Black smoke and loss of power in Peugeot 307 petrol engine: suspected defective injection valve

PEUGEOT

307

| 2009 | | Gasoline

Shaking while idling

Unsteady engine

Car won't start

Check engine light on

Jerking on acceleration

Stalling while idling

Longer cold start time

Black smoke from exhaust on acceleration

Loss of engine power

Hello folks! I have a problem with my Peugeot 307 gasoline engine from 2009 with 93741KM run. When accelerating, black smoke comes out of the exhaust, the check engine light comes on and the car takes longer to start. The engine power has dropped and the engine runs rough, there is jerking when accelerating, sometimes the car won't start and stutters or jerks at idle. I assume that the problem is related to a faulty injection valve. Have any of you ever had similar problems? What have you done about it and what was your experience with the mechanic? I would be grateful for any experience and tips!

Hi. Had similar symptoms on my 2012 Peugeot 308, was pretty sure it was a faulty fuel injector but the mechanic found it was actually a plug/cable connection issue. They had to replace it and after it was done, my car ran like a dream. It wasn't as serious as I originally thought and I haven't had any more problems with it. So see if it could be that for you too! Good luck with that!

Hi, thanks for your reply! That sounds really promising. Can you remember what you paid for the repair back then? And has anything similar or different occurred since then? It would be great if you remember!

Hey, sure, no problem. The repair cost me €155 at the time. They fixed the fault with the plug/cable connection and that was it. Since then, my car has been running really well. And as far as the injection valve is concerned: after the mechanic had a look over it, there was no more problem. So far, nothing similar or different has happened, everything is perfect! Keep your fingers crossed that it works just as well for you!

Great, thank you! That reassures me a little. 155 is really not as bad as I feared. I really hope it's the same for me as it is for you. I'm off to the mechanic now to have my car checked. Thanks again, your advice has helped me a lot!

Hi, I have error code P0263 cylinder 1 on a Peugeot 308SW 1.6 HDi 82KW and would like to replace the injector first. My question, is cylinder 1 on the timing belt side (left, passenger side) or on the other side? Many thanks in advance

On a Peugeot 308SW 1.6 HDi, cylinder 1 is typically located on the timing belt side (left, passenger side). However, it's always a good idea to confirm this with your vehicle's specific manual or a trusted mechanic. After replacing the injector, please clear the error code and observe if the issue persists. Let us know how it goes. Do you have any other questions?

Hello, thanks for the information. I wanted to replace the injector but I now have a different problem. After the replacement, the injector must be coded, but unfortunately Carly does not show me a selection for coding for this vehicle. What can I do now?
