Peugeot:Citroen 1 6 HDi EGR Valve and Boost Issue fix

Fixing a 2007 Peugeot 307 1.6 HDi which was not running right. It arrived here in limp home mode unable to rev above 3000rpm and very slow on the open road.
There was no engine management light but plugging in diagnostic equipment a fault code ‘P0401 Air circuit quantity of air measured higher than the reference value’ was shown.
Using google to look into this issue most results allude to the EGR valve not working correctly. It was worthwhile having a look at the EGR valve.
Any decent diagnostic equipment such as Peugeot planet or other universal machines can read live data to see if the EGR valve is opening and closing this one was not. Also doing an actuator test to operate the EGR valve made no clicking noise indicating a potential issue with the EGR valve which meant it was worth removing the part to inspect it.
This lack of boost can be caused by a number of things the turbo actuator, the boost solenoid or the vacuum pipe joining the two. The easiest thing to check is turbo actuator by removing the vacuum pipe going to it, pulling the actuator arm back and putting a finger over the vacuum pipe inlet on the actuator. If it holds in position and only releases when the finger is removed then it is ok. If it creeps forward while the finger is holding the vacuum inlet there could be a leak, also if it doesn’t spring forward instantly when the finger is removed then the internal spring has went bad.
The next thing to check is the vacuum line between the boost solenoid and the turbo actuator. The boost solenoid is at the back of the engine in a rather hard to see place, but tracing the vacuum line back from the turbo actuator to the solenoid i could feel it was broke. Removing the vacuum line confirmed this. It was cheaply replaced with a new length of vacuum line/injector leak off pipe. It did involve working somewhat blind to get the pipe over the boost solenoid but once the boost solenoid and turbo actuator were connected the turbo actuator was moving the wastegate as it should and the car was running much better. Initially there was quite a cloud of black smoke as the turbo was boosting properly for the first time in quite a while. However after a few minutes the smoke cleared and now the car is driving very well.
All in a new EGR valve cost £50, a length of vacuum line cost less than £5 so this car which was close to being condemned for scrap is now driving as it should. It is problems like these that some simply dismiss as french shite however rather than being so dismissive over a problem actually taking an analytical look at the issue is much more productive and can keep a perfectly serviceable car on the road for a while longer. It also means that if you see one of these cars for sale cheap with this sort of problem consider buying it because it is a cheap and easy fix.

I've been looking for a video like this and yours is the clearest one I've been able to find. I have a 2008 Citroen 1.6 HDi and the engine layout looks almost identical to yours. The depollution system has been a source of never ending grief for 10 years now. I had the EGR replaced two years ago and it cost $1200. That's about what the car is worth now. Your video has given me the confidence I need to tackle the EGR replacement. If I "F" it up, the car was on its last legs anyway.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi there, Sorry to hear about your troubles, That is a shocking cost to replace the EGR valve, i am assuming it was through a dealer. The owners clubs for these cars are generally quite good, ebay has plenty of lexia/diagbox dongles available from home diagnostics and they are generally quite easy to keep running DIY. Hope that you get it sorted soon and that it gives reliable service.

[@garysheppard4028]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV Thanks. Yes, It has been an expensive car to maintain. I've always got it serviced through the dealer and it costs 2X-3X what my wife's mazda costs to service. I talked to the dealer yesterday and because he replaced the EGR valve recently he will do me a deal to clean it for only around $300. I have made an appointment to take it in tomorrow. I thought about doing it myself but if I can get it done for 300 I'll save myself the trouble. The car only needs to last util February as we have just ordered a new Mitsubishi Triton and I will ditch the Citroen then. I notice the Triton has its EGR valve on top of the engine so If it ever blocks I can easily service it myself. Cheers, Gary

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

@@garysheppard4028 Im guessing from the fact you mention mitsubishi triton and mention dollars you are in either australia or new zealand? The PSA dealers over there would probably be expensive, is it fair to say support would not be the best over there? Generally as far as diesels go PSA are one of the better companies still making them, its a close call between them and VW. I have persoanlly always had PSA cars and with this channel will naturally levitate towards them. There is a good enough level of knowledge out there when it comes to DIY repairs, the engines can clock up big mileages, have a look on copart some of the berlingo 1.6 HDi's over 500k miles just through regular servicing.

[@garysheppard4028]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV Correct. I am in Australia. I have to say that the Citroen dealer I go to here is extremely good. No problems there at all. Always super helpful and knowledgeable. But owning a car that is out of the "mainstream" means that economies of scale don't apply and service and parts are consequently expensive. I agree with you that Citroens can be reliable cars. But when things go wrong - like with the continual depollution faults with my vehicle- when you are outside of their home territories they can be a bit of a nightmare. Having said that, some of the loaner cars that the dealer gives me when mine is in for repairs have 300,000+ K's on them and they run beautifully. But belonging to a repair shop helps there. I love my Citroen when it's running properly. Smooth, adequate power, comfortable, well appointed interior. It makes my wife's Mazda 2 feel like a little tin box. But it makes financial sense to ditch the Citroen and keep the Mazda. Just from a maintenance point of view. It seems to be a much simpler car to maintain, annual services cost around 1/3 of the Citroen and the engine design is easier to work on. Same with the Triton. More accessible and cheaper to maintain. Fords, Toyotas, Mazdas, Hyundais, Kias etc. They are the common cars here. Citroens, Peugeots and other similar European brands just haven't got to "critical mass" and remain vey niche. Merc, VW and BMW are fairly common but Merc & VW have the customer support from hell and BMW is nightmarishly expensive when it goes wrong. Different strokes for different folks :-)

[@mufasa238]

I can suggest something. If your line is not the issue, you can check your electrovanne or the final boss, the variable geometry of the turbo (my case). it can be glaude with time and exhaust gas. you have to disassemble the turbo, clean the exhaust side (all the palm and mechanism) then reassemble in order. Tricky job but enjoyable.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Very true, the variable vanes of some of the turbos think its the 110bhp version, as the lower powered engines use a simpler turbo. The vanes are prone to sticking due to carbon buildup. Thanks for the suggestion.

By the way, I have a question about a 2007 Citroen C4 1.6 HDI 109 Hp i am about to buy; it has 197.000 km on the counter, but has been serviced well, but the seller (who is a police man and an honest guy) told me that the tip of the oil dip stick recently broke off and is now swimming around in the internals of the motor. Can this piece lead to any potentially serious problems..?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi there, 197,000 km is 122,000 miles. My own C4 is currently on 138,000 miles and runs fine. Servicing is key, if serviced there is no reason why they cant do over 200,000 miles or more. The dipstick breaking is quite common, i think they can run ok with it at the bottom of the sump but i personally would be removing the sump to extract the bits. Not a massive job, drain the oil, remove a handful of bolts around the sump, remove the sump, extract the dipstick. Clean all up and install a new seal or gasket.

Hi I do not know the OE number for the vacuum hose, i bought some replacement vacuum hose from the motor factors and cut it to length. The video here hopefully shows what was disassembled to replace the hose, the odd part where getting a camera in was a tad difficult but its reasonably easy to reach. The waste-gate is open at idle as the turbo does not need to produce boost under that particular time.

[@crpth1]

Adding to what was already said. It's worth checking under the car. Between a leaking EGR and a leaking PCV (on the top of the head). Usually creates a major mess all over the engine, all the way to the bottom part. On my latest project that's precisely what happened. Previous owner didn't address the issue on time, so the entire engine was covered in black soot. The sump can be scraped with a putty knife! That gives a pretty good image of how bad it can turn if left unattended! On metal parts "white spirit" can be used, BUT do not let it touch any plastic or rubber components. It's an extremely efficient solvent, but it will destroy all rubber components with the same efficiency. So do not use it on those parts. Cheers

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

@@crpth1 The PCV is that the intake pipe that clips onto the side of the rocker cover, a lot of them seem to leak around there. Seen quite a few also with a lot of soot around the injectors its worth checking the tightness of the clamp bolts that hold down the injector as the carbon that blows past a loose injector is a real nuisance to deal with.

[@crpth1]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV - Absolutely. Usually the PCV leak is easily corrected with a new (and very cheap) O-ring. The rocker cover leakage with a new rubber gasket. On my latest project a new gasket set me back about 16€! Surely not the end of the world even for a cheapskate like me. LOL 😂 About the injector clamps I believe it's worth a word of caution! I've seen this to many times. People go ape with it and thigh does bolts like there's no tomorrow... Than, really bad things happen! Anyone reading this. PLEASE make use of your best torque wrench and go "by the book". Remember no gasket, in this world, will work better when overtightened. In fact it will be destroyed! It's that simple. ;-) With this said, in an outstanding large number of cases, the soot around the injectors come from the PCV and the rocker cover leakage!! Nothing to do with the injectors seal/clamps! This will take many by surprise! Do to how simple (and cheap) it is to fix. Too many are paying for new injector seals work, when the "culprit" is just right beside, hiding in plain sight! Cheers

​@@RN_SX Hi, i would hit the owners clubs/forums with what info you have and ask questions there. I generally do that if i have this sort of issue, by the time i make a video its after a fair bit of questions and Googling. There will be oil that drips out when you remove the turbo inlet pipe, thats completley normal on most diesels, Crankcase vapours are contributing to this. Excess blue smoke would be caused if your turbo was on the way out. I dont know what the boost pressure should be for your specific turbo, thats very much a question for the owners clubs. A more general thing i would say to check is the play in the turbo shaft when the engine is off. Feel it with a finger it should be fairly tight, with minimal movement off its central axis. Any excess movement would indicate the bearings that support the shaft are worn which would be cause for a new turbo. Another thing to check is that the wastegate or variable vane actuator operates. A vacuum pump can be used to actuate it without the cars controls, check to see if its moving smoothly again with the car off. If there are any areas in its travel where it binds or gets stiff then that might be something to investigate.

What a ball ache to have to remove all that to get to egr valve, I have Volvo with same engine and so much easier

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

It is true in some cars the engine bay is a bit more conventional such as on the C5 and 407 which makes this job considerably larger. You cant even say the added hassle is worth it for the svelte looks of the 307 haha but that cab forward design is what they went for and the scuttle panel ends up covering the back of the engine.

@@peugeotCitroen2CV hi, wonder if you can help me with an issue with mine, I've cleaned the egr valve and all was fine for a few days then symptoms came back, car will often hesitate a little until I put foot down a little more then all ok again. Also I keep getting soot around the turbo area now and then, any ideas what could be causing this?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

@@kevr4698 ? It may have sooted up again, what condition was the pipe that leads to the EGR valve in? Soot around the turbo, was it ever replaced or is there a gasket on its way out?

@@peugeotCitroen2CV my knowledge is limited, just a DIY mechanic, gonna check everything over when we get some dry weather, only owned the car 3 month. I did notice once when I disconnected the electrical connector to egr for a couple of days I didn't notice build up of soot from turbo, coincidence? 🤔

Only peugeot can make it so difficult. No brains

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

When sitting down to design the car the ease of removing an EGR valve 10 years after it has been produced does not sit at the top of their priorities. Its not even the worst to get at compared to some other manufacturers. Its not really that difficult either, i was there i even recorded a video of it.

@@peugeotCitroen2CV he should be happy i have seen alot worse and u even have to change the EGR cooler aswell and move the particle filter to reach all bolts. this is nothing . and so many complain about french cars ar e bad etc, but i should say german cars are much worse. i have had a few citroens and peugots and i have done less work on them than friends volvo ww audi bmw cars. IF i buy a new car it wiyll be a new citroen . o have an 2012 C5 now . and done all service and the few repairs on it my own and saved alot. for example changeing cam axle belt or what its call at a company should cos me around 900 euro i made the job myself in less than 2 hour for 120 euro . so reading up guides like this and do the work urself saves alot of money . and french cars are not that bad to work with

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

@@mathiasternstrom4173 I think the 1.6 tdi golf requires the subframe and turbo to come out to get to the egr. So yep these hdi engines are not too bad to work on.

WELLDONE...VERY HELPFUL...THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO...MAKING A VIDEO ABOUT REPLACING THE VACCUM LINE , WILL BE HELPFUL TOO..

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT The vacuum line hopefully its clear enough in this video, access in there for getting a clear view on camera is limited but the solenoid is around the back of the engine the pipe is connected there and runs to the turbo, avoid any hot surfaces or moving items such as drive belts or driveshafts.
