All of which for the clutch biting point is basically saying pull away hard a few times - the diagbox is just to reference the engine torque and check that it's stuck. So nothing to loose by warming it up, and then doing a few hard starts to get it to adjust.

Mine definitely needed the immobiliser removing from it. Mine didn't have an ECU but it was matched to the ignition barrel/key chip.

Cheers Marc I am sorting out a laptop and will order a lead set and PP / Lexie to help pin point this issue I will check my vin again sorry for that. The fan runs weather the air con is on or off,

It does appear to have an oxygen sensor:

It should be possible to go into Std Parameter measurements to see what the O2 sensor is doing. I would also look to see what the EGR valve is doing - assuming it has position feedback, then it should closely track the requested position. You could also check the injector corrections to...

Good news on getting those two things identified and fixed!

Thanks Chris, having been fine on your BX, I'm sure should I ever need to replace the HG on my 405, the Multi-Layer will be fine. I think the BoL quotes four thicknesses of Gasket, but the differences are fractions of a millimetre; I'll get the thinnest multi-layer I can find if the job ever comes up

307 RESTYLING 5 DOOR SALOON 1.6 i 16v 110 (TU5JP4) 4-SPEED AUTOMATIC GEARBOX

P0606 is an uncharacterised Engine ECU fault - so nothing further on that one.
and C1381 is not present in any fault diagnosis I have, so very sorry, can't be much help on that front.

That ground lead in the background (yellow crimp-eye connector) is a DIY mod. Perhaps see where that black wire leads to, and you might get a clue what is was meant to do.

Yeah ignoring the F5FF certainly seems to be the case with a few other people I've read about on forums & their cars start fine.

I have done a BSI reset as per your instructions with the door lock closed.

I need a mobile tech/mechanic in this area who really knows their stuff & knows how to use diag equipment for Peugeot properly, finding such a...

I'd change the Lambda sensor then clear the codes they are possibly related to the lambda

It looks very much like the Turbo Vacuum Solenoid Valve (item 1), you can see the 3 air unions (3, 4 & 5) on the diagram that correspond to the pipes that have been cut off in your picture.

Your choice of course, but not recommended when it comes to explosives in safety devices.

Second hand units can be got for a reasonable amount. A 206 driver airbag module - £10 (49 złotys); a Comms Unit £34 (169 złotys). What price safety?

I'd sooner forego an airbag rather than risk it going off at some random point that would likely cause a...

MAF cleaner would be better and don’t touch the wire.

Hi thanks , had already seen that.

The reason we posed the question is that the XUD9 has the same bore/stroke 83mm/88mm as the XU9. Wondered if it would be possible to fit the diesel block to the 16v petrol head ?

Mine are

I would make sure the injector clamp bolts are tight (and checked every service). Volvo (who use a derivative of the PSA 1.6 HDi engine) do this as a matter of course, and they don't appear to get the problem with 'coke' in the oil, blocking the various pathways and filters.

Thanks - Excuse to buy more tools as my normal torque wrench doesnt go...

Can you record the standard air parameters with Diagbox, while going for a short, varied drive?

It will be there, but it is hidden inside the exterior shell. You have to take that off to locate it.

Do your drop links not have an Allen Key hole in the end of the threaded part to hold them still whilst you undo the nut? My C5 ones certainly do.
Cleaning up the thread first still applies though.

Sorry :oops: just re-read the previous posts.

I covered 60 miles on the new oil it's still a little notchy going down the gears especially until it's warmed up. I been reading online about a fix for this problem tho what the fix is I have no idea. When I changed the oil I put in 1.9l as I read 1.9L and 2L on different sites. Is 1.9 correct the VIN is VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]. There's no whine from...

Hi, I'm no expert, but you could probably get some speaker cable and run it from the interior light to the door. This would include trying to route the cable out of sight through the rubber seal that the door closes onto. You may need to drill a small hole in the door to run the cable through but shouldn't be too big. Maybe use a grommet.

This is...

I drained 2lt ( which I put in a couple of years ago) and filled with 2lt fresh oil. 2lt is the volume stated in the Haynes manual - it that accurate enough or should I also do the level check?

Ive not had a chance to investigate this, it is working fine from the button on the key and there is no internal button so it must either be the button or a break in the wiring. I shall let you know

Ive not looked at nine yet, so if I need sensors i will learn from you David and get a genuine one!

Thanks mate

Citroen replacement part number: 1706Y5. Brand new OEM is £1145.72 inc. VAT
or they do an equivalent, part number: 1612916180 at £800.54

Item 10 which is shown with the heat shield on of course. Normally you would also replace the fitting clamps at the same time.

Sometimes the parts exploded views can be a great help, also ECP to find out compatability/sameness.

Corroded in pads seem more frequent these days. I service the pads ( remove, de rust, paint and lube ( the backing plate and where they sit/rest in the pad holders ) before and after winter. A hassle yes but worth doing if you have the kit and...

My Suggestion mate is to check and clean the Mas flow sensor with carb cleaner,it doesn t take a lot to throw a wobbly,cleaned and replaced one over 10yrs on an old Fronty, was a good car to me really. Had me stumped for a couple of hours,put a meter on the connection from ECU and rev it,if you get differences in voltage,ONLY about 5v MAX. if you...

Thanks for the replies. Sorry I've not been on line.
2 issues.
Black smoke up hills, not enough air or dodgy injector.
Slight oil leaks, which might be worsened by crankcase pressure.
Anyway, new development is blocked injector, can't remember code, and an ominous rattling ☹️
Sorry I completely forgot about those codes. Do you have your VIN, as I...

Thanks Picasso, no alignment marks in this case (forget where it was bought from as from my spares) Anti-Roll Bar is different on the 405, but aware that on the 306 its bolted to the wishbone

Appreciate the trouble.

Yes, the axillary adapter was recognised after connection without enabling as you suggested Marc - thanks Alex.

I told the wife I had left a wire off she said you're very stupid not much sympathy there. :rofl2: cracking

Great that you sorted it though,

Great, they went back in fine, thanks again Marc - Alex.

Ensure you have the correct brake switch too and don't forget to read the advisory section on using Diagbox first of all:

Diagbox Warning

Thanks Marc, it's not the timing belt I was replacing only the alternator drive belt. Apparently most of the 1.4's had a spring loaded tensioner some like mine have no tensioner and a stretchy belt. The bearings in the guide pulley are gone on mine at the minute it's just hand tight I didn't want to go down the really tight route in case I strip...

Chefslot has read the gearbox out to do the clutch etc, so this will give you some ide as to what is involved

And another post with more info you might find interesting.

I’ve moved this to the Peugeot section.

The horn working does not mean the Comms unit is not faulty. The Comms unit is a complex control unit that communicates with the BSI on the CAN / VAN network. It is quite possible for for any or all the functions to work, yet it could still be faulty.

As for your airbag situation, you will need Peugeot...

Thank you very much!

Also says pass air bag disconnected

Excellent - A lot of this stuff seems to come from Poland, including my recent front hydraulic strut.

Another 205td saved. :-D :-D

Excellent!

That's a rack and pinion . The pinion is the small round gear and the rack is the long flat one.
It's one, possibly the most common, way to convert rotary motion into linear motion.
One common problem with the design is, when it stops and starts at the same place the teeth can wear away from the stop/start points on the rack, with no apparent wear...

A heartening result, after a lot of forum head-scratching. A very instructive thread! :)

Brilliant, thanks Marc, it’s number 2...

I took out the battery and tray no relay apart from the one mentioned earlier. I then went to check the fuel pipes under the air filter and discovered 1 or 2 injector seals are gone everything is covered in gunk. I ordered new washers etc wont be available until Monday so I will clean up everything today. Maybe this is causing it to be hard to...

An update for those
interested. I have probed and tested and established that the ECU is now definitely receiving a signal from the clutch switch. I could even feel a difference on the test drive with engine rpm seeming to not fall off as rapidly when making a gear change, resulting in much smoother progress and easier shifting.

However...

It was the 'turning over quickly' that made me think there was low compression Chris, broken cambelt effect! though obviously not.
