Peugeot 3008 1.6 turbo petrol, P0299 and P2261 no power and limp mode. Fault finding and repair. 

No fuel most of the time when customer bring the car in. Here in my place is the same thing. Exspecialy when the car needed some more test driving. But if the fuel tank have to be drop, then the fuel tank will be full. 😆 Thank you for the video Luis. 👍

What a nightmare! Thankfully you persevered until all issues resolved. Well done for an excellent job!

Wish every country to have smart people like you that's showing us how the thing's work :) thank you mate and wish you happy day's

As a home Mechanic find your videos helpful and informative thanks

Excellent video Luis. I like your honest work. U so lucky with customer who understand the problem is normally not just 1 issue. Excellent result well done.

Now that's a good repair video :). Loved it. Thanks !

I have the same problem with my 308 turbo, same engine. See your video give me some ideas to check. Thank you very much. 👍🏻

There were some things I wanted to write but in the end you did a fine job Luis and didn´t change anything that wasn´t necessary . The non comm with the ECU was a bit strange but than again , it has happened to me also . With a charger connected weird things and with a new battery all OK . Never second guessed it .

good job, under difficult conditions, and no wasted money is a bonus, working nights as well ... respect man

Luis perfect Job. Thanks for your Video, all good for you and your Family.

Thanks for the video gives me lots of hint .i really appreciate your effort 👌 well done

Hi mate, nice video. Exhaust gas pressure check procedure helps to diagnost a bad cat. But this time camera make a good job. Thanks for video. Marius.

Great work !! As always appreciate you taking the time to make these videos 👍🏻

great job ,as always. keep up the great work

LUIS, AWESOME video and information fixing this car with logic step by step one thing as i do always with turbo problems/ boost power i use smoke machine to check for any leaks first with all the plastic they are using those days as u know they crack with time and other thing it was good to see fuel trims pids that would show 100% lean mixture because of that leaks as always enjoyable to see the master working thanks for sharing brother. cheeeeers

Thank you for another great video!!!

Great content as always

Thanks a lot for the video I have same problem with my car 3008 1.6 thp 2011

You're right. When the cover fails it blocks the exhaust. These engines are turds. Always seems to be same scenario though, knackered battery, no fuel, no love care and attention. Tight owners.

I am not a mechanic but removing and putting the hose back in place is normal. Charging the breakage is ok for me. But very kind of you. That's

One of tree things is check cat. Put hand on exhaust, if is cold, cat is 90 % block. I made tool for this. Manometer, pipe and fit. O2 sensor out and put tool. On high rpm, about 3000, presure must be under 0,3 bar.

Hello louis, good job, in diagnostic we should know the basics of mechanic 😊😊,

Good job

Low fuel🤣🤣🤣. Good vid and fix👍

Dud battery, no fuel, no road tax. Yep, that sounds about right! Nevertheless, good outcome :D

one thing I have seen a few times now with the THP prince engine that is a easy fix but hard to find and the symptoms are very similar to this the air pipe to the throttle body pushes itself off and because it is held in place by the bolts on the plastic part of the pipe every thing seems to be ok until the turbo kicks in and pushes the pipe away from the throttle body

Peugeot/Citröen needs extra love. Anyways, down pipe is life. Remove that catalytic crap.

👏 Well done, there good cars if looked after

The catalytic converter can be cleaned. Usually the companies that sell replacement catalytic converters want the original part back to re-manufacture it most likely.

Good work.thank you.wondering why that ecu significant blocked exthaus system instead of turbo preassure?there are 2 sensors on cat in and out to measure that but no any fault code.if you put filters like dpf,cat,egr onto exthaus systems that will reduce engine power in long therm usage 2x2=4

Been looking at the wife's 3008 thp as it seemed to be down on power. Just a heads up, the diverter valve is a weak point and the bmw mini one fits, is cheaper and stronger too! Handy! The rear pcv can be blocked with a Peugeot part as they realised that the breather causes massive carbon build up. I'll be checking the cat tomorrow though as she only does 5 miles a day commute..... Awesome video and thanks!

I think that battery would cause the system to go haywire what was that broken off thing for

I have a citroen c4 loeb eith same error foult. No power too rich mixture.Well the next step is to take the catalyst out and replace it.

any ideas about p2192 code?

Awesome video, thank you so much, I have Peugeot 208 GTI with same engine, I have a similar issue but if I switch the car off and return to it after some time it runs perfect for about 5 mins and then I feel a loss of power. Have the same code p0299. It has only 28k so cat shouldn’t blocked. Any ideas would be appreciated it.

Oven cleaner , works all the time!

Thank you for the very informative video. I have a 207 turbo with the p0299 error code after revving more than 3500 rpm for 3 seconds. I have checked vacuum, changed the electric valve. How can I check if I need to replace the valve cover? Is it possible to verify if the valve cover have failed?

My Peugeot rcz is having the same problem now. My first guess is to change the air intake since it's somehow damaged. I think I might have to check the CAT too. How much did the client spend in total?

Just a thought how come the rear lambda sensor didn't report any fault code for Cat like (P0420) code any idea...?

Why such ecm don't have lean condition monitor? Cheaper production to design without a MAF? Or something else I'm missing!?

Would an overboost situation that drops the turbo until you restart the car be caused by a blocked catalytic converter? VCDS error P0234 on a 2010 VW Touran 1.9TDI BXE 105BHP engine with close to 170,000 on the clock. Turbo is on the back of the engine at the bottom and it is labour intensive just to inspect, so just trying to compile a list of possible issues. I have just had the camshaft and lifters replaced and there was a severely worn cam and a few lifters were severely worn.

You are boss $$$$$$$$

Hello sir .. i have a fiat bravo 2010 with 1.4 turbo engine .. the engine would not start before couple of days .. i tried to make it run by adding fuel remove the negative cable .. now the engine is running but the rpm wouldn't exceed 1000 revs at idle .. even the car doesn't want to move .. no dtc .. tried to change the throttle body but still i have the same problem even the turbo valve doesn't open ... And no revs .. any ideas .. does it have a bad ecu ? Thanks in advanced for any help 🙂

Quick question @lm auto repairs. Does the ecu from a pug 207 need to in the car to be reprogrammed or can I just send you it to download file for my car and reprogram? Asking here as got no reply from your forum. Thanks in advance

Can you please inform me , what kind of engine oil do you use for THP ENGINE ? Thanks

apple looks nice and clean but the worm was inside :D

Hi mate i need some help i have a laguna II ph2 2006 2.0 dci 173bhp. A mechanic deleted by mistake my injectors, I document my self on the internet and I managed to rewrite the injector codes then I had to reprogram my glow plugs and the car works flawlessly apart the black smoke that comes out from the exhaust(before it dident use to smoke at all!!) I had a look at the injectors correction data ppl say they work properly, I had a look at the egr and it's not clogged, I checked all the intercooler/air/vacuum pipes they are all ok. once the car lost power just like in one of your renault traffic videos when you press acceleration and notthing would happen but then i put it into reverse and works since then. Cand you suggest me somewhere to start looking? today I'm going to replace my MAS AIR FLOW sensor but I'd need more advice as I'm just a car enthusiast thank you in advance!!

Hi.. can egr cause low boost ...?

Did you ever have to break a door window to get into the car because the battery died

Is the oil change really exceeded by 5,600

Hi, you make nice videos. Please make shorter videos & explain the problem and possible solutions in the video description. Thank you very much.

Cat at 70.000 needs checking

Where to take time to work in night shift, repair cars and make videos for RU-vid? Do you have 25 hours in your day? 😁 Is it a secret what is your another job?

Prince engine is real royalty in maintinence cost! Bad engine design. Stay away from it in any case!

Worst modern 4cyl engine its possible to buy, Junk from day one.

Another one with no fuel and dead battery
