Partner Hdi 2014

[sikez]

HI,

Purchased a Peugeot Partner back end of last year 2014 1.6hdi-130,000 miles
I have since had it serviced and timing belt/water pump replaced as a matter of course simply because service book shows no evidence of it being changed.
A few questions if anyone can advise please-

Does it have a dual mass flywheel or solid?
Paint code if reading correct shows 'EZRC' vans silver, I see a lot of EZR panels etc for sale but very little with the 'c' on the end, Then sure i have seen somewhere to ignore the last letter can anyone confirm please.
Overall it runs spot-on, have the odd battery light show up and error message saying charging fault.
I do have the software on a laptop already installed with the adaptors to get very in-depth with the settings, it comes up with the linear side of the alternator i clear it then it goes away but randomly appears again.
Looks like the top strut bearings are getting tired, changed drop-links but still odd knocking or jolt on steering when turning side to side when stood still.

Trying to understand the 'DPF' side of things with the Eolys tank and miles left but one of those its not broken etc so view but dont touch

Any help would be appreciated
Kind Regards
Simon.

Dual mass due to engine type diesel vibration and so on.
Ive a 206cc 1.6hdi replaced the clutch last summer as i was new owner also did cam belt glow plugs blah blah blah no history, i went for the solid flywheel , but now have a vibration sound when reaching speeds , Dual mass has the dampers to stop the vibration , solid lasts way longer but ive got the slight vibration.
Check the alternator earth as they come lose or get dirty so give that a go, keep the oil changes on time clean the oil return feed from the turbo with every service that will protect your turbo as the small gauze filters can get clogged.

Good luck with the clutch change they can be a pain as room is tight on these engine bays.

This chap is good ... hes helped me tons also marc on here is brilliant too.

C on that paint code means clear coat, so i was told.

Jinxed myself the radiator has started leaking from the top,
Are they easy to replace?
Running all along the top where plastic meets metal god knows how coolant changed not 3mths ago.

Would the 'c part of the paint code just simply refer to the final coat once dry? So a panel without the 'c' but the other 3 letters correct would be of the same colour?

Clutch is fine just merely wondering for down the line.

Don't get the DPF System mixed up with the SCR System. They have separate functions

It is the UREA / Adblue Counter when you switch the ignition on that gives you a countdown of miles remaining until you run out, not the DPF.

A basic explanation:

1) The Catalytic converter takes the unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide and converts these to water and carbon dioxide
2) Then the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system through the use of Adblue injected into the Cat transforms the Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) into water and Nitrogen.
3) Lastly, the Diesel Particulate Filter then traps over 99% of the particulate matter that is also produced by diesel engines and when the filter becomes blocked, it regenerates either passively if the exhaust is already hot enough (550 °C) or via assisted regeneration using Eolys that is stored in a separate tank and injected into the fuel system to reduce the temperature required for regeneration of the particle filter from 550 °C to about 450 °C.

Here's a video on how the systems work on Diesel Vehicles:

My 206 i removed the headlights then part of the plastic trim to have a bit of wiggle room, you may have enough room there only held in with 2 screws into plastic brackets ,mine were.

If you could take photos of the front valance and headlight set up then it might give me an idea, as for new rads auto doc are ok but it takes a while for them to be shipped, there in Germany. Peugeot rads can go like yours if there not mounted or seated correctly diesel engines do vibrate lots.

The bumper will have to come off, The two brackets at the top of the radiator are under the top re-enforcement bar that runs across the front bumper, Big thick moulded section.
I removed the 6-torx bolts between the headlamps and bonnet catch and you cannot get it far enough pulled back let alone see what you are doing
I moved the radiator and there's no play or seems none just odd and it's not all that old the van but done 130k

I do know the bolts on the bottom of the bumper which would of held the undertray on just turn..undertray missing before i got it..any offers on how to stop them spinning? think they possibly go into spire clips into the subframe?

With regard to the emissions side of things it does sometimes have the fan running when i pull on the driveway few and far between though and if so i keep the revs on 2000rpm untill the fan stops..
Don't know if this is the right way to go i just thought it's finishing a re-gen and don't want to stop it?

Appreciate the advice.

The system has strategies for dealing with interrupted regeneration cycles. It learns from driving habits, but if interrupted can re-schedule an earlier regeneration as soon as conditions allow. After multiple aborted attempts it will ultimately flag a message up on screen 'Risk of Particle Filter Blocking' or similar, so then you know it's time to go for a vigorous drive to allow it to complete a regen.
