i have this random problem on my 205 (1991)
ABS is fine, and cleaning the sensors has helped, but every now and then my light won't go out!!!!
I drive down the road about a mile, turn the engine off + on again, and walla it goes out....
Did you get any answers???

Does anyone have an idea on a couple of faults on my 1992 405 1900 GRi
1.. the oil is contaminated with a light brown frothy substance
2.. there is a slight spray of oil on the ht leads and bulkhead ??
i am pretty sure its not the cylinder head gasket but do suspect the engine oil breather pipes which once cleaned out sort the problem for...

I've got to replace the head gasket on my 1.4 pug, so I may aswell replace the cambelt. This is the model that requires special tensioning, but I've heard from a garage that specialises in these engines that 6mm deflection on the longest run of the belt shows its tensioned about right. Is this true???
yep

I have recently re-built the bottom half of this engine and it starts and runs ok. When it is started from cold it fires immediatley and will rev up (if the throttle is pressed on and off) perfectly for about 5-6 seconds. At this point if the throttle is suddenly depressed the engine will hesistate for a second before it actually revs up. This...

If this comes on it doesn't always mean that an air bag has failed. I have had two instances of the warning light coming on.
The first time it was the rotary connector behind the steering wheel which had gone open circuit (and was repairable).
The second time concerned one of the orange two pin connectors right underneath one of the front seats...

Ok, esaiset way to test the wiring to the heated rear window is to carefully pull off the 2 spade connectors that attach to the HRW, and put a lead, or test lamp between them. Then turn on the ignition, and put on the HRW switch, if the lamp you have attached works, theres nothing wrong with the wiring.
These faults are usuaully caused by a...

.... Hmmmn, electrical gremlins. You have made the assumption that the previous Peugeot reoplacements of the alternator and battery were associated with the same problem you now describe, is this the case?
Anyway, the charge light indicates that the alternator is not charging. Have you placed a multimeter across the battery and tested cold...

I have a 1997 R reg 306 xsi 16v model, the air filter in this model is a flat panel filter type but it is kind of wedge shaped as oposed to rectangular. I can't seem to find a repalacement for this apart from buying from a peugeot dealer. can anyone offer any help in finding a replacement?
Thanks in advance

Does anyone know if you can fit a cd changer to my philips 4050 radio :)

If calipers, pads and discs have all been changed, and you are still having this problem, it sounds like the rear brakes are not getting enough hydraulic pressure, that is, the brake compensator may be either defective, or incorrectly set.

I have a 1989 F Reg Mi-16. This problem first came about when vibratrion was noticed when accelerating and especially through maximum torque. The bushes to the wishbone were replaced. However, the problem never went away. I have subsequently replaced the back engine mount.
I experience slight steering drift. Vibration feels as though it is coming...

Hi
I've got a 106 and it came with a clarion multi change - a 6 disc one - I've recently taken it out (although I've left the wiring etc. in). Its two years old and works as new. I would be interested in selling it. I live near Guildford.
Anyhow give me a shout if you intersted.

I think you can get them direct from Pug...

Hi everyone, i have a 2001 2.2 HDI C5 and the handbrake part of the caliper has given up the ghost, can anyone recommed a cheap supplied for a new caliper, many thanks Bob :wink:

The 306 Cat is located in the front section of exhaust. it's under the floor, but only about 2' from the engine.
Second hand exhaust components are rarely worth any money at all, unless you can find someone who really wants it, and as for the cost of a new one... check with ATS, kwik-Fit, etc etc... or just go to a motor factors, buy it cheaper...
