TDV6 / SDV6 engine in the 2007 Peugeot 607
Names: 2.7 HDi V6
- With caution
2.7 TDV6 (276DT/DT17, 2004-2010)
190–200 hp · 276DT, DT17
You need to verify that the belt and oil pump have been replaced with the improved part.[2][3]
Faults that affect 2007 cars
- Critical severityFrequency: OccasionalLubricationCrankshaft breakage and spinning main bearing shellsOn the TDV6/SDV6 in the Discovery 3 and 4, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, crankshaft failures have been documented caused by main bearing shells that are badly seated or that spin; the engine can seize and needs replacing or rebuilding.
- Critical severityFrequency: OccasionalTimingBroken oil pump housing and timing belt jumping on the 2.7On the 2.7 TDV6 the belt tensioner is bolted to the oil pump housing; if that part gives way, the belt jumps and the engine, an interference design, can be destroyed. Specialists fit the improved pump along with the belt.
2.2 HDi engine in the 2007 Peugeot 607
Names: 2.2 HDi 133 · 2.2 HDi 170
- With caution
2.2 HDi 170-175 twin-turbo (DW12 BTED4, 2005-2010)
170–175 hp · DW12, DW12BTED4, ZSD-422
The two-turbo system adds mechanical complexity; fiches-auto records a significant number of turbo cases in the twin-turbo versions, although, according to the same source, it does not amount to a chronic problem.[5][6]
Faults that affect 2007 cars
- High severityFrequency: OccasionalTurboTurbo faults, somewhat more frequent on the sequential twin-turbo versionsThe 2.2 HDi comes in single-turbo versions (128-156 hp) and twin-turbo versions with two turbochargers in sequence (170 hp and up). Fiches-auto does not consider it a chronic problem, but it does record a significant number of turbo cases across all power outputs, somewhat higher on the twin-turbos.
- High severityFrequency: OccasionalInjectionPiezo injector wear and failureThe 2.2 HDi uses third-generation common-rail injection with piezo injectors at up to 1,800-2,000 bar. Fiches-auto documents injector cases across several power outputs, without it being the most repeated fault, with symptoms of hard starting, jerking or higher fuel consumption.
- Medium severityFrequency: RareClutchDual-mass flywheel wear, less frequent than on other HDi enginesThe 2.2 HDi has a dual-mass flywheel but, unlike smaller HDi engines such as the 1.6 HDi, fiches-auto does not document a chronic problem: very few cases in the tables consulted. Even so, it is a wear part: vibration and knocking are the signs to watch for before buying.
2.0 and 2.2 16v EW10/EW12 engine in the 2007 Peugeot 607
Names: 2.2 16v 158/163
- With caution
2.2 16v 158-163 hp (EW12J4, 3FZ/3FY, 1999-2010)
158–163 hp · 3FZ, 3FY
Oil consumption is what comes up most in owner reviews of the 2.2 (10 of 56 according to the Fiches-auto.fr table, 5 of them in the 407 2.2, although in the 407 at least one testimony refers to the steering oil rather than the engine). It is a small sample with no independent second source, so it is worth measuring oil consumption and demanding proof of the last timing belt replacement.[8][9][10][11][12]

- Medium severityFrequency: OccasionalElectrical systemStarter motor and alternator failureAccording to the fiches-auto.fr page, 22 owner reports for the 607 talk of a failed starter motor and 19 of the alternator, with failures between around 90,000 and 230,000 km; 13 more mention the battery.
- Low severityFrequency: CommonElectrical systemBreakage of the cable and guides of the electric window mechanismIt is the most cited fault on the fiches-auto.fr page for the 607: 112 of around 365 owner reports talk of broken cables, damaged plastic guides or failing motors, with windows stuck.
