The location of the drainage holes on the Peugeot 408 doors: They are usually near the row of welds at the very bottom of the door, typically rectangular in shape, and can be found on both the front and rear doors. Common locations for drainage holes in vehicles: at the front windshield in the engine compartment, in the four corners inside the sunroof, at the lower part of the front and rear doors, inside the fuel filler cap, at the bottom of the spare tire in the trunk, and in the gaps between the front and rear headlights and the body fenders. Additional information: 1. Causes of clogged car drainage holes: The accumulation of debris such as leaves falling from trees is the main cause of clogged drainage holes in vehicles. Decaying leaves often attract insects, and if not cleaned for a long time, the decaying leaves and insect remains can enter the engine compartment, causing the drainage holes to clog. 2. Hazards of clogged drainage holes: Once the drainage holes are clogged, the speed at which water inside the car drains will slow down, eventually leading to a large amount of water accumulating inside the vehicle. Some of this water may flow into the car through the drainage pipes, damaging the interior and instruments. 3. Methods for cleaning car drainage holes: When there is poor drainage, it is necessary to determine which drainage hole or pipe is causing the issue based on the location of the accumulated water.

I've been driving my Peugeot 408 for almost five years now, and the location of the door drain holes is quite easy to find—they're right at the bottom edge of each door. To be more specific, when you fully open the door and look down at the plastic or rubber section at the bottom, you'll notice small holes, usually positioned near the hinge side or the latch side. These holes are designed to drain rainwater or water from car washes, preventing moisture buildup inside the door cavity that could lead to rust or corrosion. I often clean them with a soft brush or compressed air after washing my car to avoid blockages from leaves or dust. While the exact position might vary slightly depending on the car model, they're generally at the bottom. Regular checks are crucial; otherwise, trapped water can damage internal door components. Like last time, my door panel almost rusted through, but luckily I noticed and cleared it in time. Maintenance isn’t difficult at all.

What are the symptoms of a faulty idle motor?

The symptoms of a faulty idle motor are: the car sometimes fails to start, but at other times it may start, and after starting, it can drive normally when accelerating. When the car shifts to neutral after releasing the throttle, it may stall or have an excessively high idle speed (above 2,000 RPM), failing to return to the normal range of around 900 RPM. It may require pressing the throttle to start and move. More details are as follows: 1. Unstable idle speed, idle shaking, high engine RPM, and similar phenomena are all caused by a faulty idle motor. Since the idle motor is a small electric motor that controls idle speed by adjusting its position via electric current, it regulates the idle air flow. Consequently, the idle motor is highly susceptible to dirt from dust carried by the air entering the engine, which affects its precise control. Excessive dust entering the idle motor can cause it to jam or fail. 2. Symptoms of a jammed idle motor Due to excessive dust entering the idle motor, it may get stuck in a certain position and fail to rotate. This can lead to incorrect control of the engine idle speed, potentially causing excessively high idle RPM. Even after the engine warms up, the idle speed may remain around 900 to 1,000 RPM and fail to stabilize normally. If the idle motor is stuck in the closed position, it may prevent the normal intake of air during idle. 3. This may result in the engine stalling after startup due to an inability to maintain stable idle speed, or the idle speed may drop too low (around 500 RPM), causing severe engine shaking. Therefore, it is essential to regularly replace the air filter and avoid using excessively dirty air filters for extended periods. Otherwise, excessive dust entering the idle motor can lead to its failure.

What are the reasons for the inability to adjust the power seat forward and backward?

Power seat forward and backward adjustment failure may be due to a damaged adjustment switch, burned-out adjustment motor, or circuit malfunction. Many cars are equipped with power-adjustable seats, which have internal electric adjustment mechanisms. If these mechanisms are damaged, the seat will not be adjustable. More details are as follows: 1. Generally, power seats have two common issues: one is the seat being completely unresponsive, and the other is the seat not being adjustable in a certain direction. 2. The inability to adjust the seat in a certain direction is mainly caused by motor damage or switch short circuits. First, check if the fuse is blown. If there is no issue with the fuse, inspect the wiring for faults, then check the power seat switch or the seat mechanism for problems, and finally, check if there are any broken wires.
