I have had this V6 HDI coupe for several years. After about a year it decided that it would occasionally not accelerate when I put my foot down (hard) and then tell me that the engine pollution control was faulty. Several checks with Peugeot experts since then showed that the fault showed up in the computer as an imbalance in the air pressure sensors. After they were cleaned and eventually one sensor replaced ($200 plus) the fault continued. Very frustrating.
Then the second to third gear change in the Aisin auto six speed gearbox started to go wheee thunk as revs rose with a missed change. Off to the auto experts who said immediately that it was the auto valve body going wheee thunk and quoted me $2346 for the part plus $1000 for labour and fluids. Quick web search showed a group in UK who would send me a brand new OEM valvebody for a 2006 coupe for a paltry $711 including shipping. Arrived three days later and the auto experts slotted it in and flushed the gearbox. Works perfectly.
And surprise surprise the car now accelerates without a hiccup and there are no more engine management issues. Two lessons , don't believe the engine management software necessarily and the Peugeot parts dealers here are thieves. And a free plug for the UK One Stop Gearbox Shop!
