Peugeot Boxer 2007

I wonder if anybody can help me? I have got condensation in my Peugeot Boxer`s front headlights. I believe it`s an MOT failure. Is there any way to remedy this without replacing the headlights? Also how easy is it to replace them if I need to? Thanks. (motorhome)

Over the winter it seems the scuttle drain filled the gearbox in my Peugeot Boxer with water. It (allegedly) froze, expanded and split the gearbox casing. Anyway therre was gearbox oil all over the floor. It might be just a broken casing, but will need a lift (pick up/towtruck) to somewhere they can look at it and once there will they say no problem? I expected hundreds of thousands of miles from a commercial Peugeot vehicle. It seems like, as a motorhome, 32k miles is pretty good going and scrapping it is not unreasonable. Is this the way it is? Thoughts would be much appreciated. I really thought a motorhome based on such a vehicle would last "forever". Any comments please? (Motorhome - Autosleeper)

Help! I have broken the catch on the centre glovebox of my Peugeot Boxer. I am trying to source a replacement at a reasonable price.

Hi Maria. I too had problems with gear selection on my Boxer. Firstly 1st, 2nd, 4th and reverse went. There seems to be a problem with the cable gear linkage system. I sprayed lots of liquid grease on the links. You’ll have to get under the van to do it or put it on a lift. After a while 1st, 2nd and reverse came back! I didn’t have 4th for about 3 three weeks , then it came back! It is not a problem in the gear box. I now have other problems. I won’t be getting another Peugeot! It won’t start in cold weather and the red engine light comes on and it goes into limp mode! Tim Payne from England

My Peugeot Boxer`s radiator has 2 fans, the one on the right as you look at the vehicle cuts in when the temperature reaches 100 deg . But I have never seen the left hand fan cut in. Are they supposed to cut in together or are they set for different temperature settings? (motorhome)

Answers

Probably the same as the 2 fans on the Fiat Ducato engine (motorhome). They are supposed to come on at the same time, but if you look you will see that one is mounted with the wiring at the top and the other with the wiring at the bottom. This means that the lefthand fan has a hole facing such that water gets into the fan and over time this fan seizes up. When I got a replacement fan I modified it such that the hole now faces the same way as the right hand fan - Anthony Oliver from Spain

Peugeot Boxer 2000

I paid for a reconditioned gearbox for my Peugeot Boxer with a specialist repairer two years ago. After 11 months it went wrong and they said water had got into the box but it had not done any damage. It had never happened before they touched it but they charged £300.00+. In December last year the gears started playing up again and they had it in for a free "adjustment". It was adjusted every two months or so ( I have accurate dates) until August when I took it in again. A week later, after 16 miles only, it would not go into 3rd (gear problem varies from gear to gear) so I took it in again. Sorted but, on the way home having covered 6 miles a similar problem, it won’t engage and feels like pushing the stick through porridge. Adjusted and on the way home again a vibration sets up in fourth on slopes when you change down or up in low revs. I’ve only done about 60 miles in 3 weeks and this change has occured in their custody. It`s not us, it’s an engine problem. (They kept the van for four days to come to this). A gas specialist, new leads and distributor but no go, must be a shim problem with the valve clearances. I`m waiting now but is it a problem with the gearbox shims as somebody now suggests? (Motorhome W Reg. Gas converted 2008)

Yes you can. If you use a early unit (pressed steel) the front bolts should fit. If you use a tubular frame seat mount you will need the correct, longer bolts as fitted when in the drivers position.

Took it to the garage and they found the linkage underneath that goes from the gear stick to the box was rusted up. They stripped, cleaned and greased-all ok now.

Hi. We had the same problem with ours. Do you have a side step? If so it’s the step alarm warning you that it’s not fully back in place to drive. The sensor on ours was faulty so we had it removed as it was too difficult to source. The step works fine without it. Hope this helps - Faye Kazmi from Bedfordshire.

The heater on my Peugeot Boxer has suddenly stopped working! No cold or hot air at all? Does anyone have any ideas how I might fix this problem?

Answers

Yes, I know the feeling mate, it happened to me. You need to take out the heater nobs first of all and remove any star head screws you see but there are some hidden ones where you have removed the three control nobs when your heater section is loose you need to then remove three more screws located on the heater switch as the switch connection over the years has worn thin. Remove the switch and open it up. There will be a few copper connections you need to clean and after you have done that, you need to put a solder on the main connection that has the spring on, put a good solder on the tip of it as this is the main problem. When done, I suggest you put it back together securing it with super glue and some electrical tape then test and refit. Problem solved mate unless you’re unlucky and the heater matrix has completely had its days. Hope that helps - Robert Massey from England

Peugeot Boxer 2003

Recently bought a 2003 camper van converted 2.0HDi diesel Boxer and I have a question about the alarm/immobiliser which is fitted. I assume it is not a Peugeot type but I have no other info. There is a light on top of the dash and depending on how set shows either flashing red light or solid green. Any idea what is being set in each case? But also new battery fitted (has leisure battery too). Not used for 2 weeks after decent run and battery had drained and van wouldn’t start. Re-charged with C-tek trickle charger and fine again. Could the immobilser/alarm drain battery in 2 weeks? Alternator seems fine. Or could leisure battery have been culprit and should be disconnected when van not in use? Have fitted battery isolator and leisure battery is not now connected. Any thoughts welcome.

Answers

I had a similar problem with my 2003 Boxer motorhome but I don’t have alarm but main battery was flat after leaving overnight with nothing switched on. I don’t think your problem is connected to the alarm. Fortunately, mine was fixed under warranty and I don’t know what was found. I suggest taking it to auto electrician as I think it is a problem with a short on wiring system. Sorry I can’t be of more help - Brian Walker from Yorkshire

Thanks for the help. Looks like I’ve cured it. Seems it was the leisure battery Combi Master self switching unit. I noticed it was always warm (therefore doing something) even though I’d isolated the leisure battery.

The radiator fan has started staying on when I switch ignition off, to such an extent it appears it would stay on until the battery flattens. So after about 5 minutes, I’ve been pulling the plug to the fan out when it obviously is not going to go off. Later, when the engine has cooled down I plug it back in and it’s okay. It happens even after about five miles. Am I correct in thinking that it has a sender unit that’s possibly going faulty and is it situated in the radiator? It’s a temptation to just carry on and just pull the plug out, but I’m probably tempting fate and it might suddenly fail altogether. Be glad of any help. (Motorhome)

Answers

I had this problem. Turned out I had a small leak from my radiator hose connection and there subsequently wasn’t enough water in there, so especially after longer journeys, the engine was beginning to overheat so when i got home and switched off, the fan stayed on! A real shock when it first happened and I got out with my keys in my hand and it sounded like the car was still on and going to drive off on its own! Fortunately it hadn’t got too bad to make the temp light come on or damage anything.

The horn on my Boxer sounds intermittently whilst driving for lengthy periods (until I pull the fuse). It doesn’t half frighten the natives and increase the laundry! Probable cause(s) would be appreciated.

Answers

Hello, Peugeot Boxers have what I describe as "err....mmm!" wiring looms. By this I mean the faults that can occur make you go "err....mmm!". Sorry, they are good as a rule but can be a headache. I suspect your problem is either a foreign supply to the horn (via fuseboard, or chaffed wire within the loom), or as I have said before, it may be the relucter ring beneath the steering wheel if your horn is on the steering wheel. They deteriorate and contact is made when not required, or the power supply wire touches the ring/earth thus resulting the same inappropriate sounding. Start by removing the steering wheel and have a look, remove the battery earth cable first if you have a steering wheel airbag, and use caution whilst removing and refitting it. Hope this helps, thanks - Rich from England

This could be the master and slave cylinders but may be a leak or failure in the seals on the cylinders - thus it may not actually need the cylinders themselvers replacing.

My Boxer is the base vehicle for my Compass motorhome. I am curious to know if anyone else has experienced the following... After 28,000 miles, we were touring France when we had a problem with noise in the area of the passenger side front wheel. It turned out to be a wheel bearing which had to be replaced, along with the hub and circlip at a cost of 489.47euros plus tax. I have been home just a week and now have to spend a similar sum in Sterling to have the drivers side wheel attended to. How common is it for both to go and why the expense? Wheel bearings are not made of gold. I have heard that there was a recall but can find no detail about this. £800 for two wheel bearings seems to be excessive in the extreme.
