2002 HDi - Anti Pollution Fault - jodio
Hi

I have a 2002 Peugeot 307 hdi, which is having problems starting along with the message Anti Pollution fault (always when starting) popped to the local garage and he said something about fluid needing changing and that only peugeot dealers can do this he also warned me it was mega expensive - can anyone clarify the problem a bit more for me ? and also give me an idea of how much it will cost? and if theres anyway around peugeot not having to do it as I know it will cost the earth through them?

any help would be greatly appreciated

Jodi

You garage is talking baloney.

"Anti-pollution" fault is just a generic warning that there's a problem and there's a code stored; so you need to get the codes read [by anyone with the right equipment] to ascertain which of several thousand fault-codes it is.

That may give you some idea of the underlying problem - and it isn't an additive issue. Bad starting on an HDi is usually low fuel-pressure from a pump or injector problem.

Come back with the exact code numbers and we'll know a lot more.

Hi Thanks for your prompt response,

so can any garage read that code or is it best to get peugeot to do it?
