Faults that affect 2007 cars
- Medium severityFrequency: CommonClutchPremature clutch wearThe clutch is by far the most cited fault among owners of the Aygo, C1 and 107/108 with this engine: between 13% and 41% of the reviews collected by fiches-auto.fr for each of the four cars mention it.
- Medium severityFrequency: CommonCoolingCoolant leak from the water pumpThe water pump is the second most cited fault on the first-generation Aygo, C1 and 107 (2005-2014): between 16% and 24% of the fiches-auto.fr reviews mention it, although it does not appear in the more limited data for the Peugeot 108.
- High severityFrequency: RareOther2010 recall for the accelerator pedalIn January 2010 Toyota recalled, as part of a worldwide campaign, the Aygo, Peugeot 107 and Citroën C1 built between February 2005 and August 2009 because of an accelerator pedal that could stay partly depressed or return slowly to idle.
- Low severityFrequency: OccasionalEmissions controlFaulty lambda sensor (P0420 code) on the 1.0 VVT-iOn the 1.0 VVT-i (1KR-FE) in the Aygo, C1 and 107/108, the lambda sensor, especially the one upstream of the catalytic converter, is documented as failing at high mileage and leaving code P0420 and the engine warning light. It is a cheap repair and does not damage the engine.
- Low severityFrequency: RareLubricationOil consumption: no documented patternUnlike other small engines of its era, oil consumption does not appear as a widespread problem on the 1.0 VVT-i: it accounts for between 1% and 4% of the reviews recorded by fiches-auto.fr for the Aygo, C1 and 107/108.
- Low severityFrequency: RareCylinder head and blockHead gasket and exhaust gasket: no documented patternThe head gasket does not appear as a relevant problem on the 1.0 VVT-i either: between 0 and 2 cases out of more than 200 reviews on the C1 and 107/108, and it does not even appear as a category of its own in the Aygo data consulted.
