Peugeot 207 camshaft sensor issue
Summary of the thread
A 2007 Peugeot 207 diesel with 153,000 km is experiencing starting difficulties and reduced engine power, with a diagnostic tool indicating a camshaft sensor error. The issue could stem from the camshaft sensor or its wiring, but it's advised to also check the crankshaft position sensor. Ultimately, the problem was resolved by replacing the camshaft sensor connector, restoring the car's performance.

Timing? I haven't seen anything specific about that, just the camshaft sensor. The crankshaft... where exactly is that located? Is it easy to get to on the 207?

The crank sensor is usually near the crankshaft pulley. It's a pain to reach on the 207 without the right tools. Honestly, if you're not seeing obvious damage to the wiring and you're not 100% comfortable, it might be worth getting it looked at by a workshop. Could save you a bigger headache, trust me.

Cheers for the advice! Ended up taking it to a shop, and you were spot on. It was indeed the camshaft sensor connector. New connector, and car's running sweet. Cost me 95€, not too bad!

I had similar issues with my 207. Camshaft position sensor can cause all sorts of mayhem – rough idling, even stalling. Before replacing the sensor itself, double-check the crankshaft position sensor too. Are you getting any other codes related to timing?
