Squeaks!

by rossd » 03 Jun 2003, 00:05

First post

Sounds like a dry joint somewhere, the 406 doesnt use the torsion bar type suspension the smaller pugs use, so you can be assured its not the terminal radius arm bearing wear!
Take a look underneath at all the rubber mounts/joints/bushes, its most probably one of these.

Hi folks

Any suggestions???

MOT Fail on smoke

by JohnD » 02 Jun 2003, 23:55

First post

Put your new air filter in and also 2x or 3x the recommended amount of Dieselclean or Redex Diesel. Try to delay the retest for a day or so to give the treatment time to do its stuff. Take the car for a good thrashing down a motorway prior to the test. Make sure the temperature is up when its tested, but they should do that.

Last post

The 306 has just failed the MOT on its smoke emissions, an average of 3.31 when the limit is 3. Im going to change the oil and filter along with the air filter and take it back tomorrow, but the tester said that instead of decreasing, the emissions were increasing as the test progressed, 3.25, 3.31, 3.38.

Clean the pump off and positivly identify the leak, or you can well expect to keep forking out until its eventualy nailed.
If its only leaking, why the huge quote for what should only be a sealing washer or o ring replacement, something most diy'ers could do providing there isn't the complication of an immobiliser involved.
What pump is it anyway.

by DLM » 12 May 2003, 15:08

First post

If you feel it's worth it then £50-ish would get you a manual choke conversion kit (unless you can find an unwanted, reduced one on a factor's shelf or one in a scrappy attached to a car).
Alternatively, there are 2 things to check (haven't done this myself so it's all theory)
(1) Bleed the coolant, leaving the top of the autochoke feed till last...

Last post

When came into possesion of the car two weeks ago I done the usual things new plugs, distributer cap, oil change etc. The solex auto choke came already adjusted!?! and is of no use at all. Although the car starts ok when cold if you keep the accelerator at about 2000 revs for 2-3 mins but then runs lumpy until the engine warms up then its ok. Is...

shot water pump?

by Dave Burns » 08 May 2003, 16:49

First post

Was every thing ok up until this moment, had there been any work carried out on the cooling system recently.
This could be a water pump leak or a water leak at some other point in the cooling system, but it could also be as sinister as the cylinder head gasket.
You need to make sure the cooling system is free of air by bleeding it, this may...

Last post

Pulled up the other day in my 306....
Coolant was coming from the expansion tank.
I assumed it was an air lock so topped up the water and released the bleed valves and let it sit.
Put all the valves back and put the filler cap back on...
Started her up and let her idle until she got up to about 92 degrees.
Pumped up the heater but no hot air....

Difficulty of replacing a turbo?

First post

You need an inlet/exhaust manifold gasket, a turbo to exhaust manifold gasket and depending on the type of oil feed connection at the block a new o ring, but some of these are just a flared metal compression type fitting.
It's not going to be easey and you need it on stands or better still on ramps to get at bolts from underneath, I prefer ramps...

I have a 306 Dturbo and I will be putting a new turbo (Garrett T2) on at the weekend (as a last resort). How hard is it going to be? What is involved and what gaskets do i need to replace?

J-reg 309 with TU engine - starting problems

Enquiring on behalf of a friend located some distance away who runs one of these (J-reg 309 with 1360cc TU engine). Starting from cold is either first-time or long-winded and problematic. Friend is not enormously mechanically-minded + I've only observed problem in the dark - prolonged starter cranking will eventually start it, probably after very...

Lack of power on hills

by JohnD » 01 May 2003, 00:50

First post

Maybe a compression test first, then a check of the pump timing. I take it you've already checked for dirty fuel filter and injectors. Also for binding brakes.

Last post

I have recently bought by auction a 106 1.4 diesel. The head has now been skimmed tested and refitted, the gasket was absolutely clapped!
My problem is a lack of power on hills,evident also before the head job, and there is (in my opinion) quite a bit of crankcase pressure.My 205 diesel has none. I know what power to expect from this engine as I...

205 diesel conversion

by rossd » 01 May 2003, 14:00

First post

This would work, but to be honest the only time the intercooler may get too warm is when in traffic, the lack of air flowing across it causes it to act as a heat sink. I'm assuming the intercooler is mounted on top of the engine, in which case have you got the ducting which directs air over the 'cooler? If not, this would be more effective than...

i recently converted ma 205 gti to a 1.8 td. it has intercooler and have thought of adding water into the intercooler will it improve performance. I was told i could use the washer motors from a ford transit van and all i would need to be are the nozzles

Morning,
Does anyone know which relay is which, or have suggestions on how I can work it out? Neither the handbook supplied with the car nor Haynes manual help.
I think my intermittent wiper relay's duff, but can't tell which it is (see previous post). If I bought a new relay, would it at least be the same colour, and hence narrow down the process...

306 (1995) Brake pad wear sensor cable

by JohnD » 29 Apr 2003, 00:27

First post

The wires going from each pad should connect by means of a push-in connector situated near the bottom of the strut. In my experience they are unreliable - they either fail to give a warning of wear, or display the warning light because of a short. I much prefer to rely on periodic inspection.

Last post

I've just been inspecting my brakes and noticed that the cable leading from the brake pad wear sensor connector into the car has broken at the grommet holding it into the plate on the suspension strut. Now it looks to me like this cable continues into the loom at the top of the wheel arch and isn't simply plugged into the loom so I'm thinking a...

Check parkers for latest prices.
When looking at the car, make sure its been serviced regularly, with regular coolant changes/checks. Ask if the head gasket has ever been replaced. Check the coolant level, it should be full and a nice green/greeny-blue colour. The oil will always be black in a diesel engine of this type, but check it isnt as thick...

thinking of buyng a 306 dturbo later this year. Any major things to look out for?
going for a 1994 ish model, what would be the going price for an average mileage for that year, say 70-80K.

Did one years ago while the hub carrier was still on the car, wasn't easey, better to take the carrier off and get it on a solid bench or just take it to some outfit with a press.
Doesn't matter what you do to get the old one out as long as you don't damage the carrier obviousely, but the new one must only be driven back in using its outer race or...

406 engine tapping

Hi all , i'm about to buy a '99 406 2.0 estate auto , however it has a tapping noise from the top of the engine. It has done 95,000 miles and appears in good condition with full history. I've been told ( not by the dealer ) that 406's have noisy fuel injectors , but it sounds like the classic tappet noise. Can anyone suggest otherwise?
Or give me...

turbo diesel tuning

by simon moore » 24 Apr 2003, 22:15

I have a 405 GRDT and use it a lot for towing. Is there a way of increasing the turbo boost by adjusting the wastegate? I seem to remember this was a tweak on Petrol turbo cars which increased turbo boost and was wondering if i could do this on mine? If so what do i need to do to the wastegate rod?

Coolant flushing 1.5D 106

by JohnD » 23 Apr 2003, 00:32

On the 1.5D engine there's only the one bleed screw which is set into the hose near the header tank. The fan cuts in at 96C. Mine very rarely does anything.

Hi,
I am just giving my mums 1.5 D a quick service, and thought I would do the
coolant, it hasn't been done as long as she has had the car (a few years
now). First thing, when I bled the system, the coolant came out in two
colours - green and purple (probably not good). So I decided to flush the
rad to remove any crud that could be there.

Dturbo not boosting.

by mgoodlad » 22 Apr 2003, 19:48

First post

My 306 gradually lost turbo kick until it drove like a normally aspirated car. Turned out to be a hole in the pressure sensing pipe which goes from the middle front of the intercooler to the side of the fuel injection pump. Very easy fix (new bit of pipe and 2 jubilee clips). Another guy I heard of with the same car had the same problem after...

Last post

I have posted before about the lack of turbo kick. I hooked a boost gauge up to my car and it was struggling to read even 0.1bar (80MPH-90MPH with foot flat to the floor).
I jacked the car to find out what turbo i have, i have the Garret T2 version.
I beleive that the turbo is working as i can here a whistle at about 3kRPM and upwards with the...
