First post

Given the number of 'After-sales campaign' notices concerning Takarta Airbags I have been made aware of when looking up parts from PSA for members, I thought I would post a link to the following documentary that may be informative concerning the issue with these igniters.

According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

Disruption to Parts Service

Do a search on this - there's loads about adjusting rear drums on the Citroen forum.
Don't adust your handbrake via the cable, take the drums off and using the adjuster, bring the shoes closer to the drum so they slightly rub when the drum's back on. It's a matter of trial and error.
Be gentle when taking the drum off the stub axle, the wheel...

First you have to ask yourself how come the gasket has blown. You might have to have the head skimmed.

Make sure you have a guide for tightening sequence or failing that work in a spiral from the centre. You might...

106 heater blower problem

by beezer » 14 Nov 2004, 04:04

First post

My money would be on the switch. I don't think the motor has several windings more like there are resistors involved in the switch circuit which could have burned out. I don't have a wiring diagram for the 106 unfortunately but if it follows the pattern of other Peugeots from that period then it will be as I reckon. How's Bill Badger?

Power steering pump

by beezer » 11 Nov 2004, 16:50

First post

Is your pump driven by a belt from the camshaft at the flywheel side of engine? This is a diesel thing because the injector pump is taking the place of where it tends to be on petrol models. You should still get a scrap one easily enough. I wouldn't pay more than 45 quid for one (and would expect to pay less!).

Last post

i heard that Peugeot power steering pumps are the same on lots of different models.
I think my 205 diesel power steering pump is on its way out.
Does anybody know if it is the same as the ones off other 205/309/405?
If so hopefully I can get one from a scrap yard as I don't have £100 to spare for a new one....
Thanks!

My Peugeot 306 XTDT ( M reg) overheated on the motorway ( Red stop light came on). I pulled off at the next exit, which was less than a mile away, and called the RAC. They diagnosed a air lock in the cooling system. So they refilled it and sent me on my way......40 miles later it overheated again - I caught it as it happened and stopped on the...

Suspention Struts

Nobody know, I'm still scratching my head on how these come out, Hayes book stays see your Peugeot Dealer...so helpful thanks

After returning to the 504 to continue work this week, I heard squelching sounds when I led across the engine. This is very pronounced, and bouncing up and down on the front of the car shows its coming from the struts. My question is would both struts suddenly leak, in one week, after not driving anyware (its not been anyware for 10 years anyway!)...

206 - any good?!?

by bikeboyz » 03 Nov 2004, 02:24

First post

After driving lots of small cars your heading in the right direction, I used to get a rental car 3 times a week for work. Ranking from Don't go there to F.a.b. , was Corsa, Fiesta, Polo, Punto, 206 (& 206 SW).
Merits of these were - Corsa, great 16v 1.2. petrol engine, forget the rest of the car, boring black plastic and stodgy drive.

Hi all,
My g/f is fed up of her old VW Polo and is considering a Pug 206 (I have a 205GT and think its great!).
My question is... are 206's as good as/better than the competition? The alternative at the moment is a Skoda Fabia (looking to spend around £3K).
Also, just how servicable is the 206? Can you still get all the parts and do it yourself...

Peugeot colours...

by kevin » 02 Nov 2004, 17:16

First post

The paint code on my 306 is stamped on one of the suspension turrets and is a four digit code, for example PK3B, Cherry Red.
Your local friendly motor factor will match the paint up using a swatch card as well. I suspect, as with most metallic paints, there are more than one shade to diablo red.

I have a phase 1 metallic 'diablo red' Peugeot 306XT -
Where can I find the colour reference number so that I can get my bonnet re-sprayed in the exact colour?
Thanks

206 Optimal temp

by chriswales6 » 03 Nov 2004, 14:56

First post

I don’t own a 206, but what your describing sounds normal. If the gauge is between 75 and 85 degrees everything is fine, their not that accurate and if you looked at a similar car then it may show a different normal working temperature.
The engine relies on a good air flow through the radiator to cool the water, so in a traffic jam the...

Last post

Does anyone know the optimal temperature of a 206 1.4 LX? Mine seems always stop or increase very slow after reaching about 75 deg. But very the car moves at a low speed like in the traffic jam. It'll will goes up to 90 deg. Is it ok?

Hi
What engine do you have fitted & what year is the 406 in question?
1.9 TD had a auto adjusting cable but the 2.1 TD had a hydraulic set up.

Last post

Just wondering if there is any ajustment on the clutch in my 406 TD?
the clutch is disengaged when the pedal is touched ( right at the top)

1.9td top gear ratio

by kevin » 02 Nov 2004, 17:09

First post

The venerable 1.9td does not have the benefit of ECU control so the HDI plug will not fit.
Could changing the final drive/gearbox ratios answer your problems?

Last post

Hello folks..
I've boosted my 406 1.9td power by upping the turbo pressure and I'm pleased with the result. However, it now feels like it's a bit short on gearing. Does anyone know if a HDi box will drop in? I get ~75mph @3000rpm. I want to have nearer 90mph @3000rpm.
Thanks

Mystery Key

Probably there to allow you to unlock the petrol cap manually if the central locking goes tits up.
And yes that is a alarm warning light. should flash when activated.

Hi everyone

Something else I noticed, on first click of the ignition the fuel gauge rises as normal on second click it goes backwards as though trying to get of the scale (less than ignition off)

Hope you kind people can come up with a few suggestions here to help. As title a 96 306td, I've just dropped the engine back in after having some head work done and engine bay painted. Connected all the electrics back up which was fairly straight forward however when the battery is connected the stop light and brake light come on on the dashboard....

100,000 miles Hdi?

by chriswales6 » 01 Nov 2004, 16:03

First post

Hi,
The commonly held belief is that diesel engines are good for 250,000+ miles and at 100,000 they were just getting into their prime. I bought a two year old 306 with the older 1.9 engine which had done 56,000. Two years and 30,000 miles later the engine exploded, having previously owned 6 petrol cars all of which went over 100,000 miles I...

Due to a growing family i need a big car but i also need to be able to fuel it.
I've narrowed it down to a Peugeot 406 Hdi Estate, the only problem is the mileage of what i can afford.. I am looking at 100,000 miles for around the £5000
I would be grateful if anyone could give their opinion on whether this is a good choice with this mileage on...

306 HDi handbrake

by Dave Burns » 31 Oct 2004, 13:42

First post

Check that the levers on the calipers return fully to their stops, unhook the cables to make sure, if they are part way through their travel due to incorrect cable adjustment there will be a reduced amount of leverage.
While the cables are unhooked push and pull on the inner cable, it should move freely inside its outer sheath, if they do they are...

Hi everyone this is my first post and cry for help
My 306 handbrake has always been poor requiring a real good pull to hold the car on a slope and i leave it in gear just in case. Last year it passed the MOT ok. Its just failed the MOT due to low handbrake efficiency. The tester said it was due to worn discs and pads. I have changed these (the old...
