Peugeot 4007 engine power reduction

I'm having a major headache with my 2012 Peugeot 4007 gasoline. I've got 221575 km on the clock and recently the engine power has been seriously reduced. Plugged in an auto scanner and got a fault code. Could this be related to some dodgy chip tuning I had done ages ago?

Summary of the thread

An auto scanner revealed a fault code, suggesting a diagnostic check at a workshop. The issue was confirmed to be related to the chip tuning, and the problem was resolved by a mechanic.

I had a similar issue with my 4007. Have you checked the error memory using vehicle diagnostics? It could give you a better indication of the problem.

Yeah, I checked the error memory with a scan tool, and there's definitely an error stored. But it's not very specific. Did you end up needing a new chip or something?

In my case, the error stored pointed to the faulty chip tuning. I would strongly suggest having the car diagnostic performed at a workshop. They should be able to confirm if that's indeed the issue.

Thanks for the advice! Took it to a mechanic, and you were spot on – the chip tuning was causing the problem. Cost me 180€ to get it sorted!
