I'd say (in this order): 1. Fuel filter (+ Air filter while you are at it) 2. Vacuum leaks 3. MAF-sensor 4. Leak test fuel injectors 5. EGR-vent (clean or change, not very fun), and while changing/cleaning it change the high pressure sensor 6. DPF-clean 7. Fuel pump (least likely it is very well built) I'd buy that car in a heartbeat, that seven step list applies to all PSA-diesels with and without error codes and hesitant behavior, point 7 is really expensive but 1-6 is cheap (monetary) if you don't account for the work.

Sensible list. Many say glow plugs - not needed to start at that temp, so glad you haven't suggested those! Start with Fuel filter as you say since it is a service item and good to eliminate. Usually worse though when asking for more fuel not idling. Vacuum leaks often make it hard to start but OK once going. I believe he sold it, but still useful to know these things. My money is dirty injectors or EGR valve not closing fully. Can unplug a MAF sensor to check it's not that. Can check injector leak off by doing a full acceleration test. Third gear and rev it out with foot flat to floor. Get an error code flagged up/engine limp mode.

I worked for Peugeot/Kia for decades until last year.Change Fuel Filter for an OE spec not a moody pattern one.Also never knew until 4 years ago,there is such a thing as summer & winter diesel the latter has antifreeze agents in it to stop waxy fuel in cold temps.The Kia 1.7 Diesel engines in fact were being recovered to us over one winter,awaiting a complete new fuel filter housing with uprated fuel heater.We asked the customers what fuel had been used mostly cheap supermarket,in these we sent the fuel away for inspection,it was summer fuel being used in winter.Hope this may help you,good luck 👍

Old diesels are usually only trouble if driven by people that always do short journeys and never rev them above 2,000rpm. Service them on time, give them a longer run occasionally and allow them to rev high enough to burn off the particulates and they are usually okay.

@Adrian CV Political pressure over particulates in populated places (try saying that when you're drunk). Basically diesels put out a lot of particulates that affect the lungs though this is mostly only a problem in cities and high population density parts of the country where people live besides busy roads. It also conveniently ignores the fact that petrol cars are quite low in toxic emissions when new but get worse as they age but diesel engines tend to stay the same as they age (if properly maintained).

@Adrian CV I agree that CO2 emissions are important as well. I suppose if you live in an affected area then particulates are important. I live in a relatively low population area in windy and wet Scotland, so I have no problem with driving a diesel car. If I travel into the city I usually take the train. I suppose the answer is to introduce congestion charges which is what they are doing. In a few years it will all be irrelevant as EVs take over and the number of diesel (and petrol) cars on the road drop to levels that will make the air much safer for people living in these areas.

Hi James, I am currently working on one of these for a friend of mine. It's the same spec and year as this and yes, they are a really nice car. If this is the 2.0 hdi, it is the same engine as fitted to Ford Mondeo Mk4. Firstly check the oil level or more to the point that the end of the dipstick has not broken off - the garage filled my friend's car with 7.5 litres of oil, which didn't help anything. Also check vacuum hose connections, there is one on top of the vaccuum pump these are easily broken and the plastic gets brittle with age. Also where the vacuum hoses join the inlent manifold moulding - these are difficult to see (need a mirror) and are at the back of the engine near the bulkhead. I had to remove them when removing the inlet manifold they may have been missed if the manifold had been removed in the past. This might not help - but worth a look. Oh yes, at 145k it will need a cambelt if not had one already. If you are going to change the cambelt be carefull when loosening the crank pulley nut.

Lots of good insights and advice below James, and I think it would be worth your while to get more of a feel for diesels, as this may sound odd, but Diesel is very much a genuinely renewable fuel for the future, given how Extremeky cheap Ultra Clean Synthetic Fuels are likely to be making an appearance, via Plasma Gasification Waste to Energy with Syngas Production. For insight, UK Waste annually can deliver about 4 times the amount of diesel presently used by the USA every single year, and imho, we are going to have to turn to it, when the Stupidity that's Electic Vehicles Fails Catastrophically and has been launched decades too early, I to completely inadequate infrastructure, that can't handle hacking attacks, let alone CME impacts taking down Power Grids for long periods (part of why nobody in their right mind should be allowing "Smart" Power and Water Meters onto their property, and should be glaring at neighbours Stupid enough to have them. Putting aside the over inclusion of vulnerable electric toys cars are burdened with today, basic facts about Diesels are their simplicity, extreme reliability, and wonderful sources of torque, and despite how badly they have been treated by service centres servicing badly or not at all, with proper care and attention, they can be brought back wonderfully. An example, a Bedford TL 7.5 ton I had, had been service Contracted with an approved Commercial Premises, that frankly would be an I suit to call them Cowboys, and you couldn't reliably co template doing a delivery further than about 20 miles away from base. Obviously this was not acceptable. I knew a very good place to get work done, that my Grandfather and u cle had always used, so I called in, to see if they could take over the servicing for me, and the owner checked the vehicle over, and some things were so bad, he wouldn't let me leave u til they had been fixed (it took a few hours), then he did a priority list starting with full service of everything to be done on the Service day he slotted me I to. After the second service, a year later, there was nowhere in Britain or Europe .I had the Confidence to go to, knowing I could get there and back with no problem. 3rd service, I was told the Lucas Fuel injection was on the way out, and gave the ok to get a replacement, which turned out to be a Bosch, which to drive with was nowhere as good as the Lucas (with the Lucas, you could pretty much steer it with throttle assistance), but I adjusted to it. Aftervevery Service done by good mechanics, you could feel the vehicle getting happier and happier, because with diesels, you get far more connected to the character of the engine, which is why for so many people, me included, Diesels become such a passion and a love affair that is really rewarding. I think over comp.icating them with masses of electronics gets in the way of all that. Start looking at diesels right James, and .I think you will find them surprisingly rewarding. Best Wishes Bob (who has driven millions of miles with diesels as a professional driver, and now I can't manage mast and Sails boats now, am looking forward to getting a boat with 2 diesel engines in it, at some point). 👍🙂🇬🇧🏴🇺🇲

Finally try vPower fuel or equivalent, the additives will help clean the injectors. I doubt the fuel pressure is low or has an air leak as the rough running would be there at all temperatures: good luck.

My old Mechanic would have told me to get the fuel level low... put in a good dose of "goulash" into the Diesel or Petrol tank. ( injector cleaner) run the ass off it down the M50 lol. And then fill the tank back to full. Usually the issue is a dirty injector. ( I am not a Mechanic) With every car I have owned and I would not be a high mileage driver. I have at least once a week brought the car on the motorway and give the engine a good run.

Surely all trade-ins have some sort of issue, especially french cars which are notorious for dodgy electrics, had a few Peugeot as company cars mainly and they all developed electrical gremlins over time. Nobody is going to spend more than a car is worth at a garage on diagnosing and repairing it before trading it in for a lowball figure at a dealer?

A few things it could be but the one that it looks like to me is the fuel vacuum regulator valve. Used to be a super common issue on the old primera 2.2dci. But injectors, map sensors blah blah. As I've said so many times James. Just stick to petrols! Diesels are utter crap once they are past 100k and 6 or so years. Super flakey reliability. Pass it on to someone else.

After watching the video, I had a similar problem, but not as severe a few years ago. The car would start everytime, but lumpy for a couple of minutes. I found that the clear fuel line had loads of air bubbles in it on first start, eventually finding a tiny hole in the pipe. The fuel was running back to the tank overnight and the fuel pump was dragging loads of air with the fuel.

Spill pipes leaking? IMHO this is not symptomatic of injectors or pump. One way or the other this is likely to be bubbles in the fuel.

yes, unless they are old, old diesels, then they are fine. better than fine, direct injection, egr, and or turbo and dpf? disposable, get shot of it long before 120k preferably sooner...unless you drive em like you actually stole em, install a turbo timer , get em walnit blasted every 50k or chemical cleaned every 10k. but its likely ytou will be looking at of car clean at best, new egr, and itll still nedd remedial blasting, and then one of your injectors goes down.....on and on and on it goes....

Old Peugeots - or indeed anything French = don't touch. In reality, this car was actually worth around £400 to £500......if that. I speak from experience. About 30 odd years ago I once bought a really nice Peugeot 405 diesel estate. Nice spec, belonged to a doctor. It was the most troublesome heap of crap I ever owned. Bucket-loads of hard to sort electrical gremlins. Electric sunroof motor went tits up, head gasket blew, power steering packed up etc.... Listen folks, if anyone ever offers you a nice Peugeot for not a lot of money, just run away screaming......then ring the Samaritans once you get home. And if the car you were offered was Italian, then try to get some counselling too, if you can......because that would have been even *worse* I got my 405 sorted as best I could, then decided to take it about 50 miles away to trade it in against a diesel Astra. I just assumed that might be the last I saw of it. How wrong I was. The bloody thing was on my local supermarket car park about 10 days later.......

Sorry disagree. It's a £2995 retail car, £2495 private so even if it were a serious issue having purchased at £1000 there is loads left to repair. And the fact it was sold on within 24hrs at £1500 shows other know this too

Are all old diesel’s just trouble? What?? First of all, this isn’t even «old». This generation of cars started in 2011 and thats far from what i would consider old. Second, actually old diesels are often virtually bulletproof, for example the 606 comes to mind and related engines. This is just a weird title if you ask me.
