When the first HDi's appeared, the injectors were a lot more money than that from what I recall.

No codes (you used Planet/Diagbox for this or something else?) I'd half suggest perhaps the MAF sensor is acting up.

You can unplug this (engine / ignition off!) then start it up and try it with it unplugged. Note there will be a potential loss of...

Wow thanks for all that, A lot a great data there! Will try to find some time to get it all going! thanks very much!

You can get some of the bits on ebay have a look see

nice to hear of another 405 D owner. Hope it goes well.

My fella will defo have an ignition too and also I believe that any period Pug diesel (not petrol) ignition barrel 'll fit. A few years back I successfully put a 505D barrel in a Mk1 106D

No , manual

No I don't I'm afraid, though the car is going to have a walnut blast before xmas :)

Hi can anyone help me with the torque setting for the camshaft spocket bolt
Many thanks

What vehicle / year / engine ? :)

As your 'vehicle' in your profile says : 306dts 206 petrol

But I can't give you an answer from that as it would vary if its the 306 on if its an XUD/DW8/DW10 (HDi) and the 206 it could be TUJ2/TUJ4 (16v) as well as...

I remember in the 307 handbook it says that you need to be in 4th at a minimum of 45mph. There's also a reference to a minimum of 2100rpm.

In practice, as the other guys said, you need to be doing the top end of 60 in 4th for a good half hour or more.

The engine also needs to be hot BEFORE the attempt of burning off the soot. It's useless...

By the way, is it your good self who gets a mention in PC magazine this month helping out with another Activa?

Yes, it is!!! That is I....

The pictures of the sphere tester and ELIT diagnostic tester are mine...

Everything seemed soundly connected and secure, the engine bay was immaculate.

The chap reported the physical feeling of the engine pinking, so I'm fairly sure that there is the issue of the knock within the engine, in addition to the possible sensor malfunction.

Should start without them.

That's what I thought really, just hanging on there might be a crumb of comfort for the OP!!

I usually change mine at half the recommended mileage which is 12,500 miles for mine, so around 6,00 miles.

PSA done away with the 'double' relay around 2001/2002 with the introduction of Com2000, the double relay is now integrated into the under bonnet fuse box (or BSM unit as its known).
That's something I'd not realised actually. I found one on my TUD5B 106 (the late one with the electronic advance pump that did not work too well) and a huge ECU on...

Dealer is not a bad choice for this kind of part to be honest, as at least you know (if they get the details right!) it will fit.

This kind of reminds me a bit of 'motor factors' 306 rear flexi hoses that did not fit estate models as they were too short. Estates have a longer hose...

Link??

Not interest in other car, I like the 406 is good enough I will buy one day when I find good one.

Glad it's sorted ;)

Hi darbuck OK thanks for your advice. i will try to check vacuum hoses and see how . Will update you again. Thanks!

Ok all, so why is the reading higher when the engine is turned off, as far as I know the tester didn't use the double pull as said by sticky. People may say whats wrong with the handle between the seats, I suppose that's the way car makers are going and sooner or later everyone will more then likely experience it.
Looking on t'internet about this...

I don't think that the 306 is new enough to have a BSI.

It won't have a BSI.
Like I said above its best to find an old school Peugeot Tech` with the old Peugeot Diag2000 diagnostic tool,plug it in to check fault codes,clear and reset ECU.

The diagram on Servicebox is about the same as the ones in my old tech data anyway, there's nothing more I can really add.

I may have some of the tech instruction / repair data but that will just be how to take it out and put it back. :)

Are you sure the handle is complete and the 'arm' (for want of a better description) is intact ?

Its been a...

Cheers homer. The battery is brand new.i didnt know locking the car with the key didnt set the alarm.

I just cleaned the windscreen of my 406 over the sensor area with meths, it works much better now.

ESP/ASR and handbrake faults coming up on ours turned out to be the EGR valve - genius bit of programming that! You will need to get it on a proper diag computer to see what is going on.

I thought the pressure switch inhibited all further actions if the system was low/empty.

I had a Volvo 340 many years ago... Great car and loved it to bits until the propshaft splines failed... That wrote it off...

Yours was a lovely result!

Ouch that's a shame, they are surprisingly quick for such a heavy car and while they're not agile as such I found the handling was well balanced and planted. I saw an indicated 130 on my 1.7...

Do you know if it's a vacuum or electrically actuated turbo? I don't know anything about this engine, but in my experience on the diesels, the turbo may still be ok. The valves/actuators are known to stick, so start there and see what you find. Check the wiring, and check the actuator for gunk etc.

The car going into limp mode could be many things, which is why getting the fault codes read on Peugeot Planet or Diagbox will give you more of an indication.

trustme who uses makes Peugeot keys. his number is 0-7-5-9-9-5-8-7-1-1-9.

had chat with him, he is unfortunately too far, he is in bradford i am near watford

Thanks Jimmy. The last 8 digits are 55088478

Think I'm swaying towards a dead compressor to be honest, as I've since bought another slow speed resistor from peugeot at a cost of £56 plus a new pressure sensor with no avail.

When I turn the aircon on the clutch kicks in and it carries on spinning but there's just nothing cold. That's all that's...

I think the revised clamp is for the EGR valve to the cooler - the turbo/ DPF clamp is just a standard (well for PSA) spring type affair. It is easy to misalign the DPF / turbo when refitting the clamp - happened to me when I did the turbo filter on my 307 - and the C4 Picasso with the same engine had to go back to the garage after the clutch...

my bad luck ,,, couldn't find the TCU from the donor

is there anything i can change from old box to new one ??

We know that the transmission ECU will throw an error if the gear ratios are wrong. In the case of my old Xantia V6, the transmission was inadvertently rebuilt with a differential gear set from an HDI, and that caused...

Mackie's should know what they are doing, they are the people who recondition 4hp20 torque converters.

The only way to check the switch is to have the car connected to a Lexia, which would give you the fault codes anyway.

Great. :)

The normal cause of this type of 'problem' is usually the dimmer rheostat being open circuit or unplugged. As the tracks inside it wear its posible to get certain positions where there's no continuity = no dash / panel lights.

405 (and where fitted 205's) were a bit of a culprit for this as the dimmer wheel was located on the underside...

Surely you could flog an XSI on easily given its basically the gti6 with one less gear?

Is this an 8 or 16 valve engine?

Peter

Okay so I finally got round to taking off the belt and running the engine. First thing I noticed is the alternator pulley has a bit of a squeak when turned by hand, and the noise is indeed completely gone when the engine is running without the belt. I was thinking of just replacing the alternator with a used ebay unit, just to get it done.

Side...

Mine has same problem,I thought it was coming from the two pipes so I took them out and replaced two of rings but it still seems to be losing fluid.

On a side note, Re: the 405/hard tyre thread. I've used jolly-good-car-spares on Ebay as well, and I too would say they live up to their title.

Whats the point of all this winding up. If you take safety to the extreme we should all drive s60s or XC90s and keep our speeds below 50Km/hr.
The 305 can go on for ever. Engines indestructible. Some gearbox problems. Occasional rear swinging arm bearing changes as per C5 etc. Simple reliable electrics. Just look out for rust.

Many thanks I am sure it's the alternator pulley since I have changed to rest already.

Is there a conversion pulley?

Turns out I just needed to fiddle around with PP a bit more. Works great now ;) Thanks everyone for your help!

cor, yeah; had a good look and thankfully its fine. The dangers of not having anyone to actually guide you through a job.
Nice to be called a lad, makes me feel almost young again, Birthday soon and I'm old enough to find the idea far from exciting :-D
