Thank you very much!

Excellent - A lot of this stuff seems to come from Poland, including my recent front hydraulic strut.

HAving had a good look through - I have top report zilch on the torque settings for the Lambda sensors, but the part number for one of them (1628NY) is stated as 45Nm or 4.5 daNm for a BERU cable. Hope that helps!

I’ll have Look at those codes in the morning for you.

There are plenty of issue with these boxes across PSA vehicles and most of use here advise on avoiding them like the plague - get a proper manual or a fully Auto.

Diagbox is the software and you will need a Lexia Clone VCI and of course a suitable laptop. It will work across all PSA vehicles. Support is mostly from other users as these clones are...

Another 205td saved. :-D :-D

Excellent!

That's a rack and pinion . The pinion is the small round gear and the rack is the long flat one.
It's one, possibly the most common, way to convert rotary motion into linear motion.
One common problem with the design is, when it stops and starts at the same place the teeth can wear away from the stop/start points on the rack, with no apparent wear...

A heartening result, after a lot of forum head-scratching. A very instructive thread! :)

Brilliant, thanks Marc, it’s number 2...

I took out the battery and tray no relay apart from the one mentioned earlier. I then went to check the fuel pipes under the air filter and discovered 1 or 2 injector seals are gone everything is covered in gunk. I ordered new washers etc wont be available until Monday so I will clean up everything today. Maybe this is causing it to be hard to...

An update for those
interested. I have probed and tested and established that the ECU is now definitely receiving a signal from the clutch switch. I could even feel a difference on the test drive with engine rpm seeming to not fall off as rapidly when making a gear change, resulting in much smoother progress and easier shifting.

However...

A possibility of course, highly unusual for a UK vehicle, but of course we have no location information from the OP, so one for him to answer.

The exterior temperature sensor wire directly feeds into the passenger side electric window control unit (whether this is on the LHD or RHD side depending on UK or European model). So the wire will be able...

It was the 'turning over quickly' that made me think there was low compression Chris, broken cambelt effect! though obviously not.

I feel kinda guilty about it. I changed the oil and filter after the switches and it's saying low oil level even though the level is perfect. So maybe that's karma? fast karma at that

Thanks Mark for your help and yes it will be filled with eolys 3rd generation tomorrow and system reset afterwards , regards Luis

There is no O ring according to Marc, Gibbo and Peugeot (parts Bristol). I fitted a new guide tube WITHOUT O ring and it seems fine.

So basically the header tank method? Drain the coolant from the bottom hose, refit hose open valve at heater maitrix and fill until there's no bubbles? Would I not need to drain the block to do a coolant change? What's a de-aeration chamber plug and where is it? Is there another bleeder on the engine? Sorry for all the questions and thank you very...

So I brought the car to a local mechanic but he can't scan it until Tuesday apparently he's on the top of his head but I'll wait as the scan is €30. Meantime I will attempt a coolant change can't do too much harm doing that!

Good shout! Is there a software version i should look for? The solenoids i swapped had the same part codes - is it possible they run at different hz ranges?

Thanks !

I would need this as there are several 1.8 engines and several 405s, so I would need that if you want clarification.

Thanks guys, mostly intended as a bit of a useful FYI for others.

As was said in another thread recently Sparksie, nothing worse than not using a car regularly.

Thanks Marc!

Thank you very much for you help Marc.

This is very useful information.
Actually, the cost on the website is almost same as the used one I have now but I have no idea about the cost of shipment.
Anyway, I will check. Thank you.

Okay, my mistake.
Must read more carefully.
Still feel this is more likely to be electrical, however.

Makes sense, wouldn't that show up on the diagnostic?
The gauge in the instrument panel rises as it warms up & sits at just below 80Deg.

Ok, thanks gents! That’s very useful info! Will bring the update as soon as the problem will become sorted.

Its integrated into the com2000 unit, the lighting & wiper stalk module.

Still poking around under bonnet 16 pin black plug on fuse box lot of the wires have no continuity like I said when I live fuse 15 the fuel pump kicks in but won't start got to be broken wires doing my head in

I am too. Useually caused simply be the injector clamp bolts loosening off the causing injector blow past.
volvo use this same dv6 engine they are advised at service to check injector clamp bolts. How many fails do you see... Virtually none of any.
Ford and psa do not advise it.. How many do we see... Ooodles of them.

Thanks for the replies folks. I'll add a couple of litres of Total Gear 8 to my shopping list for when I head back to the UK in a few days time.

That’s Kwik Fit for you 😶learn not to go there in the future!

The most worn edge is the larger chamfer. ie, less contact area.

In my experience it's normal for the glowplugs to be covered in black carbon but not actually 'oily'. But if he's been doing a lot of cold-start experiments then they might have a bit of extra diesel or oil on them making them temporarily 'oily' rather than just dirty - doesn't indicate a problem IMHO. Anyway, he said he's bought a new set, so...

Unfortunately, none are compatible from the C5 MK I or II facelift - only the MK III X7

Yay! Well done.

Ok thanks! :)

My next thoughts exactly. Deal with a few mot stations so I'll be calling a favour in tomorrow to see what's what.
Level wise they look about right, as in the same level. But now I've noticed the lack of light to the drivers side properly, driving home I may as well be running on sidelight at that side

Yes Marc, great to have those other values too. I would have under tightened the sprung nuts (8) on the intermediate pipe otherwise.
Manifold/exhaust went back on nicely (but I guess Meg already told you). :)
Thanks again - Alex.

Yours has Lucas brakes, so those look like the right ones.

The symptoms are the switch lights up when you press and there is a slight raising of revs when on idle and no power to low pressure switch

The satnav works in that socket so will keep it as it is.

It is really only a check - last time I was out in the car I'd bunged it in the front socket and it was stuck there until yesterday but did notice that analogue gauge seemed to be reading a bit higher than usual.

No worries, good luck with tracking it.

Have a look at our Wiki here:

This will list the section with the most common component codes for wiring diagrams used by PSA vehicles.

I can only provide a diagram for a specific function (like injection or Alternator etc.) as it takes a little while to extract, format, upload and post.

Here's some more of the relevant pipework and units...
