I'm not sure, I've been out and wound the boost compensation out two turns (and subsequently back in one), made almost no difference to smoke or power so I wound the max fuel screw out one full turn. One full turn out meant the engine produced zero power and wouldn't move forward! Half a turn out and the smoke is significantly better, power is...

Hmmmm.....

I can't see how to open the front without degassing, as the condenser is in the way. The compressor is on flexible pipes with a small amount of movement, but I don't think the condenser is.

That part is the diesel fuel preheater. Fuel passes through a cast labyrinth inside it, and is heated by the part being in contact with engine coolant.
The part has been known to go porous after many years of duty, and can leak, sometimes from the tubes and a blanking stopper which connect it. The unit usually fails by allowing air to be sucked in...

The only valid VIN is the one ending in 832 - the last one is not valid. So this one is the
605 4 DOOR SALOON 2.0 i 8v TE Auto gearbox 4 with XU10J2TE engine.

Information is limited I'm afraid, but hopefully the following diagram, although not detailed may help you identify the location of the sensors:

Whilst soaking the injector I've tidied up further.

Looks like the yoke on the end of the camshaft broke quite a long time ago. It's been driving on just one side of the cross piece for long enough to mark it heavily.
Only reason it stopped now is that the yoke has cracked across the area that is shrunk onto the camshaft so it simply lost...

Dual mass flywheel and/or clutch approaching end of life?

Thanks for the reply - this is what a friend mentioned that it could be - I guess Ill just bite the bullet and change the clutch and flywheel at the same time and post my findings :-k

Ok another day another plan, after dissecting one of the non-snapped plugs and a bit of measuring of IDs and depths & I've settled on the idea of using an M4 long pattern tap to cut a small amount of thread inside the stuck tip, then screwing in a length of rod and applying either a slide-hammer or nut&sleeve puller technique to hopefully coax the...

Sorry
We got burgled and my laptop taken since my last post in this thread.
All my BoLs are in storage and not readily accessible, so I can't easily look it up for you, but I'm sure somebody will.
As I said before, how big a problem would you consider it, if you had to take the box out again next year? Perhaps before the snow's gone?
If you feel...

Easier, maybe, but a whole lot more expensive certainly.

Orange in colour?
Total Fluide DA most likely as you have electric power steering in your van.

Sorry for delayed response - I've been rushed off my feet with other stuff !

The old EGR off the car sticks fully open. pushing on the valve head will free it, but its almost impossible to free by rotating the drive end. I've now had it on the bench and wiggled it and cleaned it so that it works OK again, but it still feels notchy around the...

Whipped it off just now, outside is covered in schmoo, inside looks pretty good but has three 2mm holes.

AHH good ;)

I did my boxer matrix last year.. not too hideous

Hi Thanks for reply

I've had the car for 3 years and not had a problem with the EGR apart from the Gasket. Just wondering if there is still an EGR Gasket/leak issue why the air flow is so high.
I will need to uninstall PP2000 and install Diagbox which will take sometime.

The car is a non turbo 88kw Version 4C5FWC

....it was an Allison box.... there's the first problem

out of a Dennis Dart.... and here's the main one

lol as a passenger I never liked the things, bouncy clattery rattleboxes either too hot or freezing. ZF box would have been nicer, might stand a chance of hearing it over the bodywork then too!

Wow, lucky boy indeed :)

How old/well used is your torque wrench? Also how big is it? (operating a beefy 1/2 one down at the lower end of it's scale is more likely to throw up inaccuracies than it is using a smaller one in the middle/upper part of it's range IMO). I'm also a bit paranoid about tensioner bolts working loose, threadlock is a nice...

A fairly old thread, but seems to be a similar question to mine.
I need to replace the steering fluid on my '05 Berlingo again as the ECP Dexron III that I used seems to have lost it's strength. I replaced some of it this morning, with some more from the same bottle and the steering is noticeably better, so I'm guessing the ECP stuff is not...

Comments/previous experience anybody?

Nice post :) glad we've finally found the answer to this & I'd bet a few of us have learned something new also from this. I've never heard of a pressed-up camshaft before, that's frankly absurd IMO. I wonder what the reasoning behind it is, since I'd have thought it'd be more expensive and labour intensive than having a one-piece cast/forged item...

Agreed.
His car was working until he killed it.
Transplant 101 is to reuse all his own electrickery. Just transplant mechanical stuff that's failed, in this case the engine.
Every single place where wiring attaches should come from the old engine.
The ecu is happy with all the sensors it has been talking to and the coils and injectors it has been...

More like them covering their selves than giving you an advisory then, thanks the info

Welome!

I suspect you need to pull the sprocket off the tapered shaft - have you done this?

Yes, 406 is, in my opinion, their peak of evolution.
Solved all the problems of the 405 without all the unreliable, unnecessary frills of the 407.
Virtually indestructible and plentiful enough to be disposable, if you do break them.
Ours even survived being used as a submarine and resultant hydraulic lock.
Slightly low compression on one cylinder,...

Noted, Thanks A lot.

Make sure you follow the battery disconnect procedure first before you swap them and then the BSI reset after, then you should see the option to enable it in PP2000

Hmm interesting ekj ...

I didnt know they suffered from that .

Have you removed the new stereo again?
Was the battery disconnected to fit the stereo and if so was the BSI allowed time to shut down before battery disconnection ?
Has any wiring been butchered?
Ive seen incorrectly fitted aftermarket stereos causing lots of different strange electrical problems but never seen one that causes it not to start....

Can't say I've ever noticed this issue on any PSA vehicle I've ever driven. Or any vehicle really. The only one I've found tricky was a Skoda like Jim's.

Thanks a lot , here my VIN Number VF33CN6AF8S003041 , if you can provide me with versions can fitted my car.

Look on Berlingoforum.co.uk as it's the same vehicle. It's possibly a case of they all do that sir .. It's definitely a common thing on these.

PSA specify the use of a special Tee shaped connecting hose to bleed the filter, but this guy got away with just bleeding it into a cup:

I would argue he was a bit heavy handed with the securing bolts, and I would have done it in plastic tub to avoid spilling the diesel everywhere!!

I'm not saying it isn't a claim - I'm saying it does not (for me and any insurer I have used) affect my no claims discount.

Fact: I've gone through this lots of times - I have repeatedly confirmed with any insurer when taking out a policy about windscreen cover and NONE of them are interested. So I am speaking from my personal experience and it...

Or an air lock - that can cause similar problems.

Try bleeding the cooling system in accordance with the correct instructions for the vehicle.

Yes done all that

They sound a bit thin to me....

No luck at all. It's too cold to muck about today. I was hoping, wrongly apparently, that a Leia would give you a code, which would then tell you exactly what to do to fix the problem. It has had the bsi reset, battery charged, codes reset, still won't start and the codes come back. I am bamboozled.

The droid has the code :twisted:

Leia.jpg

thanks for that MikeT. i will take that on board.

My daughter had a C3 1.4 HDi which I suspect had the same engine and she was very pleased with it after the initial hiccup of the dealer filling the tank with petrol.
Very cheap to run and proved to be completely reliable, they did lots of miles in it until her then husband decided they would have a Volvo - that someone totalled a month later :(...

We've all done something like that. Live and learn!

We had a 2005 Nissan Micra for 5 years for wife's commuting, shopping etc.; that and occasional trips to Dunfermline (son) and Liskeard (two sons) it averaged 73 mpg over 60,000 plus miles and was driven as normal, not hanging about but not as a girl racer!
A friends wife had a petrol version and that averaged just over 51 mpg overall.
I checked...

if anyone has removed a Turbo form a 307cc without removing the Subframe can you let me know? Thanks

Sounds like the release bearing has broken up, and the clutch fork is now pressing direct on the clutch fingers. Time to get the 'box out!!

Good news, equivalent to re-using banjo washers on the older pumps.
