Peugeot 407 Front bumper and front panels removal

This video began with the intention of fixing a slightly damaged radiator grille but went as far as to remove the headlights to polish them and spray the front end with Bilt Hamber rust protection wax. As this car is getting a bit of a 'tidy up' it had a replacement undertray fitted using riv nuts to replace the questionable fixtures that were used originally. Also covered in the video is the removal of the front wings, the slam panels and the under-bonnet lining from the spares 407 bought to donate this 407 some parts and possibly for some videos in the future.

Finally! Time to start 407 series on your channel :) Is this car yours? Or are you doing it for someone?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Haha its been quite a while, i actually made a point of avoiding tbe 407 trying the volvo V70 for a while a few years ago. Although it's actually a really nice car to drive. It is my own 407 yes, there should be more videos in the pipeline and the estate leaves it possible to do even more. Although i have an avantime V6 in that needs an engine out cambelt change first.

Any tips how to replace gearbox mount (1813G9)?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi there, not sure what the part number is for as i have no way to reverse look it up. Generally speaking however the gearbox mount is under the battery tray. The air filter and battery box need to come out, support the underside of the gearbox with a jack. It may need lowered down a bit to remove the mount. Not the worst job but i have not really changed a gearbox mount just as a job on its own. Watch any of my clutch videos you will see the gearbox mounts in those videos. There is a 406 clutch video which might be as close to the 407 as i have.

Belle vidéo. Très bien faite... 👌 Je cherchais ou était passé le tuyau d'alimentation des lave phares car il est cassé au niveau du 'T'. 🤔 De fait, vu votre démontage, j'ai repéré le cheminement de ce tuyau, fixé sur le pare choc... 👍 Merci à vous. Beau boulot ! 👍 👏

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Great stuff, fantastic to hear you got it fixed. Merci Beaucoup

I have a 407 coupe, is the same procedure?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi there, i think the coupe will be vaguely similar, the bumper is a different part number but should attach the same way

[@lisardosobaquillo2168]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV Hello, it seemed to me too which should not be very different, my car has headlight washer, I'll put a message on the channel when I disassemble it. Greetings.

[@sch4096]

Thanks for the comment

[@100janosky_3]

Hi, nice vid. I wana ask..i must to remove front bumper for change front headlights..or it can be do without removing all. Thx

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

You possibly could remove one side of the bumper and pull it out of the road to slip the headlight past but i personally find it more hassle than to just go on and do it properly remove the bumper and have good access to the fasteners for the headlight

[@გულინა]

Hello. First of all thank for this video. On my Peugeot 407 does not work the headlight washer. Can you please give some advise about that? Maybe I don't know how to active...? I don't know but I hope your advise will help. Thank you

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi there The headlight washer uses a seperate pump to the windscreen washer pump to provide the pressure that cleans the headlights, it is the water pressure which causes the jets to rise and clean the headlights. The headlights need to be turned on for this function to work The washer bottle is located in the wheelarch on the right hand side of the car (right being from the perspective of someone sitting in the car looking outside) I recorded a video recently where i fix the windscreen washer system on this car, but it will be a while before i get round to editing it. Although for it i had the wheel-arch liner out and was working at the pumps. With the wheelarch liner removed and vehicle safely supported: Check the headlights washer pump works, (lights on and feel/listen for it working. If it does not work remove the electrical connectors and use a volt meter to see if 12v is there when the wiper stalk is pulled back. If it is then you have a bad pump, if its not then its possibly a fuse or some other electrical item. If the pump works then look at the piping which goes to the headlights, ideally the bumper will need removed if that piping needs replaced. Also check the washer jets to ensure they are not clogged up

[@razvantab234]

Can you take off the headlight without removing the bumper?

[@khalidacosta7133]

No, bolts are underneath.

[@goransacirovic5568]

Does 407 have front parking sensors?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Not this one, but i believe the facelifted cars got front sensors

[@marcapouli7805]

I have the coupé version and it has rear and front sensors. But this is my issue, the front sensor near the plate felt behind and I don't manage to access it. I've tried by myself but couldn't figure out how to move the bumper enough
