Why'd ya go brand new?
Where'd you get it from and how much?
Few reasons, it's 9 years old and it's smokey and a bit down on power in my opinion which seems to coincide with the checks which showed the swirl flaps don't seem to be working.
So instead of cleaning it out I decided to go brand new and have the egr cleaned too.
In Poland i paid roughly 240e delivered for the pierburg version.
Seeing as I'm putting a new belt on the car it made sense to kill two birds with one stone as the belt has to come off to do the manifold.
I'm hoping this will give the engine much cleaner air circulation which will give me better consumption and combustion.
That should last me a good while and then maybe in the future I'll look at a complete egr and dpf delete.
I'm actually giving it quite a service all being said.
New manifold, new belt pump and tentioners. Flushing the old steering fluid out and putting fresh one in.
New gearbox and rear diff oil so smoother gear changes.
Cleaned out egr and I'm going to ask them to replace all filters with fresh engine oil and new coolant.
About 2 days work I'd say0 -

Right, it feels like forever since I posted in here, and truth be told it has been about 3 months. Why the break? Well, I now own a car that requires fuel once a week, and just always works. Its unheard of in my world, especially coming off the back of an Alfa that took 5 attempts to get from Cork City to Macroom!! The mighty 207, or Blue Lightning as its known as Pugsel was a bit naff sounding, has been immense. Get in, turn on, drive, enjoy. Simples. In the 3.5 months now with the car, I've clocked up over 4000 miles, been through fields, did a gravel stage of a Forest Rally, been on all kinds of back lane and bye way and not a beat has been missed. I did manage to pull the splitter off one day with the help of a steep grass mound, but even that was a clip back on job. I did treat her to a proper compound polish a few weeks ago, but bar running costs (hard to beat the 48mpg figures) not a penny more has been spent on the car. Perhaps its sensibility setting in slowly, but I drive to work every morning with the JBL sound system doing its thing, the cover pulled back on the glass roof and enjoying the leather buckets. Thats not to say I've had moments of weakness. I was very close to pressing the button to buy carbon fiber S2000 wing mirrors at one point, and GTi bucket seats another day, but both times I just copped myself on....for now anyway.
As for the other voiture, the Puglet has led a quiet life of late. Its spent the last 5 months tucked up in the shed, probley getting out twice in that time. I pulled the finger out and sourced a second hand wing from Eastern Europe to replace a damaged one, and get it fitted using a head torch the night before the local vintage festival. Turns out that burnouts on grass and popping the exhaust (a full ex-rally straight through) doesn't go down well, and we may have been encouraged to leave :-O I feel bad having the car lying idle, so current plan is that its new keeper is coming to collect my baby next Friday, but fear not, another rickity old Peugeot is already lined up and waiting ;-)
