2.0L HDi I4 (DW10 BTED4)
Diesel
Cycle the electric sliding doors several times using the key fob, overhead console buttons, and pillar buttons on both flat ground and a slight incline. | Note: The sliding doors are notoriously temperamental. Snapped cables, failed electric motors, and faulty microswitches are common. If they bounce back or refuse to latch, expect a hefty repair bill as parts are expensive in New Zealand.
Accelerate hard under load up a steep hill to test high-RPM boost, and check the instrument cluster for 'Particle Filter Clogged' or 'Additive Level Low' warnings. | Note: The DW10 BTED4 engine relies on an Eolys DPF additive system. If the additive fluid runs dry or the system fails, the DPF will clog quickly, throwing the vehicle into limp-home mode and requiring specialized Peugeot-specific diagnostics (Lexia/PP2000) to reset.
Operate the indicator stalks, wipers, and headlights simultaneously while turning the steering wheel lock-to-lock to check for flickering lights or drop-outs. | Note: The integrated steering column switch unit (COM2000 unit) is prone to internal wear. Failure causes headlights to turn off randomly at night or indicators to stop self-canceling, which is an automatic WoF (Warrant of Fitness) failure in NZ.
On manual models, idle the car with the clutch pedal half-depressed and listen for rattling noises, and feel for clutch slippage or severe vibrations under heavy load in 4th gear. | Note: The Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) on these turbodiesels is prone to failure. Replacing a worn DMF and clutch is highly labor-intensive because the front subframe must be dropped, making it a very expensive job at NZ labor rates.
Perform a standard minor service. Ensure high-quality low-SAPS engine oil (C2 specification) is used to preserve the FAP/DPF filter. Inspect and clean sliding door tracks to prevent debris buildup.
Replace air, fuel, and cabin filters. Inspect front brake rotors and pads, as the 807's heavy chassis accelerates brake wear on winding NZ roads. Check and top up the Eolys DPF additive fluid tank.
Replace the timing belt, tensioners, and water pump (due every 10 years or 120,000km, but safer to do early in NZ's harsh climate). Inspect front suspension lower control arms, sway bar links, and shock absorbers for wear.
Always use PSA B71 2290 compliant low-SAPS oil (such as Total Quartz Ineo ECS 5W-30) to prevent premature DPF soot clogging.
Keep the battery in peak condition; a dropping voltage charge on these multiplexed French vans triggers erratic phantom electrical faults across the BSI computer module.
Clean and lubricate the electric sliding door tracks with a dry PTFE or silicone spray only; do not use heavy grease which attracts dirt and jams the mechanism.
Check under the passenger-side footwell carpet periodically for dampness, which indicates blocked air conditioning drain tubes or a leaking heater matrix.
Inspect the front suspension wishbone bushes at every WoF inspection, as the heavy front axle load of the diesel engine degrades them rapidly.
Estimated repair costs if issues arise
Preventative maintenance that must not be deferred. If the belt snaps, it will cause catastrophic internal engine damage.
Replacing a snapped mechanism cable or failed drive motor on one of the rear sliding doors using genuine parts.
Requires refilling the physical fluid bladder under the car and using PSA-specific diagnostic tools to reprogram the ECU counter.
