All 3 Known Issues
On the 2006-2014 Peugeot 207 1.6L EP6DT Turbo, the turbocharger oil feed and return lines develop leaks on the 1.6 THP engine, leading to oil consumption and blue exhaust smoke. The turbo bearing seals also deteriorate with extended oil change intervals.
Common Symptoms
- Blue exhaust smoke
- Oil consumption increase
- Turbo whine changes pitch
- Oil pooling near turbo
How to Fix
Replace the turbo oil feed and return lines with updated gaskets. If bearings are worn, a turbo rebuild or replacement is necessary. Use manufacturer-recommended oil change intervals.
On the 2006-2014 Peugeot 207, the MA/BE-series manual gearbox develops a characteristic whining or rumbling noise from the input shaft bearing. The noise is present in neutral with the clutch engaged and disappears when the pedal is pressed.
Common Symptoms
- Whining in neutral
- Noise disappears with clutch pressed
- Rumbling at idle
- Vibration through gear lever
How to Fix
Replace the input shaft bearing. This requires gearbox removal but is significantly cheaper than a full gearbox replacement if caught early.
