Peugeot Anti Pollution Error. Fixed

Antipollution Fault Peugeot Citroen

[wp]

This solution worked for me 🎉. Thank you so much!
After the fix I needed to reset the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to clear the warning message. You can do this by disconnecting the car battery for a few minutes, then reconnecting it.

I have a Peugeot 207 1.6 VTI - the antipollution fault could be related to either a head gasket issue or ECU issue, mine appeared for a day then disappeared the day after, I believe I have a vacuum leak in the intake system somewhere causing the miss fire (the engine shuddering + shaking) the antipollution fault is caused due to a bad air/fuel mix ratio so recommended fixes are - look for vacuum leaks, inspect spark plugs (these need to be changed every few thousand miles), look at the fuel injectors (have them changed if necessary) get a mechanic to look at the coil packs too (these are known to fail on the 1.4 and 1.6 petrol engines ) if nothing else works look at the PCV valve(this is responsible for regulating the blow-by gasses in the engine and put them into the intake system if this gets clogged or stuck could cause values to be off therefore causing the fault) get this replaced if necessary, hope this helps people.

If you drive your car more likely for short distances then engine will not get hot enough to start the regenerating process to clean the cloged particulate filter resulting in a antipollution fault.

Drive your car to a motorway or empty dual carriage way (best in nights). The temperature meter should be showing above 60°C when you begin with this process. Place 3rd gear and drive your car at 3000-3500 rev /min for 15 to 20 minutes to let the ecu to kick the regeneration process. Keep driving car for 15 minutes in this state will be enough to clean your catalytic converter and your problem will be solved. But if it doesn't then the problem is with your catalytic converter and more probabily you need to change it.

This worked for me 100%

Hi, would this solenoid be roughly in the same position for a 307 2.0l petrol? Thankyou.

Where to find this sensor on the citroen c2 1.4i vtr manual petrol car and Also where is the temperature gauge for this model cause I see where the fault appears but not sure if that's the engine temperature or room temp

super vous avez trouver mon probleme merci beaucoup maintenant je cherche ou trouver cette pieces en neuve

[dimitritsolakis]

What sensor is that ? which you were removing to clean with syringe and degreaser 😁

[fenorcity]

thats a VVT valve - hydraulic valve to adjust cam timing - if its blocked and not adjusting the timing correctly the engine will be running ineffeciently, bad burn rates

hi i have antipollution fault have a peugeot 807 2006 diesel im wondering if u cud tell me were the vvt solenoid is

[patrickcrosby]

Good fix but that is not a sensor, it's a solenoid valve used to divert oil flow. Don't know what it does there but I have come across them many times in hydraulic systems.

Saludos! Esto servira a peugeot 307 sw 2.0 7 pasajeros gasolina modelo 2003?

[rickderby]

Was this causing a misfire mate? If so what cylinder?

[kyrodno]

would this be the same for a peugeot 3008 2010?

[qztjccw]

hello, thank alot, do you know the fault code that it give .

[xavier-devb]

Thank you I might try these method, I have been driving with my puegot 308"petrol 2010 it show same sign, took garage quoted me £200 said its oxygen sensor need to change, I might give a go never tried but looks easy steps, thank you, if it's worked I'll let
you know,

I have this same problem with my wife's 2006 Peugeot 307hdi, get the anti-pollution warning come up (except it's in French) but the engine light is constantly on no flashing, would that be the same problem, ie sensor etc?
