2011 DS3 1.6 P0087

Afternoon all,

Had this fault and another intermittently lately. Abs changed my air filter and done a 100 mile run today with the 87 error coming back near the end of the journey. I get the engine management light and the ESP fault strangely. Any ideas what I should check?

Many Thanks

Don't think I have the VIN for the DS3 - pop it up and I'll have a look.

Thanks Marc- will go out in the cold now!

It's been over 6 months since I killed the C2!

Ok, the recommendation is the fuel filter. This fault is down to lack of fuel pressure in the fuel high pressure common rail. It can be caused by a blockage or an air leak on he fuel filter most commonly. The fuel filter should be replaced on this engine every 60k KM or 32k Miles. Especially if you are having intermittent difficulty starting the engine or if it is stalling.

Of course there can be other causes in the fuel system, but go with the cheapest and most common option first.

Have you a part number please and a rough guide on how the replace? Or is it a mechanics job?

Here's a guide for you in case you're feeling adventurous:

Note: This is for the DS3 with DV6C engine

Tooling

Plug Set Kit	Click Fit Union Plugs

Put the vehicle on a hoist.
Disconnect the ancillaries battery. (BSI Reset / Battery Disconnect / Reconnect Procedure)

Remove:

• The protective panel under the engine
• The engine cover

Fuel Filter

Place the tray underneath the fuel bleed pipe outlet (When coupling the tool , protect yourself using a cloth to prevent any splashes of fuel). Disconnect and move aside the connector ( as "b") (Water in diesel fuel detector) (according to equipment). N.B.: The water in diesel detector acts as a lock for the water bleed screw (2) on the fuel filter. Unlock the water bleed screw (2) (Clockwise) Raise the water bleed screw (2) fully (In the direction of the arrow ( as "c")). Allow the liquid to flow out. Disconnect and move aside the connector ( as "a") (Fuel filter heater). Clean the unions (1), (3a), (3b) using the degreasing product (Sodimac), the brush and the cleaning tray. Uncouple the connectors (1), (3a), (3b).

CAUTION: Plug the openings when a union is uncoupled using the tools [1520-B / 5705-T]. Close the pipes on the fuel filter using the tools [0194-T]. Slacken the bolts (4) (captive screws). CAUTION: With great care, vertically disengage the fuel filter (5) from the fuel filter support (Risk of damage). Remove the fuel filter (5).

CAUTION: The water in diesel fuel detector, the priming pump and the diesel fuel heater are integral with the cover (5a) of the fuel filter (5). If there is any anomaly, replace the fuel filter (5) cover (5a) in its entirety. Check that the centring ring is present( as "d"). CAUTION: Place the cover (5a) of the fuel filter (5) upside down, in a spot that is secure and clean. Remove: The bolts (6) The filter element (5b) from the cover (5a) of the fuel filter (5) (Fuel filter heater)

Refitting

CAUTIONS:

• Adhere to the tightening torques. (*see end of procedure)
• At refitting, all the removed seals must be replaced with new seals.
• Open the bag containing the fuel filter (5) just prior to refitting.

N.B.: Check the condition of the seal ( as "e"). If there is any anomaly, replace the fuel filter (5) cover (5a) in its entirety. Unlock: The water bleed screw (2) (High position). Refit the seal ( as "g") (New). CAUTION: Be careful when positioning of the cover (5a) of the fuel filter (5) (Locating lugs ( as "f")). Position the cover (5a) of the fuel filter (5) on the filter element (5b) (Locating lugs ( as "f")). Refit the screws (6) without tightening. Push the water bleed screw (2) fully. Lock: The water bleed screw (2) (Anti-clockwise). Retighten the bolts (6) to the correct torque.

Fuel Filter

Check that the centring ring is present( as "d"). CAUTION: Very carefully, vertically position the fuel filter (5) in the slot "h" in the support (7) of the fuel filter (5) (Risk of damage). Fit the fuel filter assembly (5) onto the support (7) ( as "h") (Carefully). Refit the bolts (4). Remove the tools [0194-T], [1520-B / 5705-T]. Couple the click-fit unions (1), (3a), (3b). Connect: The connectors ( as "a") (Fuel filter heater) The connectors ( as "b") (Water in diesel fuel detector) (According to equipment)[/list Refit: The engine cover The protective panel under the engine

Priming & Bleeding the Fuel Circuit

Operate the manual priming pump (8) several times to prime the fuel circuit.

Checking for leaks

Reconnect the ancillaries battery. CAUTION: Follow Battery Reconnection Part of (BSI Reset / Battery Disconnect / Reconnect Procedure)

• Start the engine.
• Allow the engine to idle for 2 minutes.
• Check the absence of leaks.

Tightening Torques

Reference Designation Stage Tightening torque (13) bolts (Fuel filter cover) Tightening 0,3 daNm (14) bolts (Fuel filter ) Tightening 0,8 daNm (15) bolts (Fuel filter support) Tightening 0,8 daNm
