2009 Peugeot 4007 2.2 HDi 156 FAP – Workshop Service & Repair Manual

Comprehensive 2009 Peugeot 4007 2.2 HDi 156 FAP 4WD Manual Diesel SUV FAQ Guide: Solutions for Common Problems

• My 2009 Peugeot 4007 2.2 HDi FAP has a DPF warning light on. How can I get it to regenerate properly?

  Oh dear, a DPF light can be a bit concerning! For your 2009 Peugeot 4007, try what's called 'passive regeneration' first. You'll want to take it for a good drive, maybe 20-30 minutes, keeping your engine revs around 3,000-3,500 RPM. This usually means consistent speeds on a motorway or open road.

  The high exhaust temperature helps burn off the soot. Remember, this model uses Eolys fluid, so ensure your additive reservoir isn't empty, as that's key for effective regeneration. If the light stays on, it might need a professional forced regeneration.

• What are the common signs of a failing dual mass flywheel in my 2009 Peugeot 4007 2.2 HDi Manual?

  The dual mass flywheel on a manual diesel like your 4007 can indeed cause some headaches. You might notice a few things:

  • A clunking or rattling noise from the gearbox area, especially when turning the engine off.
  • A noticeable vibration through the cabin, often felt when idling or under slight load.
  • The clutch pedal might feel heavier than usual or have a "hitting" sensation.
  • You might also experience a "jittering" or less-than-smooth take-off when releasing the clutch. These are good indicators to get it checked out!

• My 2009 Peugeot 4007 2.2 HDi seems to be losing power and idling rough. Could it be the EGR valve, and can I clean it?

  Yes, those symptoms could definitely point to a clogged EGR valve in your 4007. Carbon buildup is quite common in diesel engines, causing rough idling, reduced power, and sometimes even the check engine light.

  For a thorough clean, it's best to remove the valve if you're comfortable. You can then use a dedicated EGR cleaner or a strong solvent to scrub away the carbon deposits. Be careful with gaskets! If cleaning doesn't help, or if the valve is physically damaged, a replacement would be the next step to restore smooth running.

• My 2009 Peugeot 4007 is experiencing random electrical glitches, like warning lights and window issues. Is there a simple reset I can try?

  Oh, electrical gremlins can be so frustrating! For random issues in your 4007, a BSI (Body Systems Interface) reset is a common first step. Here's a general way to try it:

  1. Make sure all doors are closed and the key is out.
  2. Disconnect the car battery for about 15 seconds.
  3. Reconnect the battery.
  4. Without opening any doors, turn on your side lights through the window.
  5. Turn the ignition on for 10 seconds, then off, then remove the key.

  Hopefully, this helps clear things up!

• I've heard about crankshaft oil seal failures in the 2.2 HDi engine. How does this affect the clutch in my 2009 Peugeot 4007 Manual?

  That's a really good question to ask about your 4007, as it's a known issue! If the crankshaft oil seal starts to fail, engine oil can unfortunately leak onto your clutch components. When the clutch plates get contaminated with oil, they lose their friction, making the clutch slip.

  You might notice the engine revving but the car not accelerating as it should, or a burning smell. This kind of contamination usually means both the seal and the clutch will need replacing, and it's quite a big job, as the gearbox has to come out. Best to address it promptly!
