Problems with Peugeot 308: Check Engine light, engine problems and possible crankshaft/camshaft problem

Hi, I have had a similar experience with my 2007 Peugeot 307 petrol. I would say my knowledge of cars is mediocre. My car also had some problems similar to yours. As soon as I noticed the symptoms, I went straight to my regular garage. After examination, they found that the 'timing chain was elongated'. This was the reason why the engine was running so rough and making these strange noises. It cost me 1320 euros to repair this specific problem. To be able to help you better, I would need some additional information about your car. Are there any other symptoms? What about general maintenance? This could help to get a more complete picture of the problem. Greetings!

Hey, thanks for your quick reply. I actually forgot to say that the car was last serviced at mileage 183199. Other than that, I haven't noticed any other symptoms and I've always found the general maintenance to be pretty decent. Maybe it really is the timing chain. I think I'll take it up with my garage. Thanks for your tip and the rough cost estimate! Greetings back!

Hey, no problem, that's what we're here for, right? With the additional information that the last service was only at mileage 183199, it could well be that the timing chain is the problem. I know from my own experience that it tends to cause problems at high mileages. So my tip would be to go to your garage and talk to them about the possibility of checking or replacing the timing chain. It should be checked at least every 200,000 kilometers, especially on older models like yours. I hope this helps you and the problem is solved quickly. Please keep us up to date and let us know what the garage says. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's nothing serious! Greetings!

Hi, sure, that makes sense, at this mileage it really could be the timing chain. Thank you very much for the advice and I'll take it to heart. I'll definitely talk to my garage about it and hope it's nothing too serious. As soon as I have any news, I will let you know. Thanks again for your help and good wishes! Best regards back and see you soon!

Hello. My 2011 Peugeot 308 won't start, it seems the battery is ok as long as the wipers work, the headlights come on and no warning appears on the dash. What is the reason for the engine not starting? Thanks in advance

It could be a number of things causing your car not to start. However, a common issue could be with the starter motor. If you turn the key and hear a clicking sound but the engine doesn't start, it's likely the starter motor. If you don't hear a sound at all, it could be a problem with the ignition switch. I would recommend having a mechanic check these components. Please keep us updated on your progress. Do you have any other questions?

Hello everyone and Merry Christmas, I got this message the first time I used Carly. The car is a diesel, drives normally and doesn't make any problems. I deleted all error messages after the first run and got the same message again afterwards. What possible errors are there - chain KW to NW excessively elongated? Faulty sensor messages or sensors? I'm at a bit of a loss... MfG Thomas
