Peugeot 308 1.6 VTI engine temp warning after sensor replacement. DON'T CHASE GHOSTS! 

This is a great little video and reminder how easy it is to overlook the basics. I can imagine people going round in circles with this problem and probably why the car ended up at your house. Thanks for sharing with us fellow DIYers!

Hey man... Having the same problem. Came across your vid and I feel so much relieved now. Big thanks and thumbs up

Great video! Never would have thought that would have cased problems.

the global obd2 is mandatory to not display wrong readings . the factory side is allowed to display the limp home values of a temp. if the 2 differ then you trust the global obd2 side. not often is the global obd2 of more use then factory side and not often does clear codes fix anything.

Hi, i'm from cape Town and i'm having the same problem. But my peugeot technician, said that i have to change the thermostat housing and wiring loom

I'll try this tomorrow. Thanks

Had this exact problem on a 207 with same engine. Totally caught me off guard and a wiring diagram started me to suspect the ECU and wasn't untill I reset the codes I discovered this. Wonder if its a Peugeot design or other manufacturers.

It is possible that the coolant temperature sensor to leak and cause water to travel up the wiring loom to the ECU damaging wires and components in its path and the fault dont disapear and come back again and again ?

very useful piece of information, thank you for the video

Hi am from Ghana and am facing same problem. I have change the temperature sensor but the problem still exist is there another way ?

Hi, its amazing, i have exactly same temperature problem (215C). I am using the Autel 508 and i cannot clear the code. Is there another way to reset bsi? Many thanks

yea,i got 307,after i changed temp sensor,thermostate,cooling fan not turning on,i presume that only thing wich is to check,maybe relay or fan it self...

It happened to me exactly .. the plug was broken just a little bit of glue .. problem finished 😁😁 By the way the reading of the gauge is coming from the bsi not ecu directly. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge sir. Is it really raining because here we almost melt 😂😂

Nice video. You saved my day

how did they fix the problem? I replaced the thermostat, deleted the errors and the problem still didn't disappear.

Excellent tips and information,but you need to fix the video title to Peugeot 308 ,not 307 as you titled it,Thank you.

Helpful video. I like it

Thank you this helped a lot

Thank you Luis for the info. About that P0014 exhaust camshaft dephased fault code. Have you any info perhaps for that fault. I have one DS3 with 1.6 vti engine and that code constantly cames back. I look for live data and i saw that position of exhaus camshat which ecm is wanted to se is not the same with measured position. It's go off for about 3 degrees with ignition on engine not running. With engine running those two parameters goes off even more and can not folow each other, then ecm set that code and car starts to run like shit. I am not being ask for the fix for that problem. I was doing something else on this car, so i didn't go further investigate that problem. But now car comes back next week to fix that too. Sorry for off topic.😊 I saw that code on your scanner so I was thinking maybe Luis have known fix for that french crap ? 😆

Nice nuggets of info.

Listen, my friend. I have the same problem. I don't know. Where is that sensor?

Hi there im from South Africa i have a similar issue with my 308 16vti the problem is by mistake i positive probed my temp switch then was getting error code ect short to ground replaced switch cancel the code but still gauge stays in the red so i dont know what to do please help thanx in advance

NO SHIT!!!SORRY FOR THE LANGUAGE BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD DO....CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG.....

thanks for the information.

Hi sir I've tried everything and now I'm stranded kindly advise, mine does this immediately when you start it it takes like two mins then it overheats, what can be the problem, the water pump is fine, radiator is fine but immediately when I start it the temp gage goes up then it overheats immediately

I have the same problem, only occurs when temperature is under zero. If I understand well , after change coolant sensor I should remove all errors saved on computer ?

I have thr same on my peugeot 308 2009 1.6 vti petrol engine, peugeot technician want to change the thermostat housing and wiring loom. Can you suggest mer something please

thank you a lot. you show two temp 35 and 2015 °C. does this car have 2 temp. sensors

Thanks you have reliefed me

Hi I have same problem do I have to reset because I put new temperature sensor and the same problem star like you show on the video if you can tell what exactly have to do thank you

very good my brother

If you have problems with exsaust or inlet camshaft dephasing can you record and shows us how you approach such faults
