Hi guys, Does anyone know where I can find "Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor A" on my Peugeot 307 54 Reg Diesel? I've got this nasty message "Anti-Pollution Fault" Thanks, Bob Edited by Dynamic Dave on 14/08/2008 at 19:45 Reply | Report as offensive | Link

There's not an EGR sensor as such; what's the code number? Edited by Dynamic Dave on 12/08/2008 at 19:48 Reply | Report as offensive | Link

It's P0405. I've also got codes P1445, P1351 and P2408 Thanks Reply | Report as offensive | Link

P0405; EGR valve position sensor A - low signal voltage. P1351: Glow relay circuit - relay not controlled/no glow supply. P1445; Additive system - excessive quantity. P2408: Additive system - fuel tank cap presence sensor. Time for some wallet emptying at you smiling Peugeot dealer.... Reply | Report as offensive | Link

Thanks a lot for the answer. Sorry for being a pain but can you possibly answer few more questions please? Is there any chance I could add the additive myself? Also code P2408 - Does it mean that the sensor needs replacing and can i do it myself? Code P0405 - When you say "Low signal voltage" Does it mean that the contacts need cleaning? Also where is EGR valve positioned at the front or the back of the engine? Thanks a lot again, any help would be highly appreciated. Reply | Report as offensive | Link

The inference of those codes is a serious FAP/additive problem of some sort - nothing normal. Unless someone's been fiddling, it's already too full[??] so no more needed. You are going to need to become - or find - an Eolys expert to make sense of that mess. If the mileage is over 50K; you'll likely need the whole lot replacing and re-programming. Expensive; but the best move. The EGR valve should be right down the back of the engine; the code doesn't necessarily mean that it's the valve and there's not a lot you can do with one. A code doesn't mean start throwing parts at it - that way leads only to dealer profits. The cap sensor needs testing - nothing more. [I've data if you want it.] The magnets fall off the caps quite regularly too. Reply | Report as offensive | Link

Thanks for everything, you were very helpful. Is there any chance you could give me the data about the cap sensor? Cheers. Reply | Report as offensive | Link

Measured from the additive ECU; 12-15 Ohms cap off and 150K-Ohms cap on. Before you go poking around; at least learn the basics of what you're walking into:- www.psa-peugeot-citroen.com/modules/fap/anglais/in...l Reply | Report as offensive | Link

Thank you for the educational link, it really explains a lot. One more question though, would you know where the additive ECU is positioned? Cheers Reply | Report as offensive | Link

It should be under the passenger's seat. Reply | Report as offensive | Link

Sorry for being a pain. I had a look under the passenger's seat and the only unit I could find was Magnet Marell - Marwal Systems, would it be it? If yes then do you know which wires I need to look at? Thanks Reply | Report as offensive | Link
