Peugeot 1007 ABS and Steering Issue

Thanks for the quick reply! I did check the tire pressures, and one was noticeably lower than the others, but not flat. I couldn't spot any obvious punctures, but I'll take another look. Did your issue end up being a simple puncture, or something else entirely? And did you experience the ABS light issue as well?

My problem turned out to be a defective valve in the tire, causing a slow leak. Didn't see it at first glance either. And yes, the ABS light also came on after a while, I guess due to the pressure difference between the wheels. I'd say, get the tire properly checked for leaks at a workshop. A tiny nail or a faulty valve can be easily missed. Cost me around 280€ to get it sorted.

That's exactly the kind of insight I was hoping for! Sounds like a trip to the tire shop is in order. I appreciate you sharing your experience; it's given me a much clearer direction to go in. Indeed, it was a valve causing the issue!

That sounds rough! I had a similar issue with my Peugeot 1007. Got the low tire pressure light, but no other symptoms at first. Eventually, the steering got heavy. Did you check the tire pressures manually? Sometimes those sensors can be flaky. Have you inspected the tires closely for any punctures, even small ones? A slow leak can trigger all sorts of weirdness.
