Parts for Classic / Older Citroen, Peugeot Renault Vehicles

This may be of interest to Members with older vehicles where getting parts is a struggle and for those not already aware of the site.

PSA are embarking on a project to provide some supplies of original and re manufactured parts for older vehicles and classics, and have made it a...

Last post

I've used them a couple of times, most recently for a pair of XM rear ram gaiters.
Not cheap, but the only source found for new ones.

The Search box will accept original part numbers, so no need to go ploughing through the long, illustrated lists. Some good stuff there, genuine and new!

P306 TD 1999 Rear Screen heater

Hi, My rear heated screen no longer seems to work.
When you press the button the brighter light appears but fails to stay. You can hear the initial click of the relay.
I take it the big orange one is the rear heater relay?
What could it be, is there a connecter block somewhere that could cause the problem?
Any help would be great? :)

I've had sucess, after prising the old relay out and sorting the contacts out a new relay seems to have solved the problem.

One of the contacts on the old relay got hot and melted the cup it sits in.

Have you got underneath and checked it not rattling against the heatshield? If its not then might be an idea to remove the centre section and give it a shake, see if anything comes out. Yes it can fail MOT.

Last post

What normally happens on a 406 is the centre pipe rots through where it joins the back box & because of the rubbish design & where the hangers are located the hot tailpipe then tilts up & melts the bumper.

How to test glow plugs ? what size fuel line?

First post

Two questions really
1st one and the easiest i hope. What size fuel line does a 405 1.9td have? 8mm or 10mm?

2) Ive looked but cant find it. What is the test to find out which glow plugs have gone using a multi meter without taking any of the glow plug out of the car cos its too cold to fiddle about?

edit: what size are the coolant hoses too...

Last post

Just to add that when you test the glowplug with a meter the resistance should be <1Ohm. Dead ones will be open-circuit=very high resistance. Note that you need to disconnect the connecting cable otherwise you can't test just one glowplug - you are testing them all at once (which will always appear fine unless all four have died).

Do you have the H4 or H7 headlamp set up? Have a look on top of the headlights on the black plastic part, It will say H4 or H7 on them &...

2.1 TD - Intercooler

by Adstar » 23 Nov 2005, 14:53

First post

Thanks to a very light work load I have a lot of time for random thoughts at the moment.

My most recent one is: If the block and basic mechanics of the 2.1 TD engine is the same as the 1.9, why does it not have the intercooler?!

My initial guess is that it has something to do with either the workings of the 12v head, or the limited space under...

My little tree is quite nice. Lots of bananas for monkeys like me...

I finded it nestling next to the radiator.

Just shows I should check my random thoughts before I ask too many questions!

I wonder what I will think of next!

Whilst the duty is *paid* retrospectively, you do have to be registered before using it, or even putting it anywhere near your tank. Whilst reports of drivers being arrested at the roadside are grossly exaggerated, Customs and Excise have impounded cars, and imposed hefty fines.

And consider this: would you run on red diesel? No? Vegetable oil is...

Air Box Drilling

by Gotta New Pug » 16 Nov 2005, 02:22

First post

Evening all,
Has anyone ever seen a 406 GLX 2.0 petrol with its air box drilled? I remember when I had my 206 I drilled the box and seemed to get much better fuel economy - although it was all a bit more noisey.
Been thinking about doing my 406 but dont wanna bugger up the air box, I know where to drill the holes and everything but just need...

Last post

If the ideia of filling the filter box with holes is to engure less resistance to air flow, it is definately a wrong ideia.

As said here before, if the air filter box was designed in a certain way it´s because that´s the way it is meant to be. The issue is that there is a filter box and an air tube so that the air that enters the engine is as...

406 gearbox

by smirnofff » 12 Nov 2005, 13:21

First post

does anyone know if it is possible to swap the 406 V6 manual gearbox for a 2.5td manual gearbox?
i wish to improve the gearing on my car to gain a higher top speed.
would it be better to switch to the automatic gearbox?
which gearbox has the longest final drive?
and which is the easiest to swap?
i am in germany for the forseable future and...

Last post

diesel engined cars run at lower revs, but they still have to achieve a similar top speed. so if you attach a higher revving engine to a diesel gearbox the theory is that you will gain a great deal in top speed. the gearbox should easily handle the power as a comparable sized diesel engine gives much more torque.

the question is: will it fit?

306 water leak into boot.

by fastandfurryous » 21 Oct 2005, 18:09

First post

After trying to locate the source of a water leak into the boot of a 1995 306 hatch, I think it's coming from where the rear screen is bonded to the steel of the tailgate.

Is this a common problem? Certainly this leak is getting worse and worse, and short of de-bonding the screen, and re-bonding it, I'm not sure what can be done.

Any advice...

Last post

David,

I had this problem on my 306.

If you take the black plastic cover running along the bottom of the window that covers the wiper motor off, mine was wet.

The relay was badly corroded, so i had to remove the entire wiper assembly. After doing this i cleaned the glass on the boot lid, and put a bead of silicon around where the wiper motor...

Hasard Pilot Lamp

Hello everybody,
Just want to know how to proceed to change the pilot lamp of the Hasard Switch located on the dash board. When I switch on the tail lamp, the switch does not light up.

Now I've forgotten whether it should be on.... I guess so.

Can you please help?

Hello
I bought a 205 xld on 91 H plate showing 148k miles on clock
there is no temp gauage but I know there is a temp sensor somewhere and it has a 'STOP' warning light if the engine heats up. my question is how easy or difficult to put a temp gauage and will I be able to use that sensor for the gauage? if yes where is the sensor? and do these...

I did this job fifteen years ago on a new BX which I bought, and your engine is very similar. Look on top of the thermostat housing. You'll maybe see two senders, but it could be that there's only one, with the other hole being filled by a screwed plug. If you are lucky, the sender unit which comes with your thermometer kit will fit the thread in...

405 TD failed MOT - smoke test

In my experience,a good injector cleaner like Millers Diesel+,used a few days beforehand,a new air filter,and the old Italian tune up,before going for the test,works wonders.
I've never had a car fail emissions using the above method.

Ah well... worth asking!

405 1.9D cooling system problem.

by dymchurch405 » 19 Nov 2005, 14:05

First post

Ok i've had this problem now since i practically got the car. Its done 5k miles with these symptoms and now the weather is heading for the worse i would like to get it sorted once and for all.

Basically once bled and flushed, the car will eventually lose water after around 1000 miles, going just below the low coolant level.

If i top up,...

Last post

Yes, sorry, this is indeed head gasket. The 1.9D engine can fail it's head gasket very very slowly, giving exactly the symptoms you've described.

I once had a head gasket fail on a 405 1.9D and it took 15k miles to completely fail.

It could well have failed just 45k miles after being done , it depends entirely on how well it was done before. If...

406 HDi - slipping clutch

by dvhttn » 18 Nov 2005, 20:53

First post

Hi Chaps,

Did a search but didn't find anything too relevant. A mate has a 406 HDi 90 Estate and the clutch has just started slipping. He's a mite miffed as he's not had it long, though he got it cheap off a mate who's a dealer.

Anyhow, the slipping occurs just when you'd expect it too. Hard acceleration (though everything is relative with a 90...

Last post

If it's anything like my 306 the auto adjuster is part of the clutch cable and can seize.
maybe worth a check.

Hi, Just acquired this car and very clean it is too. However I have a miss fire for the first 10 minutes when clod. When hot is is fine. Coil packs measure 1.3 ohms primary each but there is a very high resistance between the secondary and anything., Is there an arch gap in these Sagem coils that causes this. Any ideas on what the miss fire may be...
