Peugeot Boxer Temperature Sensors

Temperature gauge jumping or stuck low, check engine light, poor fuel economy and a cooling fan that won't activate. Hard cold starts with the engine running too rich are another tell — the ECU thinks it's always warming up and keeps dumping fuel.

Bobshop lists the Peugeot coolant temp sensor (covering 107 to 807 fitment) around R65.93. A workshop charges maybe an hour's labour to fit. Request a free quote through our form for your specific engine — 1.4, 1.6 THP and 1.6 HDi use different sensors.

Yes — if the sensor is stuck reading cold, the ECU never triggers the cooling fan and the engine cooks in traffic. We see this across the 207, 307, 308 and 3008 range. Replace with a revised OEM part, not a cheap generic, or the fault returns within months.

Either genuine overheating or a failing sensor giving false readings. Stop and check coolant level first — low coolant confirms a leak or failed thermostat. A solid cold dash on restart with no actual heat signs points at the sensor.

Yes. If the sensor reports cold when the engine is hot, the ECU keeps the mixture enriched as if still warming up. You'll see fuel consumption climb 10 to 20 percent, especially on shorter commuter trips. Replacement restores economy immediately.
