Problems with Peugeot Traveller Diesel 2022: Black smoke, indicator light, bumpy engine and possible idle control fault

Hi friend, I have some experience with cars and had a similar problem with my 2020 Peugeot Expert diesel. I found that the cable/connector on the idle control valve was faulty. I took my Peugeot to the garage and pretty quickly the problem was identified. The garage replaced the cable and plug on the idle control valve and it cost me around 155 euros. Since then, my car has been running like a clock again. Could you perhaps provide a little more information about your car? Mileage, service history, etc.? Then maybe I could give you some more specific advice. I'm sure I could find out if it's the same problem as mine. Hope that helps you!

Hey, thanks for the tip! It was really helpful. Well, my Peugeot has only done 13887 kilometers so far and the last service was very recent when I bought it. No problems and no special incidents so far. I'll follow your advice and have it checked at the garage. Thanks again!

Hey, no problem, always happy to help! I'm glad to hear that my advice is helping you. With so few kilometers and a recent service, you definitely shouldn't have any major problems with your Peugeot. It's good that you have it checked quickly at the garage. A faulty idle control valve can really cause a lot of stress, but usually the repairs aren't too expensive, as you've already seen from my experience. If that's not the solution, there could also be a problem with the mass air flow sensor, the injection system or the ignition. But let the experts check that first. The main thing is that you somehow find out what's causing it. Take good care of your car and hopefully you'll get it solved quickly. Let me know if you want to know more or have any further questions, I'll be happy to help! All the best!

Dear, I would like to buy a 2019 Peugeot traveller with 161000km on the odometer, what should I look for? Kind regards Patrick

Hi Patrick, when buying a used Peugeot Traveller, you should check the service history to ensure regular maintenance has been carried out. Pay attention to the condition of the engine, transmission, and suspension. Check for any signs of excessive wear and tear or damage. Also, test drive the car to see how it performs on the road. Listen for any unusual noises and see how the car responds to acceleration, braking, and steering. If possible, have a trusted mechanic inspect the car before purchase. Do you have any other questions or concerns?

Hi, I have a Peugeot Travel 2018 and last week I came from Brasov and it didn't really pull anymore I was driving on a straight road and it was going at 110 but it has no power, it doesn't pull anymore the engine doesn't shake, it doesn't produce smoke, it doesn't produce anything at the tester it gave me a lack of DPF but it has DPF because it did a regeneration for an hour I can't figure out what's wrong with the engine it runs perfectly at idle it doesn't stop It doesn't stop but it doesn't pull anymore So suddenly it doesn't produce black smoke

Hi ClaudioVarsi, it sounds like your Peugeot Traveller might be experiencing a problem with the turbocharger, as these symptoms often indicate a lack of boost from the turbo. However, it could also be related to the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) issue that your tester indicated. Even though it has undergone regeneration, there might still be a problem. I would recommend having a mechanic inspect both the turbocharger and the DPF system to identify the exact issue. Please keep us updated on your progress. Do you have any other questions?
