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

306 Key Coding

I assume you bought this, as the oldone has worn out/broke.
what you need to do, providing you have the old one, is to take the chip out and place in the new one. This will then disable the immobiliser.

I have recently bought a new IR key plip for my 306 (98 R). I've programmed it for the central locking, but it doesn't start the car, as it has to be coded for the immobiliser. Peugeot want to charge £15 for the code, and £65 + VAT to code it!!

306dt Cooling fan relays

by andycarter » 17 Jun 2004, 01:54

The relays are easy to replace, replacing the entire box is obviously a bigger job.
I think the relay box can be detached fairly easily and this may give you enough room to examine, clean and renew any corroded spade connectors without resorting to stripping all the wiring out.

Last post

Over the past few days I have noticed the engine temperature fluctuating more the usual. When I checked the fans, both were not working. The relay's at the front of the car were corroded. How difficult are these to replace as I intend to change the complete relay box

306 hoses

They're not an item that need to be changed at a predetermined age; unlike a cambelt - at least, not on my four cars. My Xantia is over six years and not showing any signs of needing replacements. My daughter ran a 205 from 1987 till 2002, also without any hose changing. A periodic inspection is all that's required.

Sounds to me like an air leak ( a big one at that ) INTO the fuel system. Check all the joints are sound, expecially around the fuel filter ( as it seems to have got WORSE since changed ).
Next time it stops, use the priming bulb to prime the fuel system. It should then start fairly easily. If this is the case, 95% certain to be an air leak.

Hello guys.
I have a 1991 Peugeot 405 Si. My engine check light comes on in the morning when i start the car. I have noticed that 2 weeks ago especially when it is hot in the morning. It will start, the engine light comes on, then it will stall a little bit. Sometimes it will stop when i push the brake. Someone told me that i might need valve...

306 1.9 d orange warning light on dash???

by joshm » 05 Jun 2004, 19:34

First post

Hi,
If the tank in the lamp icon has a curved base then it's the light saying that you have water in the fuel. You were right to change the filter - maybe if you keep running it for a while the new filter will solve the problem? I'm no diesel expert so I would suggest you find one or wait until a better reply comes from someone else on the board....

Hi,
keep getting an orange warning light flickering on and off on my '96 306 1.9 d - top left hand corner of the dash display.T
The graphic looks like some sort of tank, with liquid at in it, and two outlets at the top on either side. Not on all the time, just doing my head in.
Thought it might be the fuel filter, so changed that, and wasnt as...

clutch bearing and fork set up

by TheWorker » 01 Jul 2004, 02:57

First post

if the bearing is seperate from the clutch, it should just clip on to the arm. if the bearing is attached to the clutch, the arm needs to be at about 45 degrees or so before the box goes in, get another person to line it up at the final push.

Last post

any one got any tips on getting the fork and clutch bearing to marry up,i replaced clutch but having trouble gettin the bearing to marry into the fork,many thanks john

306 TD

by mbunting » 04 Jun 2004, 20:35

First post

Some engines around the R and S reg age have been known to throw a conrod out of the block. Do a search on this and honestjohn for conrod, and you'll find the theory that it's oil related.
Other than that, check the service history, coolant level / condition, and usual checks.

Hi, I'm considering buying a 306td R-reg upwards. Is there anything I should look for? What type of price should I be expecting to pay for one?

Hi,
Does anyone know of a cheap source of front bumpers or a cheap place to get my existing bumper resprayed in the Bournemouth area? The lacquer is coming off in patches all over the existing bumper. How cheap/easy would it be to do it myself?

205 wheel arches

by joshm » 05 Jun 2004, 19:21

First post

Well, I degreased the arches using engine degreaser and applied some clear waxoyl. After leaving it overnight I came down to find the waxoyl was still unset and it looked a bit silly. So I removed the waxoyl again and am in the process of applying black underbody sealant to the arches (carefully masking off the parts I don't want touched - e.g....

Last post

Hi,
I have a white 205 GT ('91) and the wheel arches are also coloured white. It would appear that there is some sort of factoy-applied corrosion protection but I'm wondering whether it would be good advice to re-seal the arches using waxoil or similar. If I do this my guess is that I would have to steam-clean/degrease the arches as they syand...

Fitting GTi alloys to non-GTi 205

by PowerLee » 04 Jun 2004, 22:57

First post

Hi
If you fit some alloys make sure you use the right alloy bolts for the wheels & not the steel bolts you have on the car at the moment.

Last post

Hi all,
I'm considering getting a set of 205 GTi alloys for my GT (essentially an XS with 5 doors), since the steel rims are past ther peak and let the car down a little.
What I'm wondering is whether the ride will suffer drastically if I fit them. I'm happy to consider the 14 1.6 or 15 1.9 rims (obviously the 1.9 ones look nicer!).
Any advice (or...

headlining

First post

Uh oh, there is no easy way to fix that, using copydex will make it look like someone has put something nasty (man juice!) on your headlining, which is not a situation you want to get into! My guess is youll have to take it out and get another one, it can't be that hard to do.....!

Ive had droopy headling ever since i cleaned a couple of months ago, nothing serious just got a little over excited with the water and oxyclean. BUt now its started to come away from the roof. Or rather more acurately the material is coming away from the foam and hanging down from the sunroof area and one of the side windows

No.1...don't trust a French fuel gauge!
The only true way to know what your car does is from a brimmed fuel tank and down to less than a quarter of a tank, calculating the mpg from what it takes to refil upto the brim again. If you then know what it does, you can watch the mileometer go up, as the gauge goes down and make a mental note of what...

205 knocking noise when cornering

by arry_b » 03 Jun 2004, 22:20

I had a Saab 900 that moaned on left handers (so I changed the RH bearing). Turned out it was the LH bearing after all! Maybe worth checking the one that wasn't changed before swapping drive shafts.

Hi all,
My 205 j reg, 1000cc makes noise when cornering (maily Right-hand corners) and a continual grinding type sound. It appears to be getting worse and the wife has started to moan a lot. the recent MOT said that it was the wheel bearing, but after changing this (TWICE!), I have ruled it out. I have heard the 205 has a tendancy to get through...

Bosch Hydraulic ram on accelerator?

by mbunting » 03 Jun 2004, 21:50

First post

Some people just take it off, and claim better responses from the engine.
Scrappies probably won't want to sell you one without the rest of the engine, unless you find one scrapped due to a duff engine !
My previous Xantia didn't have one, and the acceleration / deceleration was jerky on the change.
My current 405 Does have one ( ah, that's what...

Hi folks,
I'm having problems locating a part for my p-reg 406, probabaly cos' I'm not entirely sure what it's called! It's the Bosch hydraulic ram on what I think is the accelerator cable.
