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? 微信图片_20251024002629_33_148.png

406 TD timing belt

The only problem that you may have is with the belt for the air conditioning, etc.. as well as the lack of room down the side of the engine bay. did mine on a 405TD with aircon and it was a bugger.

If its a 954cc it should be a TU9 if its a 1988 car.There was an earlier version of this engine for cars >1988 and that was the XV8 engine.
To spot which engine you have: the later one (TU9) will have a black painted rocker cover, the earlier one is a laid back type engine with gearbox in the sump (like a mini).

205 ignition switch

First post

Never heard that one before, If I remember correctly the return spring is in the electrical part of the switch and not the lock it's self.
Going back a year or two I think you insert the key and push a pin in on the side, the lock barrel then slides out.
Good luck

I have a 1998 106 diesel zest 3 and am in need of a new set of dashboard clocks, the only trouble is, i cant source a used set and Peugeot want over £300 for some!!!
The clocks are, made by 'jaeger', speedo isrun from a sensor, not a cable and the instruments are rev-counter, coolant temp gauge and fuel gauge. Can anybody help me find some. Or...

I keep on getting misfiring on my mi16, it happens mostly at 70 - 80mph on motorways.
I had this before and discovered the cambelt was loose! Now assuming that darn cambelt is loose again (I'll check it tonite) does this mean the cambelt tensioner is knackered??

Starting Problems - when "Hot"

by KRISKARRERA » 05 Dec 2001, 01:47

First post

I'm sure someone will say I'm totally wrong but my theory has always been that the engine senses the heat and so doesn't supply as much fuel as when you start the engine from cold. That's certainly how it was with my old 1.6 Carburetor 405 with a dodgy automatic choke.

Noisy Power Steering - Yep it's the Mi16 again!

by P.Smith » 04 Dec 2001, 13:54

First post

Kris,
Me again
Apparently you should't hold power steering on full lock for very long!!! (Not good 4 it)
Mine makes straining hydraulic noises when i do it for too long....

Last post

On full lock and steering sharply at low speeds the steering makes an awful grating sound (accompanied by a squeel too).
It sounds and feels as though the pinion teeth are jumping along the teeth on the rack, though I hope that's not the case!!!
Anyone had this on their cars?
Thanks in advance,...
Kris

Pug Mi16 hassles...

by P.Smith » 30 Nov 2001, 21:09

First post

Kris,
Might be wrong, but my brother spoke to a Independant Peugeot specialist and they said that the so called idling was normal
My 205 (1.6) idles about 800rpm - 1100rpm when coldish, gets better as it gets warmer
How iratic are you talking?

Last post

I own a 1992 1.9 Mi16 (non-cat)
I could right a book on the troubles I've had with this car!!! Mind you things weren't helped much by a Peugeot dealer - they didn't tension a new cambelt properly!!
I'm suffering all the usual Peugeot problems:
-Irratic idle
-Pinking
-Stalling
-dodgy sensors left right and centre!!
-interior falling to bits...

The faster I go the more fuel I have

by P.Smith » 30 Nov 2001, 21:04

First post

I own a 205 (1.6), and whenever i get to about 1/3 left on the fuel guage, its flickers about all over the place.(Sometimes on reserve when i know there is loads left!!)
To get round this i go by the milage on the re-set counter... (46 Litres gets me about 330 miles, which is roughly 32/33 mpg
Not really much help, but you are not the only...

Last post

When I'm driving at speeds of 50 plus the fuel gauge show thats I have about 15 to 20% more than when I am going slower or have stopped. It's not a major problem but I was wondering if anybody had any ideas ?

What viscosity of oil are you using?
Some synthetics are great but very thin so it's more likely to seep all over the place through wee gaps.
But who knows? I'm no expert on all this.
How is the car performing?
If it's performing as good as it ever has don't worry.

GTI rough idle / stalling

by Aubrey » 16 Feb 2002, 02:36

First post

As a quick temp fix, I tried cleaning the butterfly valve on the end of the throttle cable by spraying some carb clearner into it whilst holding the valve open, this worked for a while, however havent come up with anything yet - except driving around with my foot covering the throttle pedal whilst slowing down.......

Last post

Okay, I know that just about everyone with a 205 / 309 GTI (or anything else with an XU injection engine) has this problem... rough idling, stalling when cold (or even when warm) - but does anyone know WHY? Or more specifically, what goes wrong with age that causes these symptoms? I assume these engines didn't do it when they were new, or nobody...

Is my air con working?

by allmond » 11 Nov 2001, 20:17

First post

Hi
A couple of things to try. When you switch the air con on, do you hear a relay-type click from under the bonnet as the elctromagnetic clutch engages on the aircon pump?
Secondly, do the ordinary rdiator fan(s) come on when you press the switch?
Also, a bit vague in this cold weather, but drive around with the heater full on and really warm up...

Last post

I bought a 1999 306 LX yesterday. As I understand, when I press the A/C button, I should be able to hear a change in engine revs. However, I don't hear a thing and the rev counter stays put. Is it just not engaging because it's cold outside? I need to check that it's working properly before the warranty runs out in 3 months time.
Paul.

Engine Pinks

by Dave Burns » 12 Nov 2001, 00:31

First post

Weak mixture and too far advanced ignition timing are the most comon causes of pinking but there can be other's like carbon deposits causing hot spots leading to pre-ignition and hence pinking, check timing and injection, if they are ok a de-coke may be required.

Last post

My 306 XR recently developed engine pink. Never had this before until recently.
The engine pinks under light to moderate loads but there is no significant loss in power. In most cases the pink is very light but the knock becomes serious when the engine is worked excessively like climbing a hill.
I have tried different brands of UL patrol both 95...

diesel starting

by Dave Burns » 31 Oct 2001, 03:25

First post

Starter motors on these and now days most engines are of the pre-engaged type, this means that the pinion gear is pushed along the starter shaft by the solenoid and is engaged with the starter ring gear on the flywheel before the main current is applied, at the end of it's travel the solenoid closes the contacts that allow the main current to pass...

Sometimes our 205 diesel refuses to turn over,not 1st start of day but perhaps when hot after running (often in summer) .The cure seems to be
a) new battery (this cures for about a year despite 3 yr guarantee),
b)waiting for plug heating to finish then rapid switching on off on off on of ignition in attempt to turn engine, one of which...
