Sounds like it may be the turbo mate, hope it's not because if it is you'll need a new one and they aint cheap. Around a k fitted I would of thought. Hopefully it might be something simple, goodluck

It needs to go on a diagnostic machine to find the fault code, dont try guessing it could be one of a hundred things..... It sounds like it has gone into limp mode, that gets you home without putting more stress on the engine...

[boatangler33]

have you checked the engine oil? i know fords go in to limp mode if the engine oil goes below a certain level! dont know if its the case with peugeots though

If your turbo goes, what usually happens is your car will accelerate by its self and you have to stall the car to save the engine. the turbo will still spin and blow the engine if you turn it off with the keys.

On the other hand common problem with the 307 is fuel filter or worn vacuum pumps.

If you have a friend whos a mechanic get him to check the little things like that, it could be something as simple as a MAF sensor. Good luck.

if you blow your turbo you know as the amount of smoke mate

Yes, that can happen, the seals go on the compressor and it sucks oil out of the crank case which is fuel and keeps the engine running resulting in a knackered engine

well it may not be the turbo as no smoke and car did not axxelerate by its self just started it and it wont rev over 3000 revs
