Peugeot Boxer high fuel consumption hissing sound
Summary of the thread
A 2001 Peugeot Boxer with a gasoline engine was experiencing high fuel consumption, a hissing sound, and an illuminated check engine light. The suspected cause was an air intake leak. A suggestion was made to inspect the vacuum hoses, particularly the one connecting the air filter box to the throttle body, and to check the air filter. The issue was resolved by replacing the intake hose, which normalized fuel consumption, eliminated the hissing sound, and turned off the check engine light.

Thanks! Was the hissing constant, or only under acceleration? Did your check engine light come on immediately, or after a while?

The hissing was louder under acceleration. The check engine light took a little while, maybe a day or two of driving with the hissing. Honestly, get it checked at a workshop if you aren't 100% sure. The hose issue can cause other problems if ignored.

It was the intake hose! Replaced it at the workshop for 100€. Fuel consumption is back to normal, the hissing is gone, and the check engine light is off. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Hey! I had something similar with my Boxer! Same symptoms: check engine light, guzzling fuel, and that hissing. Check your vacuum hoses for splits, especially the one connecting the air filter box to the throttle body. Also, check the air filter itself.
