Thanks white exec. I'm all signed up to Service Box, it will be incredibly useful.

Question regarding the front seats. Can I just leave them as they are, or will it cause airbag problems? I know that the Driver's seat has height adjust and the Passenger's seat doesn't, but that won't be a problem.

So... When I started the car yesterday morning no odd double light showing everything working as it should. I was hoping there would be something stored in the cars electronics bit there was nowt, Still the scan was OK at €20. No further forward tho, Grrrr

Is there no place in NZ that would check/Unlock your ECU? This crowd have a good reputation and they also answer questions even stupid questions from people like me.

OK, sorry I Havnt updated this, I've been busy with various personal things in my life.

I have tried unplugging the oxygen sensor, and got no warnings, and no difference at all.

I have tried unplugging the maf, I got a speed control error, which I guess is normal, but no difference at all in mpg or power.

Does this mean the possibility of the...

So you have a
PARTNER VU (M59) SHORT VAN '600' 1.9 D 71 (DW8B) Manual gearbox 5
This is the location of the relays and the engine fusebox - the other relays will be near and around this area.

Partner Fusebox.PNG

3 is a Relay Box
5 Is the Engine Fuse Box
6 is the Maxi Fuse Box
20 is Likely to be the Glow Plug Relay,

Forgive my ignorance but does the 207 have a COMM2000 or equivalent unit that could be causing the instrument issues? Or failing that, since it happened after disconnection of the battery it's like a confused BSI :?

Yes it does. I disconnected the battery to check the gearbox earth I followed Marc's guide to reset the BSI.

One small detail concerns me, the part where you say between 70 and 80°C, which is well under working temperature.

I wouldn't say it was well under working temp, would expect it to run somewhere around the 90-95c mark normally & maybe up to 105 on a hot day working hard.

What sort of temperature is the engine running at normally? (worth...

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure any 1.9 XUD kit will do turbo or no. From my experience they were all the same cambelt/tensioner/idler and water pump for the cars at least. Only stipulations I would apply is use a good quality name brand kit (Dayco/Gates etc belt, INA tensioner/Fahren pump for examples) as belt failure will usually ruin the...

Those are generally marked on the plug casings or inside. They serve as an identifier.

I tried the jump lead on cold start made no difference so I took off the earth strap and cleaned the ends, it was pretty clean. I followed the procedure for reconnecting the battery now i have a different problem. The low fuel light stays on until you release the handbrake and the door open light stays on until you plug in your seat belt. Any...

Marc,
Thankyou very much :) .
Best regards, Harry

Tried everything chasedwires back ecu no chafing or resistance tried every plug and earth

I presume that this is a THP engine?

Don't ignore the possibility that the starter has failed and the other symptoms that you have are not directly related.

With the new battery are you still getting a Christmas tree of warning lights and messages?

It will probablyy be necessary to have the fault codes read and cleared before you can make much...

Seems a bit of an over-simplistic suggestion (I've never done this myself)

...but sometimes the obvious can be overlooked

Can you push the belt further on to the Cam Pulley so that its at the NS extreme of that pulley, which might put it within the OS boundaries of the Pump Pulley

Looks from your Pic 2 that there's some room available on the...

Never mind, registered myself with servicebox & it's 7213HG - Box reinforcement and unsurprisingly NFP :(

Still, no harm asking a few stealers if they have one I guess. Other option is just make another one since it's hardly a complex piece. In fact I feel the car would barely notice if they were removed, let alone fail it's MoT on their corroded...

Pleased to report that it's started & running great now! Once i finally got the correct tool to get the plugs out i found they were not in a good condition. New plugs & some oil into the cylinders to get compression back (it must have been flooded) & she started up straight away. So all along that was the problem, the battery disconnection & 3.3V...

Thanks for all your comments, I'm pretty sure they are the right bulbs because the light output is similar to the other 406 I have, I can see the bulbs in the front and they look exactly right but I will check them. As both sides are the same I had ruled out a different current scenario.

I'm beginning to see why this car was cheap although it...

Yes the common item would seem to be injector 2 Warrick. You may be able to get it tested by a diesel specialist to confirm though.

Website seems live - looks like stock is reduced.

I hadn't seen that, bought out and relaunched as an online retailer January 2019.

You have a small leak somewhere, but they can be very difficult to find. It could also be that the coolant was drained and not properly bled before you bought the car, and the drop in level is due to air-pockets in the engine now being filled with coolant. Top it up and see if it happens again. If it only needs topping up every few months, it is...

Thank You so much, one can be very isolated when you have nothing to guide you.

Is the pipe you mean?

Hi o sorry, no worries vin for peugeot is VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Thanks wheeler! that's a good point.

I've still not had a chance to try and wire this in yet.

I've never used one of these as I have a telematic system that uses GSM and GPS as well as the 2 FM and AM tuners. That windscreen aerial won't be amplified and I've seen inside some of these cheap things - they rarely have any amplifying electronics inside so are just a waste on money.

Maybe a car audio specialist or a trip to Halfrauds might be...

thanks Guys, not ideal that I've gone to the bother to change the Pads & Discs; but glad the puzzle's solved :-D

I was under there to confirm to myself whether the 'Knock' is the Bottom Engine Mount (it is, and it'll keep) and noticed this. Long trip to hilly Devon 3 up next week, so got it sorted toute suite; fronts 'll have a bit of a...

All the XUD are iron blocks. The XU5/7/9 are alloy blocks with liners. They are completely different beasts.

Crankshafts are interchangeable between all the XUD and XU series of engines though with rods and pistons having to be mixed/matched to suit.

What do you consider is a reasonable price for an XU9J4, xsaras4ever?

They can be calibrated by anybody with a suitable Lexia or diagbox diagnostic tool and the ability to use it. And of course the knowledge on how to use it. But the process is not for the faint hearted if things go wrong. This is according to the technical documents of which a rough translation I’ve already posted previously. Some will of course...

Cheers Marc I am sorting out a laptop and will order a lead set and PP / Lexie to help pin point this issue I will check my vin again sorry for that. The fan runs weather the air con is on or off,

Good news on getting those two things identified and fixed!

Thanks Chris, having been fine on your BX, I'm sure should I ever need to replace the HG on my 405, the Multi-Layer will be fine. I think the BoL quotes four thicknesses of Gasket, but the differences are fractions of a millimetre; I'll get the thinnest multi-layer I can find if the job ever comes up

307 RESTYLING 5 DOOR SALOON 1.6 i 16v 110 (TU5JP4) 4-SPEED AUTOMATIC GEARBOX

P0606 is an uncharacterised Engine ECU fault - so nothing further on that one.
and C1381 is not present in any fault diagnosis I have, so very sorry, can't be much help on that front.

That ground lead in the background (yellow crimp-eye connector) is a DIY mod. Perhaps see where that black wire leads to, and you might get a clue what is was meant to do.

I'd change the Lambda sensor then clear the codes they are possibly related to the lambda

It looks very much like the Turbo Vacuum Solenoid Valve (item 1), you can see the 3 air unions (3, 4 & 5) on the diagram that correspond to the pipes that have been cut off in your picture.

Your choice of course, but not recommended when it comes to explosives in safety devices.

Second hand units can be got for a reasonable amount. A 206 driver airbag module - £10 (49 złotys); a Comms Unit £34 (169 złotys). What price safety?

I'd sooner forego an airbag rather than risk it going off at some random point that would likely cause a...

MAF cleaner would be better and don’t touch the wire.

Mine are

I would make sure the injector clamp bolts are tight (and checked every service). Volvo (who use a derivative of the PSA 1.6 HDi engine) do this as a matter of course, and they don't appear to get the problem with 'coke' in the oil, blocking the various pathways and filters.

Thanks - Excuse to buy more tools as my normal torque wrench doesnt go...

Can you record the standard air parameters with Diagbox, while going for a short, varied drive?

It will be there, but it is hidden inside the exterior shell. You have to take that off to locate it.

Do your drop links not have an Allen Key hole in the end of the threaded part to hold them still whilst you undo the nut? My C5 ones certainly do.
Cleaning up the thread first still applies though.

Sorry :oops: just re-read the previous posts.

I covered 60 miles on the new oil it's still a little notchy going down the gears especially until it's warmed up. I been reading online about a fix for this problem tho what the fix is I have no idea. When I changed the oil I put in 1.9l as I read 1.9L and 2L on different sites. Is 1.9 correct the VIN is VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]. There's no whine from...

Hi, I'm no expert, but you could probably get some speaker cable and run it from the interior light to the door. This would include trying to route the cable out of sight through the rubber seal that the door closes onto. You may need to drill a small hole in the door to run the cable through but shouldn't be too big. Maybe use a grommet.

This is...

I drained 2lt ( which I put in a couple of years ago) and filled with 2lt fresh oil. 2lt is the volume stated in the Haynes manual - it that accurate enough or should I also do the level check?

Ive not had a chance to investigate this, it is working fine from the button on the key and there is no internal button so it must either be the button or a break in the wiring. I shall let you know

Ive not looked at nine yet, so if I need sensors i will learn from you David and get a genuine one!
