If you Google the codes you get Cam sensor for the first and MAF for the second. If as you say still OK after 5k miles I would ask the service Manager for an explanation. You might want to find a more helpful dealer. I believe your engine is common to Citroen and Renault

First thoughts are that as this is a modern engine in a young car, a Peugeot dealer would be the first place i'd go when the warning light came on. Also, i would always use the dealeship for servicing at least until the warranty is up, if for no other reason than to maximise the chances of a 'goodwill gesture' should something like this happen.

These engines are generally regarded as being very reliable, though there have been a couple of related threads in the not too distant past,

Finally, it is not wise to assume the car to be reliable (or indeed good) simply because it has come from Motability. You need to do the same research in advance to find out if the car has any 'known' issues (admittedly not in this case), and the same checks of the cars themselves in terms of condition and maintenence. Motability cars may well be serviced in accordance to the manufacturers recommendations, but i can assure you it will be the absolute minimum.

Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately for me the Warranty expired before I purchased the car. I have the full service history for the car and at the time of purchase it appeared to have had its final warranty service done in April. Once this problem occurred I realised on closer inspection that the car was only put through an MOT in April and not serviced by Motability. All servicing to that date had been carried out by a Peugeot dealer in London

Peugeot engines (most of them) have a good reputation. French electrics in general don't.

There must at least be a chance that it's the in-car computer that's at fault.

Yes, that's my current thinking. But I am getting no help from my local Peugeot dealer. I have asked them (via email) about the ECU update which I have seen talked about but still await thier reply.

I always say, main dealer service in warranty + the next 1 and you have a chance of "Goodwill"

so if 3 year warranty, 3 services while in warranty and next 1 for potential goodwill...

That is also why it is useful to have the actual service invoices too as well as the service booklet.

Do you know what oil your personal mechanic used? He might have just used oil from his standard 5W-30 barrel rather than the 0W-30 oil this engine needs, giving Peugeot an excuse not to extend any goodwill. Peugeot has no responsibility whatsoever for this car other than safety related defects and as you bought through BCA, there is no dealer for you to go back to.

I think he has used 5W30 but I'm sure the Service booklet says to use 0W30 or 5W30. But anyway, this was after the fault occurred. 0W30 had been used in it up until then.

Thanks for your input.

I had the same issue with my 2015 1.2 308 EAT6 at just under 31000.

The two fault codes you've been given are:

P1032 66 Self-ignition before spark (Rumble) (Low incidence) : Frequency too high

P3060 66 Knock detector : Frequency too high

There is a TSB that covers these codes that has multiple steps to diagnose the issue and only if the engine fails a compression test (or a different code is logged) does the engine need to be replaced.

Mine turned out to be the inlet ports/valves were coated in carbon and had to cleaned using a blasting device made by Tunap that fires small pellets to dislodge the carbon.

The initial diagnosis by my local dealer does mention that they found

'high leakage percent' on No. 3 cylinder but they wouldn't explain what that meant or what was causing it. The only solution they offerred was a new engine was required.

When it goes BANG! and stops, then I might believe them.

Thanks for your input.

For anyone interested (and you're probably not! ??),

O -o-o-oh yes I am - we have a 1.2 130 in a 2008.

I had my car repaired today.... .....Turns out the valves were badly coked and needed a major decoke. For this they bought in a special tool from Germany and had it fixed in no time.

VW/Audi TFSI engines were renowned for this - I thought a different design of these direct injection engines had cured the problem. What exactly was the special tool? Which power engine is it? I haven't heard of many 1.2 puretechs afflicted by this problem. Had it spent most of its life being 'driven carefully' at no more than 2500 revs? Does regular use of the whole rev range prevent carbon build up? I hope so! I presume for that price it was a head off job?

Hi Andre

Would you be able to share the independent garage details you used please?

I am in the same situation and need engine decoke for my Peugeot 3008.

Many Thanks

Regards

Andy

My 2016 Puretech 130 powered 308 has just had to have the inlet valves decoked at 34k miles.

Full Peugeot main dealer sevice history plus Peugeot extended warranty - which flatly refused to pay for it.

Jerky throttle between 3k & 4k rpm.

Fault - Rumble pre ignition, inlet valves are clogged & code P1032 stored leading to TSB.

Peugeot UK at first not interested, myself plus main dealer both made a fuss & eventually Peugeot UK agreed they would pay for it 100%.

Mentioning known design fault with direct injection petrol engines & I only bought it due to 4 engine of the year awards seemed to work.

It will be my last PSA product, had 5 Peugeot vehicles over 22+ years but I won't have anything else from PSA in future.

I feel your pain, Ben, but unless you can be sure that your legal expenses will be low, you need to ask yoursefl whether legal action is really worth the hassle.

Your car was 3 years old when you bought it, and the fauilt didn't appear until you'd had it for 9 months. Is Peugeot's offer to pay half all that unreasonable?

Bear in mind that although the mileage was just right for a 3-year-old car, that mileage could for all you know have included being driven by a rev-happy learner (or their equally rev-happy granny). It could have been a mummy-wagon which was sometimes caned without mercy by mummy's eldest. Nobody knows.

Not your fault - but not Peugeot's either.

A 2016 built Puretech engine should be on the generation 2 cambelt - these don't suffer rubber breakdown & clog the oilways like the 1st generation ones but they are slightly wider & the edges can start to fray if they happen to catch the covers while running.

New generation 3 belt is current solution.

Had my JZR safety recall letter drop through the letter box this morning.

Upshot is the timing belt replacement interval is now reduced down to 6 years or 62500 miles whichever occurs first.
