Peugeot Anti Pollution Error. Fixed

Antipollution Fault Peugeot Citroen

[@Exnomorph]

I have a Peugeot 207 1.6 VTI - the antipollution fault could be related to either a head gasket issue or ECU issue, mine appeared for a day then disappeared the day after, I believe I have a vacuum leak in the intake system somewhere causing the miss fire (the engine shuddering + shaking) the antipollution fault is caused due to a bad air/fuel mix ratio so recommended fixes are - look for vacuum leaks, inspect spark plugs (these need to be changed every few thousand miles), look at the fuel injectors (have them changed if necessary) get a mechanic to look at the coil packs too (these are known to fail on the 1.4 and 1.6 petrol engines ) if nothing else works look at the PCV valve(this is responsible for regulating the blow-by gasses in the engine and put them into the intake system if this gets clogged or stuck could cause values to be off therefore causing the fault) get this replaced if necessary, hope this helps people.

Thanks Exnomorph, a lot of information which someone may find useful.

Peugeot 207 1,4 hdi . once I had a fuel pressure valve and once a fuel pressure regulator and always just change for new one but same story I was loosing power because of pressure

[@wp5122]

This solution worked for me 🎉. Thank you so much! After the fix I needed to reset the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to clear the warning message. You can do this by disconnecting the car battery for a few minutes, then reconnecting it.

I have the same problem on my C4 what is the name of the sensor you changed ?

[@jamesumpleby1655]

If you drive your car more likely for short distances then engine will not get hot enough to start the regenerating process to clean the cloged particulate filter resulting in a antipollution fault. Drive your car to a motorway or empty dual carriage way (best in nights). The temperature meter should be showing above 60°C when you begin with this process. Place 3rd gear and drive your car at 3000-3500 rev /min for 15 to 20 minutes to let the ecu to kick the regeneration process. Keep driving car for 15 minutes in this state will be enough to clean your catalytic converter and your problem will be solved. But if it doesn't then the problem is with your catalytic converter and more probabily you need to change it. This worked for me 100%

Does the 1.4 diesel version have this sensor do you know? constant anti-pollution warnings on mine

[@green-crocs-fixes1520]

Sorry Gneez, this 1.4 Petrol engine is just one I resolved for someone. I don't know if a Diesel version has the same setup.

[@fenorcity]

thats a VVT valve - hydraulic valve to adjust cam timing - if its blocked and not adjusting the timing correctly the engine will be running ineffeciently , bad burn rates

[@green-crocs-fixes1520]

OK Thanks, Fenorcity.

Good fix but that is not a sensor, it's a solenoid valve used to divert oil flow. Don't know what it does there but I have come across them many times in hydraulic systems.

Hi م س, sorry but this all that's displayed.

[@dom1982c]

That looks like a variable valve timing solenoid, not a pollution sensor.... pollution sensors are based around the exhaust

[@green-crocs-fixes1520]

Thanks Dom, but as you can see cleaning it cleared the fault.

[@87cipi]

Because oil is not clean. You must clean karter. And you can use brake cleaner for clean sensor but if oil is dirty again you will have faulty antipollution

How much would you charge to fix something like this. As well as low revs? I feel like some places over quote when a woman brings in a car.

Hi Keisha, its not just women who face inflated quotes, it could be anyone who does not understand what's involved sadly, but your not wrong. This is just a vehicle I repaired for someone and there were no other issues prior, like low Revs just the warning you see here. Most people do not or cannot afford regular service or maintenance, until something goes wrong with their vehicle 😀.
