap (mayonaise like), or oil in the coolant expansion tank or a lot of white smoke coming from the exhaust even when engine is in operating temperature. I was always a bit worried about the relatively higher coolant temp on my 307, but forget that petrol engines are not that energy efficient as diesels.

[@maria9704]

Very helpful video. Do you know if the Peugeot 307 has greasing points?

[@moremolecules]

Thank you. Not too sure about if the 307 has greasing points. AFAIK it does not, but might be wrong.

[@maximilianozapata26]

Thank you!!! 👏👏👏

[@chaoukidd]

S'il vous plaît, quel est le numéro d'huile recommandé par le fabricant ? Homolation d huil

[@madmax8267]

no need for 30 minutes drive , you can remove oil as soon as engine get working temperature around 100 degres. also never change spark plugs on hot engine only on cold one

[@moremolecules]

Absolutely agree on both counts. I only do it for 30min in order to top up the battery as well and get some of the suspension components moving. Pandemic and all... The spark plugs, yes, completely agree. I should have mentioned that I do them the next day if I do the oil drain in the evening.

[@nazhelingenierooficial]

5w30.? Aca en Chile en verano las temperaturas alcanzan los 35 o 40 grados C. Yo uso total 10w40.

[@moremolecules]

Yes, of course. I am based in the UK and temperatures are different than other parts of the world. Milder winters/summers, hence the 5W30

[@Solon1971]

I have the 1.4 litre version manual (2007) are the spark plugs and the oil the same for my vehicle?

[@moremolecules]

Yeah, not too sure about that, do not take my word for it, but they might be the same.

[@tonykfoury9598]

In my 307 i have to put 4.5 liters so the dipstick shows the right level of oil why is that ?

[@moremolecules]

This seems quite a bit. At least my Haynes manual says 3.25L including the filter for the petrol 1.6 version. 4.5L is quite bit more, unless it is a different model than my 1.6, say 2.0L or a diesel?

[@b3nd3r42]

the oil filter should be clipped into the filter cover. Next, when replacing the filter, it should hold in the filter cover after removal

[@moremolecules]

Yes, it should but it does not always. The filter cover just holds the filter, not much else.

[@billanderson5037]

ill watch out for that one when i do an oil change I'm glad the engine is a lot easier than my santa fe that we had,ERG valve was a nightmare to change.

Hi my friend 👋 I hope you can help me 🌹 my car peugeot 307 2006 I have a problem in the power steering. * The power steerin Sometimes does not working, But when I turn off The engine and start the engine again the power steering starts works normally, sometimes Two or three days pass without any problem The power steering . 💁🏻‍♂️ And sometimes power steering stops working more then 5 times a day 🤷🏻‍♂️ I already replaced the power steering in a new one, put it still the same problem 🤦🏻‍♂️ * I think the problem is overhead . I believe that the the power steering temperature goes higher and power steering stops itself 🤔 what do you think? *P.S : wen I cool down the power steering in water hose hes starts works normally 😐 *P.S 2 : wen The Power steering works the steering wheel is very very easy to Spin and light and fast. Thank you for reading my problem and excuse me for explaining a lot 🌹

[@moremolecules]

If it is overheating, I would say that either the piping is somewhere blocked, so you may need to undo all the pipes and clean everything and replenish the fluid. Have you also tried taking the liquid out and replacing it with fresh one, something like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5-TdJ-Qd9uYqNk

[@عليسليم-ل1ع]

@@moremolecules Thank you very much, bro 🌹♥️

[@martinbateman2467]

steering pumps are a weakness on the 307, it sounds like it is on it's way out. I had to replace mine after a situation like yours that got progressively worse over time. If you replace it, it will need to be programmed to the car

[@martymartin2894]

What will happen if air filter is never changed, will engine go bad .

[@moremolecules]

It will eventually start smoking a bit as it will be starved of air. In the worst case scenario, completely blocked filter with time, the car will either stop working or the filter will be break somewhere and all the dust and particles will go through.

[@martymartin2894]

@@moremolecules ok thanks I took out mine and it's practically like new not even dirty.

@@martymartin2894 Depends on how dirty the air is where you are and how close to other cars you drive. I it always a good idea to change ot, but visual inspection is also kind of alright.

[@Mr.AL.A]

Does anyone know when to change cambelt? I heard 4 year Peugeot now says 10 year whats right?? And do you need to change the oil in the 4speed automatic gearbox?

[@moremolecules]

The car's handbook should tell you when to replace the cambelt, but 10 years seems reasonable, but of course depends on how many miles/km you have travelled. You do not need to change the oil in the auto boxes, but might be a good idea to do so.

Maybe there is air in the oolant system. Have you tried to clean any air out, for example like here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5-TdJ-Qd9uYqNk Also, does the fan kick in ~90C? Could be fan relay or the fan itself. Mine always kicks in at ~90C and brings the temp down.

I have a 2007 model 1.6 turbo berlingo car. The car accelerates late and throws excessive smoke in sudden gas and sudden accelerations. I changed the air flow sensor and turbo, I changed the injectors, and it didn't work. I changed the en75, but I changed 2 hands, I couldn't find a solution, what are your thoughts on this?

[@moremolecules]

Is this the 1.6HDi or something else? You have changed a lot of stuff, but I am not too sure what en75 is. I would check if the wastegate or turbo solenoid (if it is the 1.6HDi) are not somewhat stuck and release with a bit more pressure.

[@obi-ron]

The tools he used are called feeler gauges in the UK and they are used by car mechanics to set plugs like this all over the world. The electrode is fairly malleable so this can be done, carefully, a few times, but if you have to keep doing this, it's usually time for a new plug.
