2 Answers
The diagnostic socket of Peugeot 307 is located behind the panel at the lower left side of the driver's dashboard, and this panel is marked with 'OBD'. If you see this panel, simply pull it out to reveal the diagnostic interface. The Peugeot 307 is a compact car with dimensions of 421mm in length, 1762mm in width, and 1531mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2608mm. It is a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback with a 5-speed manual transmission. The front brake type is ventilated disc, the rear brake type is disc, the parking brake type is handbrake, and the steering assistance type is electro-hydraulic power steering.
I've been driving a Peugeot 307 for five years, and I still remember searching for the diagnostic port like playing hide-and-seek. It's right below the steering wheel - just look down near your knees when seated in the driver's position, and you'll see a small rectangular plastic socket, usually black or gray, with 16 small holes. It's located near the fuse box, designed to be discreet yet not hard to find - crouch down and feel around with your hand, you'll definitely touch it. Last time when I used a Bluetooth OBD tool to read fault codes, it took me some time to confirm the location, but later I found most 307 models have it here. If you're unsure, check the owner's manual or consult a 4S store. The position is actually quite convenient - just remember to turn off the engine before starting the tool to avoid power surge issues. Regular checks can prevent minor problems - truly a practical design.
