Check the 5V reference signal(s) from the ECU. Their driver circuitry seem to be the weakest link of an ECU from what I've gathered.

Well, you might not have fixed her but you have got her a lot more healthy.

Thanks for the encouragement Elis, all seems good for the moment, next job....belts.

Thanks for your answers.

Ahhh, the good old days when all you needed was a pin and a small screw driver to clock a car.

All you need now to clock , sorry correct the mileage in the majority of cars is a laptop & OBD cable. If anything its probably now easier than the olden days & more difficult to detect. Some manufacturers even store the mileage in the key now but even...

Connectors between the units, and the speakers, have to be a first port of call.
If you can access the amp, try some (less than 200Ω) headphones on each of its speaker outputs in turn.

Check each of the speaker connections (leading away to the speakers) for resistance. Should be 4∼8Ω, but not open-circuit or a short. A 1.5v battery twitched on to...

Thank you Marc for all the info. :)

The Power steering function provides assistance based on:

The speed of rotation of the steering wheel
The vehicle speed
The temperature of the steering fluid

However there can be several causes for these faults - low battery, communications problem on the CAN network, or in the case of fault U1105 the flywheel angle sensor.

If there are...

Could also be tires. Cupping or maybe a break in the steel belts in the tire

Guys the wife's car has just pinged the above code. 208 on a 63 plate 1.2 petrol. Any clues?
Graham there were several engine variants for the 208 1.2, so I would need the VIN or the Reg to provide a relevant explanation of the fault code - third party generic explanations are not 100% accurate.

However on looking at both the Bosch and the Valeo...

Not all fault codes will bring up the EML light on the dash, and not all generic code readers can report on dealer level codes. The Anti Pollution light can come on randomly to indicate that the car is currently not within its emissions tolerance - and this can be the result of stop start traffic for prolonged periods and will usually clear when...

The standard 'take it apart, clean it and put it back together' then, does usually work..

Well, I got fed up looking at it tonight after reading loads of threads on various forums for cars fitted with the DV6 engine. There are a lot of reports of the car not starting after having had the injectors removed.

Last night I tried priming the bulb a load more and it still wouldn't go, I then tried putting an extra battery on it with jump...

Has it been plugged in to check for codes? Is it an XUD or HDI, and what size / turbo or not?

I'm ever so sorry. I made a complete mess of my post (since corrected). It is a Peugeot 206 (NOT 207) SW TURBO 2 litre. I feel such a fool. Please forgive me. Yes, it has had a plug-in thingy done and nothing showed up. As I said, it is spasmodic and,...

It's a Black Hack taxi Gibbo. The official Pug one. Belongs to my BIL. Will try and get VIN Marc.

I thought it might be that lexi but hadn't heard it called that before.

That doesn't work in Bristol, some dolt in the council back in 2010 decided that to get a taxi license ALL taxis had to be Bristol Blue. :shock:

I've always wondered why auto boxes couldn't have a special mode whereby the internal oil pump could be powered by the output shafts, that way they could be properly lubricated when being towed and a bump start would be possible. IIRC some early Jag auto boxes had a pump on the output shaft for just such a purpose.

Yes the Borg Warner DG...

I will try that I have a spare for it I had a leaking servo on a 306 that hissed when pedal pressed like you mention but not noticed it on this. Will change it tonight and see how it goes

A battery that settles down to 12.5v shouldn't be a problem. As you say, lower than that is not good, and likely the result either of continual residual drain, or just the battery self-discharging through age.

Interested in the residual drain current though, which you say settles to 0.05∼0.07A.
That's 50∼70mA, which I think is rather on the high...

You can't win. That is an impressive mileage on a tankful, though. You haven't lost the knack! :chin:

Running an engine that you know the timing has jumped on sounds like a recipe for disaster :shock:
You might have more than just a broken rocker now #-o

Thanks you for this. Still looks a little complicated lol, having not done it before, but it looks like it's just 6 steps so I'll see how I get on and pop back if it all goes :bouncy: up! :)

Thanks again.

It’s probably all the pulleys. You can get a timing belt kit that contains all the pulleys too. You’ll find when they’ve been replaced that it will usually sound as new again. I had all mine done with the timing belt and it stopped all the noises.

Cooling Fan

Bingo! Result! Will do wonders for the clutch. \:D/
Glad you got to the bottom of it.

Hi
I doubt very much that simply plugging the new unit in, using the old plugs will work.
The connectors in the plugs will have suffered the same as the pins in the fuse box and, if they work at all, will be unreliable, particularly when they get warm.
To repair that properly you'll need to change the connectors too. The old ones may be difficult...

Snap 2017 will capture bits of pages, whole pages, websites, videos and more with a couple of clicks

Jim, I know you're back, please confirm the above, and welcome back

I find mine does more mpg on cruise, leave the gadgets to do there thing, more accurate than my right foot.

hi guys,
because display was not enough now something drain my battery, any ideas???

That'll work :dunce: might be using that more often I think!

Hi all, I would like to change the HP Fuel sensor attached to the common rail. Before I do it I believe I need to de-pressurise the HP Fuel System. Does anyone know a good link on how to do this.

Many Thanks

Charliedog Pop your VIN up (it will be automatically masked) I have your Citroen C5 one but not the Peugeot.

P0130 is not a check engine light? Is the oxygen sensor still functioning?

P1645 is accelerator pedal sending wrong information. Have you tried another second hand unit?

Well done, great news on both fronts. At least you will be prepared in future if the same thing happens.

Thanks Marc, that's what I thought, but I had read to the contrary.

If you have access to Peugeot Planet 2000 / Diagbox , any glow plug supply relay fault will show up as a fault.

Pop up your VIN and I'll locate the relay on the 607 engine.

Good luck, that's a pretty disconcerting thing to happen.

Here you go: So basically just enter the first 8 characters.

Injector Code.png INJECTOR CONFIGURATION
(1) Location of the 8 characters
(2) Location of the ninth character

There are 2 types of injectors:
1st generation with 8 characters
2nd generation with 9 characters
The diagnostic tool allows you to programme either:

8...

Thanks for that info.

I'll take a look at the filter this evening or on Saturday and see if it is as yours was and take the cap off and try that.
The car moves well on the motorway and when I put my foot down it does go but when its around town it does suffer from slight hesitation so it has to be something simple.

cheers

I believe the 206 and 306 are 1.10 Litres for PS fluid.

Mine would start ok.
if left would tick over ok.
if you tried to rev it, then you got this kind of flat misfire, bit like the old days with petrol engines and choke, if you pushed it in to quick you ended up with this flat misfire where it was getting to much cold air to fuel.
on the HDi this would last for a couple of pedal down revs then she was...

Marc, Sorry if I have confused you. I have had this particular problem for a good while and have changed the following parts, LP in-tank fuel pump, HP Pump Control valve, Common rail Sensor
Does anyone know how/where I can get a schematic diagram of how the HP fuel system works from the start in the LP fuel tank to return to the said tank. I have...

This reminded me of the day one of the mechanics got married and the bad boys, his workmates, wired a kipper to the exhaust pipe of the honeymoon car. :-D

Cheers Mike for the tool advice and sensor checking method. I'll update next week.
Cheers all.

Mike,

Someone will be along shortly no doubt to tell you how to check out expected resistances of the sensors and how to measure them from appropriate pins in the abs connector which is probablly the answer you need.

Regards Neil

Thanks Neil!

Car failed on ABS light not illuminating . It's my brother's. He removed the dash pod, to find a...

Turned out to be O2 sensor bank 1.

That has been replaced and after running fine for a few days it suddenly won't tick over when cold.

Nipped out of work to take a look. Revved it for a minute or two until it settled down, symptoms were pretty much how a cold engine would have been with no choke back in the carburettor days. Drove it round the...
