Help! My 307 Has Been Abducted By Aliens.

Had a few electrical gremlins with my month old 307 HDI 110 such as an
Airbag failure and incorrect operation of the Central Locking, but this
really takes the biscuit!

Driving home this evening, the information display flashed Minimum Fuel
Additive (something to do with the FAP I guess) , it then returned to normal
minus the external temp reading (--).
Fine I thought as it returned to normal only to find my windscreen wipers
wouldn't turn off. Half a mile up the road the passenger window then
decided to wind itself down, and the stop and low oil pressure indicators
started flashing randomly whilst "Airbag Fault and Low Oil Pressure" flashed
on the display intermittently.

After five minutes or so everything returned to normal, except the "Airbag
Fault" warning kept displaying itself more and more frequently with the Stop
and Low Oil Pressure lights flickering.

Having lurked around here for a while I have read about various dashboard
failures etc.. but haven't come across anything this extreme.

Does anyone know what could be the cause of this, as I thought that after 2
years Peugeot would have worked all the bugs out of this car by now?

Cheers,

Nick.

 

I'm sorry I don't have an answer, but I did enjoy your posting ;-)
Could you have the car exorcised ?
I'm not sure I'd buy a car with multiplex electrics just yet!

I've not had anything that extreme with my 307 Hdi110 but over the past few
weeks the Multi function display keeps going blank apart from the temp
display and clock even though a CD or the radio are playing. I have to
switch the unit off and then on again to make it work properly.

I got out of the car on Friday and the Display panel stayed illuminated
despite having turned the lights off and locked the car.

All very strange......

The mystery continues

 

Yup, I've had that one as well.

central computer unit called BSI is dead...(or in your case..is dying )


replace at dealer...

 

ore in any case maybe faulty connected.... i had my pug workshop just
now on the line and they found some debris in the multiconnector to
the ecu, this caused my gremlins
also had to renew the hand brake switch and the water level sensor (
salt!!!)

maybe reconnecting the ecu might just solve your problems

which will end you your married live....

 

Hello,

I'd disconnect battery, then BSI (should be lying around the fuse box if
it's like on a 206), then replug BSI and battery, ignition on for 10s at
least (from mux'd 206 handbook : if you disconnect battery or have a flat
battery, put ignition on for at least 10s before attempting to start the
engine, to let the electronic systems recalibrate themselves), then start.
Last try : ask for a BSI replacement & software update &/or ask them to plug
the Diag2000 on it to test for a wiring fault.

 

It's in the sick bay at the mo. I haven't asked them yet, but I reckon
they are going to change the BSI as they asked me for my spare key as they
said it wouldn't work again otherwise.

Nick.

 

you also need that when updating the bsi software

 

Got car back today!

New BSI due to water ingress, but has to go back for a new Gearbox and
suspension components in three weeks.

Whaddya think group, can I reject the car? It's only 5 weeks old.
