My girlfriend's 207 1.4 8V (TU engine) is displaying the apparently common head gasket oil leak symptoms (I think the 1.1 engine along with the 1.4s in the 106 and 206 were susceptible too?) and I fancy having a crack at changing it and doing the cam belt at the same time as a bit of a challenge to myself.Has anyone done one of these engines? What do I need to know?

Is it simple for someone who is not scared of a spanner but who doesn't have a massive wealth of experience?It looks pretty easy in principle because of the simple and accessible engine configuration; Remove stuff, remove rocker cover and cam belt, lock the timing, undo head bolts, lift off head, clean off old gasket, apply new one, bolt head back on to the correct torque and in the correct sequence?I was going to set aside a couple of days when the weather improves to tackle it.It's a horrid engine and to me, the 'TU' stands for 'Totally Useless', but hey ho. The rest of the car is fine.

Get the Haynes book of Lies and work through it.I will usually skim as a matter of routine.If it has been oozing oil for some time the coolant hoses may have been perished by the oil and may need replacing so you will need to check them. Also, it is a good idea to replace the big 'O' ring that seals the plastic hose manifold that screws into the back of the block behind the water pump since these can become perished too and it is an easier to do this with the head off.To clean the oil out of the cooling system get a couple of bottles of 'Forte Bioclean/biodegreaser' It does the job a treat and even smells nice(Unfortunately Forte products are only generally available to the trade so you wont be able to get it at Halfrauds however there are E-bay sellers). Well, when I took it to the garage for its MOT, they mentioned that all 207's are susceptible to the head gasket going.Not an oil leak as such, except that is does drink quite a bit of oil, and I am finding that I have to add a bit in every 6 months, half a litre or so, so I think it is leaking through and being burnt off.

There is also white gunk in the oil filler cap, but I haven't cleaned it, so I will do that tomorrow, drive it for a week and then see if it reappears.The issue is, is that this engine was built by BMW, and I think it was used in the Mini so you would assume it would be indestructible. Aps ethos software. Well the issue with the TU (8-valve) engines is that the head gasket fails in the front left corner and there's an oil gallery nearby and so the oil seeps out.

Let it get too bad and it'll probably develop into full-blown HGF, but usually it isn't so much in the 'classic' sense of HGF symptoms. In this case there's no white smoke or emulsified oil to be seen. I hope.My research has not let me to believe that the issue is pertinent in the 16-valve variants.If you're adding half a litre of oil every 6 months (how many miles is this?) then I wouldn't have thought the head gasket is the issue here, more that you've either got a slight leak somewhere or it's burning it. Then again I don't think I'd worry unless you're only doing 500 miles every 6 monthsIn regards to your comment about recalling them, Peugeot were doing free repairs outside the warranty period AFAIK. In my case though, the car is 6 years old with 65k miles on the clock. The oil-way that travels from the block to the cylinder head is sealed with an O ring that is part of the head gasket.This tends to go hard and loses effectiveness over timeThe oil is at a much higher pressure than the coolant so the oil tends to leak into the cooling system (But not the other way round) filling it with sludge which eventually interferes with cooling and will rot the rubber pipes etc but other than that many people can (And have) driven for years with this problem without it getting particularly bad.(I have never seen a case of the oil being 'Dumped' into the cooling system! I dont imagine it has 'Never' happened, but I have never heard of it happening)When buying an older TU engined car it is always worthwhile unscrewing the coolant cap and rubbing ones finger round inside to see if it feels greasy.

It is not a reason to walk away, but should rather be treated as a negotiating point. Especially if you can do the job yourself. I sold a low mileage 207 1.4 16V last year that in the last 18 months had the head gasket, crankshaft oil seals, radiator and water pump replaced at various stages. That was the second time for the radiator as well!I did some searching when the head gasket oil leak appeared and it appears common for both 8v and 16v engines.

Even the dealer admitted this was common and given another customer was dropping their car off for the same fault when we collected ours, it certainly appears to be. Peugeot wouldn't contribute to any of the costs.

Peugeot 206 GTi 180 3-door hatchback (Australia)Introduced to the market in 2003, the Peugeot 206 GTi 180 and 206 RC brought high performance to the product range. The range topping GTi 180 was brought to the UK market, while the 206 RC was introduced to the rest of Europe. The new 'hot hatch' used the 2 litre EW10J4S engine, which produced 175 bhp (130 kW; 177 PS) thanks to variable valve timing and modified inlet and exhaust manifolds. Other features on the 206 GTi 180 and 206 RC include 17 inch alloy wheels, racing bucket front seats, a short shift gear linkage and altered gearbox ratios (1st & 2nd gears). The new car was capable of reaching 62 mph (100 km/h) in 7.4 seconds.

Peugeot planned to name it '207 Brasil' in Brazil, but soon dropped the 'Brasil' from the name, as this decision gained generally negative reactions from the media.

The Brazilian 207 has also been criticized because it was perceived essentially as a facelifted 206, despite Peugeot's efforts to market it as an entirely new car and even selling it at a higher base price.In February 2009, Peugeot announced that this revised model will be made in France, at the, for the European ( only) market, badged as the 206+. As a patriotic recession-beating rejoinder to 's initiative of importing low priced from.
