Traveller Lean Running Engine
Summary of the thread
A 2023 Peugeot Traveller diesel is experiencing a lean running engine, indicated by a check engine light, reduced power, rough running, and jerking during acceleration. The issue may be caused by a defective injection valve or injector, though the mass air flow sensor has been checked. Suggested solutions include inspecting the fuel injectors, checking for air leaks in the intake manifold, and ensuring the oxygen sensor is functioning properly. Ultimately, the problem was resolved by replacing a faulty injection valve.

Fuel consumption seems a bit higher, but the spark plugs were replaced 20000 km ago. I used the plugs specified and checked the gap. An air leak in the intake manifold is interesting – is there a common leak area on the Traveller? Did replacing the injectors fix the issue, or were there other problems?

Okay, spark plugs are probably not the issue. My symptoms were almost identical: check engine light, rough running, and power loss. It was a faulty injector. I recommend visiting a trusted workshop to check the injectors and replace any defective ones. Replacing the injector solved the problem for me.

Thanks for the guidance! I went to a workshop, and they found the injection valve was the problem. The repair, including parts and labor, cost 515€. Thanks for sharing your expertise and saving me from a long diagnostic process!

That sounds familiar! I had a similar experience with my Traveller – though I don't remember the exact year. Did you notice any unusual fuel consumption? A lean running condition could point to the fuel injectors, but what about the spark plugs? Are they new, the correct type, and properly gapped? Could there be an air leak in the intake manifold? Or a faulty oxygen sensor? These vans are usually reliable.
