Examine your high engine

Two elements can be the triggers of these ticking noises on Peugeot 1007. Either the hydraulic pushers , in general it is because of their faulty “hydraulic catch-up” system that we will find out these clicking noises, often when cold and vanish when hot. Otherwise, it is the interplay of your rocker arms or their condition of wear that is at issue. In this circumstance, remember to change them.
Examine your low engine
If you have distinguished the region of source of the Peugeot 1007 clikcing noises coming from your low engine, it may be that your rods or piston shafts are the triggers. In both situations, the risk in the long term is the breakage of the motor. These two maintenance are very complex and most mechanics will encourage you to replace the engine of your Peugeot 1007.
Combustion problem

Examine the condition of your glow plugs which, if worn, can hinder the proper combustion of the fuel mixture. Then, it is possible that your timing belt is shifted and that it does not properly manage the timing of the various engine components to promote good combustion. And finally, the most classic cause, comes from your injection, which is either blocked or one or more injectors are destroyed.

Examine the condition of the gimbals
One of the most common triggers of a clicking noises in the direction of your Peugeot 1007 is related to the direction of the vehicle. Indeed, the cardans and their bellows are parts that are constantly stressed during your changes of direction or that you turn your wheels and a wear of one of them can make a ticking type of sound when you get closer to the stop zone of your steering. A bellows with holes will damage the cardan shaft very quickly and must be swapped very quickly, otherwise the entire cardan shaft will have to be swapped. Consider taking a look at it.

Examine the suspension
If you encounter a clicking noise on your Peugeot 1007 when you pass a speed bump, it is very possible that your suspension block is the cause of the sound. Indeed, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are out of date, have the rubber (silentbloc) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its function and during small jolts that compress the suspensions. To verify if this is the issue that worries you, take a dented road and, at low speed, pay attention to the sound originating from your front axle when ever you pass over holes. If these are the cups, consider changing them as soon as possible as this may damage other parts and require more expensive repairs.
Check spring and cylinder
If you detect a clicking noise on your Peugeot 1007 at the suspension level, it is widely possible that spring wear or shock cylinder deformation may be a cause. To verify the condition of the spring, position the car on a flat surface and measure that the heights from the ground to the bottom of the body are identical on each side (empty car for measurement). You can also verify between the front and rear, if there is a gap too significant it means that most likely your springs are worn, if you observe a leak go a little further in the article to have the answer to this problem. For the cylinder the verification is visual, ensure that it seems to work in a straight axis. And that there is no angle that would alter its proper functioning. If one of them breaks in both situations, you should consider swapping it or them.
