2 known faults with sources

Engines: 2.2 / 3.0 (Petrol)

Multiplex electronics, rain sensor, airbag warning and brakes on the Peugeot 607Electrical and electronic systems

Engine / equipment: Peugeot 607 petrol (2.2 and 3.0 V6)
Period mentioned: 2000–2010
Symptoms: Comfort equipment that fails; an airbag warning light that comes on for no reason; wipers stuck in manual mode; flimsy column stalks; discs and pads that wear quickly.
Possible cause described: Auto Express advises checking that all the equipment works and warns of flimsy stalks and fast brake wear due to the weight; a French reliability review cites spurious airbag warnings and rain-sensor faults, and sees no major mechanical defects on the petrols.
Check for the garage: Test all the electrical equipment; read the airbag codes; check the condition of the discs and pads.
Cost cited in the source: No verified estimate; ask the garage for a quote.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.

Engines: 2.0 / 2.2 / 2.7 HDi (Diesel)

Applies if: Only the 2.0 and 2.2 HDi.

2.0/2.2 HDi DPF, EGR, turbo and flywheelDPF / EGR / turbo / flywheel

Engine / equipment: PSA 2.0 HDi (DW10) and 2.2 HDi (DW12), including the 2.0/2.2 JTD in the Fiat Ulysse and Scudo and the Lancia Phedra
Period mentioned: 1998–2015
Symptoms: Particulate filter warning and power loss; rough idle from a dirty EGR; vibration and knocks when starting or in low gears (dual-mass flywheel); smoke or hesitation from injectors at high mileage.
Possible cause described: The engine itself is very robust, but the ancillaries are not: the DPF with Eolys additive clogs in town use, the EGR and its cooler fill with soot, the variable-geometry turbo sticks and the dual-mass flywheel wears. The 136 hp versions have more problems than the 138 to 163 hp ones.
Check for the garage: Read the DPF status and additive level, check the EGR and cooler, check the dual-mass flywheel at start-up and measure injector balance rates.
Cost cited in the source: Forced DPF regeneration: €100–150; new DPF: €800–1,500; rebuilt injector: €200–250A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.

Mileage cited in the database: 120,000–180,000 km. This is not a maintenance interval and does not predict a failure.
