Peugeot 307 XSI Electrics

[markfc]

Hi All,

After swapping my beloved 206cc for a 307 XSI, you won't believe the problems I've had with it. Check this out ;

• September 2002
On picking up the card from the garage, I find that it has no Arm Rests and No Carpet Mats which we’re supposed to come with the car. I also have a message on the dashboard indicating that the ESM/ASR is not responding.
• October 2002
Whilst driving along a busy dual carriage way, all the dials on the dashboard stop working. After a few minutes they reinitialise themselves.
• January 2003
New message on dashboard Anti Pollution Fault.
• February 2003
Car Battery completely discharges itself. Peugeot Assistance we’re called and the battery recharged. Anti Pollution Fault reoccurs.
• March 2003
Anti Pollution Fault reoccurs.
Drivers side windows will not close. As it reaches the top of the car door it immediately lowers itself.
• April 2003
Anti Pollution Fault reoccurs.
• June 2003

• August 2003

• March 2004
After returning from my holiday I took the car to Drivers of Prestatyn as arranged in order for the problems to be fixed once and for all. I was told they had reinitialised all the adapters again. Everything ran well again until;
• April 2004
On Monday 6th April less than a month after it was fixed, the Car is now worse than ever. The car was fine on the way to work, then on the way home as soon I started the car, I was presented with a selection of error messages on the display, Anti-pollution Fault, Catalytic Converter Fault and one other message which I can’t see as the display is now flicking between all these messages to fast. The engine light is flashing, there is a constant beeping and the Car is now also misfiring. I drove immediately to Drivers of Prestatyn and asked for the Chief Engineer to witness the state of the car. He was most unhelpful and was unable to guarantee a day to fix it or a courtesy car.
• May 2004
Car Battery completely discharges itself. Peugeot Assistance we’re called and the battery recharged. Anti Pollution Fault reoccurs.

What a huge list of problems one after the other.

Doesn't really inspire confidence in the brand whatsoever!

Don't blame you and it makes me think I should get rid of mine too once the warranty expires.

Defo, I'm worried as the warranty runs out in september.

don't know what to do as I can't sell it like it is, the buyer would come back and lynch me!

sounds like a bsi problem? van plus not shutting down maybe,causing battery to goflat,which in turn puts on anti pollution fault cause battery charge is low?
either that or you have some serious gremlins goin on with your car. did you say it was a cc?

[markfc]

hi, thanks for your replies, no, it's a 307 XSI

It's had three new BSI's, two new batteries after the Peugeot Technical team came up from coventry to look at it. This still hasn't fixed it.

[reap]

yup you got some serious gremlins going on in your car,do feel for you.
