Heater/blower motor just stopped working. I cant find relay or resistor.

No fuel getting to injection rail. Andy told me to listen for the pump at rear of vehicle. I can not hear it running. What is the the next thing to do please? I have checked all the fuses under the steering wheel compartment and check all push connections under the bonnet.
If I pour a little fuel into the induction pipe it runs OK for a second....

Terry .

hi there, i have only just finnished the 406 and went for my first drive round the block, it drove very well until it started to rain and my wipers didnt work, i returned to my house (slowly) i did not have my multimeter so i went straight for the fuse, i took old one out and it looked fine but i replaced it anyway as i did wipers worked once and...

I'm doing my head gasket, and i've got to the point where i remove the head bolts, but i was expecting to use my torx drivers to remove them, but its the exact opposite that i need, a quick google search has shown i need a torx socket to undo them, but does anyone know what size i need ?

I'd rather but 1 decent quality individual torx socket,...

Car is a 1993 (Phase 2) 405 1.9TD estate, with the later-type ABS.

Last week, during torrential rain, I noticed the brake pedal seemed hard and the brakes rather grabby . The ABS warning light was not lit. When I got home, I switched off the car - but continued to hear a rapid ticking noise from the under the bonnet.

The source of the noise is...

I had to bypass mine on my 205TD last year due to chasing air ingress around the system (it was also entering in the fuel primer too)

To cut a long story short, I bypassed the fuel heater and replaced the fuel filter / head with one of something else (I got it new from Ebay,...

if your 306 hatch back fails its MOT on rear seat belts not returning, it might not just be a replacement required,

Hi everyone, this is my first post and i was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem i have on my newly aquired 306 2.0 XSi.

I bought it a few days ago from a guy who worked at a car dealership. He had recently had the headgasket done (properly im told, having the head skimmed, new timing belt etc). Anyway, when i went to view the car it...

Hi Folks

I'm new here , and new to Peugeot ownership. I have just been screwed, having recently bought an 806 which turns out to have a couple of problems not least the head gasket has blown. Its a 1997, 2 litre petrol.

There is water in the oil, and bubbles coming up through the coolant. I don't think it has overheated though as the needle...

Hello,
I'm fitting a new belt but can't get it over all the pulleys and sprockets. I start at the crankshaft then up over the idler pulley then the fuel injector pump, then the camshaft then my wife holds the belt in position while I feed it over the water pump and finally try to ease it over the tensioner pulley.

It so nearly goes over the final...

Hi,
Whilst spending a not inconsiderable amount of hours under my car fixing things, I noticed that the rubber block of my engine movement limiter has all but disintegrated.
I would very much like to get this fixed, but I am unsure of what I need to get. Is it just a new rubber block, or a more integrated assembly. Any advice on helping to get...

Hello.

I have a 1990 Peugeot 1.1 with the TU1 engine. The gearbox is really starting to whine. I've been looking around for a replacement gearbox from a 205 but there don't seem to be many around any longer.

I know the 106 and Citroen AX use the same engine. Does anybody know if the gearbox from either of these would fit as a direct...

My 405 has knackered wishbone bushes. I hear it's a nightmare to fit a new bush to the existing wishbone, and that ideally you need a press. Even then it's not easy.

I spoke to a garage who said it may well be more economical to buy new arms with the bushes prefitted rather than pay them to fit new bushes.

Any tips on fitting new bushes, or...

Hi,

The N/S (passenger) wing mirror was damaged whilst parked recently. The cap is broken, and the black underside. Unfortunately, I couldn't locate just the underside on it's own so I've got an official replacement wing mirror.

Anybody got any schematics/diagrams/pointers for replacing one of these please?

Hi Guys,

I've just been out for a drive and whilst waiting for the demist to clear the windows I noticed the drivers side mirror steaming. On closer inspection the mirror was warm to the touch and there was an orange light on the electric control knob.

Is this heating automatically controlled? If not how do I control it?

OK as people may have guessed I have been hunting for a new car.

Hi all, anyone here ever tried to replace the diaghragm for the diesel primer that sits on top of the diesel filter ? if so, how did it go/ are the parts readily available ?

Hi there,

Message for Lawrence 1973

I have a Citroen with the Bosch as3 Vp20 pump with the Body aromour and Citorjim has informed me you have a similair pump. My current problem is removing the small hollow pin on the armour above the stop solenoid.

Jim suggests you have removed this in the past and maybe able to give me a tip or 2.

Hello All,

After all my hard work!

A couple of days ago, I collided with a recovery lorry not far from home. It was snowing and in hind sight, I wish I hadn't gone out.

The lorry lost control in the snow and swerved to avoid stopped vehicles straight into on coming traffic (me). I was very lucky...I was hardly moving but the lorry hit me at a...

hey all been looking at these for a while real smart and loads of kit but cheap at half the price.

looking at a 2.0 hdi exclusive i think it was :P

Is there any major problems with them or do they just depreciate like a brick ? ?

cheers

Hi I got a P reg 306 D Turbo, when I bought the car the immobiliser had been bypassed the car worked fine for 3 months but now the immobiliser has started working again. I got a keypad type immobiliser any ideas to bypass it or to remove it?

Thanks

For a while now my sisters 405 has been playing up. Every so often it would start kangerooing, losing power, cutting out at junctions and revving itself up and down when the clutch was dipped. Other times it would run fine.

She had an auto electrician look at it and he said it was either a sensor or the coil pack. I had a suspicion it was the...

Not sure if this should of gone in the Citroen forum as its the same really. My first post ( hello :D ) too.

Anyway, I'd be interested to know people's opinions, I've always found the DW8 to have less power than the XUD (obviously, I'm talking about the normally aspirated variant of the XUD) and slightly less economical. To be fair, the DW8 was a...

I'm quite ticked off about this actually:

Turn it back and forth from start a couple of times and I can hear a relay (a small one, not the starter solenoid) clicking...

Hi

I am sure that this is acommon problem!

The reomte central locking on my '96 405 GLX estate has stopped working. For a while before it stopped I was having to press the key button harder and harder to get it too work so I suspect the key os at fault. I changed the battery and the little red light comes on?

Its not the end of the world but...

I've spoken to the owner and he said it cuts out and his mechanic has said it's the needle lift sensor in the injector (a nice easy job)

or could this just be blocked filter or an air issue (which is still an easy...
