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

Hi
If you mean the steering wheel controls then you may want to look at any of the Sony models that support their wired remote stalk thingy, these have a plug on the back which you can get an adaptor to fit between the car controls and the stereo.

A friend of mine is buying a new stereo head-unit for his car, but is seriously considering changing his car soon for a 306 and so wants to buy one that will be compatible with the 306 radio remote. Does anybody know which makes / models of stereo head-unit are compatible with the 306 factory fit remote control?

Vibrating 205@ 65-75mph

by Dave Burns » 01 Sep 2002, 19:57

First post

Even though you have said its road speed related I'm a bit inclined to think it could be engine speed related.
Have you tried using a lower gear to determine this, if not then drive along in fourth gear and if its engine related the symptoms should be apparent at a lower speed.
Also can you feel anything through the gear lever when it occurs.

205 Diesel problem

Hi Dowdy - My guess would be that you have water in your fuel filter. Some, but not all 205's have an indicator light showing when this happens. At the bottom of the filter housing there is a drain screw to drain off any water, but since the easiest way to get to it is to remove the unit, it would probably be best to change the filter at the same...

205 front disks - seized?

by Dave Burns » 16 Aug 2002, 23:31

First post

The pad's will remain in light contact with the disc on any car, its just the nature of the beast.
There is nothing to pull the piston back nor does it need to be pulled back, the piston advances as the pad wears which means that self adjustment is built in without the need for it to be designed in.

It is due to the assembly`s of both being connected and one is touching the other. As long as the choke goes back in then it will be OK, get someone to have a quick look to see that everything is OK when you have time (and a mate who can look for you while you push the throttle, engine off i would advise)

First post

This is a bit of a wild guess, but seeing as PSA seem to use the same components in all their cars, I would guess that the rubber sealing rings where the pipes feeding the heater matrix attach to the matrix have dried out and are letting cooling water run down the inside of the bulkhead. It's very common on Cit's. And is easily fixed.

Whistling 306 TD

by Dave Burns » 14 Jul 2002, 19:27

First post

Intercooler to manifold gasket has also grown a bit on my ZX.
Not sure about the rubber tube, it could be a vacuum tube for an EGR valve, or to supply a vacuum to a cold start fast idle diaphragm, if it's anything like on the Xantia, can't see it being for fuel but then you do have a fuel leak by the sound's of it.

Last post

Okay, the engine has had a whistling/siren like noise on acceleration/revving. I took off the intercooler to find that the rubber gasket between the intercooler and the manifold appears to be too large to fit into the recess. Is this the wrong one fitted or has the seal just become this way?
Also there is a skinny rubber tubing which I found just...

406 auto diagnostics light coming on

by JohnD » 15 Jul 2002, 00:29

First post

Hi Stanley - I haven't a clue as to what the trouble is, but you've made me nervous because I have the same engine of the same year in a Xantia. I've heard that sometimes a dodgy auto-diagnostic light can be cured by disconnecting the battery for five minutes or so. If you try that be prepared to loose the radio code.

Last post

My 406 2.1td estate (1998) has recently developed a problem. Whilst driving along, the auto-diagnostics light will come on and the engine will slow right down - the rev's will drop to tick-over point. If I keep my foot in exactly the same position on the throttle, the light will stay on and the car will continue to slow but, once I move my foot on...

406 Coupe Air Conditioning

Usual place on Cits and Peugeots is at the rear of the engine compartment underneath. If your car has a sound-proof panel underneath, take it off and have a look. The pipe is usually black plastic about the same diameter as a garden hose.

Hi
My air conditioning is starting to smell rather badly a smell which our American cousins call 'swamp smell'. Apparently it is caused by a blockage in the condenser drain pipe. Does anyone know where the condenser drian pipe is and if it is under the car how does one get access? The cure for 'swamp smell' is the blow the drain pipe clear.

1.9 gti temp concern

hi timb,
i think temp at 90 deg should be alright. I used to drive a 605 while in UK and temp was normally between 88 - 92. when i brought thenbcar back to Malaysia temp was a constant 100. was running around with that temp for quite a while. lucky engine still works fine. solved the problem here by fitting a larger radiator and dual fans.now...

I've just bought a 1.9 gti 205. I've been taking it around all night and i've noticed that the temp gauge is a little on the high side. I'm not sure if its normal or its me being paranoid. it sits just under half way when driven soft. but it goes right up to half way when in traffic or driven hard. It also heats up quite quickly compared to other...

Hello all,
Having solved my alternator problem (faulty voltage regulator), another problem has surfaced on my 205 diesel. At roughly the same time as getting my alternator seen to (some three weeks ago I think), I had the oil changed in the manual gearbox. The nearside driveshaft had been leaking oil since a little while, so it was sealed up, and...

Please someone help him, cos he's tried everything.

My 106 has been misfiring since i bought it. It mildly does it when cold, and lots in traffic once the engine is really hot. Its has been serviced well and i tried another coil, and the plugs are fine. I have also cleaned out the injectors but not difference. Could the ingition module (relay) be faulty?

Have you checked if there is a live going to the motor from the switch, there may be an earth fault, if so there will be a return live, both terminals on the motor would become positive if no negative is available due to a bad earth point.
Without any further information to go on you will have to trace the wire's back until contact is made with...

I have 1997 406 and the electric passenger window does not go up or down. I have checked the obvious things such as the fuses and also checked the motor with an external supply and it is functioning correctly. However, it cannot be operated with either the driver or passenger switch. If one of these switches is not working properly, will this...

Sam,
Auto painting is not the big deal the pros would have you think. The basic rule of thumb is that perfect is almost good enough when it comes to preparation and time has to be irrelevant.
I once painted a car many years ago & when I traded it in, the car dealer commented that he had never seen original paint so good on a car of that age.

309 Thingie

by JohnD » 26 Jun 2002, 00:48

First post

Hi Dave - My experience is confined to 205s and BXs but what you are probably looking at is a vent valve for the fuel system. If it's in the way of your towbar fitting I would think it could be moved slightly.

Last post

I`m just fitting a S/H towbar to my old 309 (1.3 petrol)
Clipped onto the rear crossmemeber is a black thingie with a pipe attatched. It is about 1.5 long and similar diameter, the pipe runs up the wheel arch.
Is this the tank breather??
Just wanted to know if its position is critical as it is in a place where the towbar needs to fit.

For exhaust work why not choose one of the many exhaust centres. Most carry sufficient stock to do instant fitting.

I just bought a MI16v for a good price, but it has a blowing exhaust.

disconnecting bendix abs

by NiSk » 12 Jun 2002, 19:25

First post

Assuming the fusebox on the 605 resembles it's sister car (Citroën XM) all you need to do is remove fuse 1. This disables the ABS computer and gives you good, old fashioned brakes. The only problem is that come MOT-time you'll either have to replace the fuse or explain to the tester why hte ABS warning light is permanently on.
Even if the 605 has...

hi guys,
