Re: 406 LX 2.0 HDI

Well I have it running, after being totally f*cked around by the incompetent car spares companies this week. I rate ECP's customer service better than GSF's now btw. I took a chance at my local scrappy and fitted a lift pump from the only 2.0 hdi in the yard that cost me a tenner and... https://yout...

Re: 406 LX 2.0 HDI

Extremely unhappy. After ECP supplied the wrong part. GSF have now not only supplied the wrong part but have supplied a broken part. They told me over the phone that it was a Bosch unit, I tried it anyway and the diameter was too small. https://i.ibb.co/gD3Vhr8/20190124-153628.jpg url=https://ibb.co...

Re: 406 LX 2.0 HDI

Well let's say it didn't go as planned. Firstly I have a mystery leak. There is a puddle of water underneath the seat. Also shards of glass. https://i.ibb.co/mNQNdhm/20190122-144733.jpg Getting to the pump was easy enough though. There was a bead of silicone around the housing. Does seem the origina...

Re: 406 LX 2.0 HDI

Well I've not touched the 406 since bunging up the EGR vac hose (in a mechanical sense that is). I have put 5k miles on it since October. However I was in the car park at work this morning and https://youtu.be/5QiTN7tCU7w It doesn't start, to save you the trouble of watching the link. No pre warning...

Re: 406 LX 2.0 HDI

Thankyou very much ginger magic, I bunged up the pipe as described and it feels pretty much like a different car, no longer hesitant when accelerating. The erratic idle has almost gone completely and power delivery is just generally smoother. I'll still add the blanking plate when I've got some time...

Re: 406 LX 2.0 HDI

Thanks for the interest guys and I've read up on hdi tuning i was going to go for one of them maps for my berlingo. Its true they are getting thin on the ground. I see one or two on my travels but there arent many cars with 'proper' regs on the road any more. Alls not well though. I've got a suspect...

Re: 406 LX 2.0 HDI

First hiccup tonight. Was happily driving along when my foot went practically to the floor with no throttle pedal resistance at all! I probably got 2000 rpm with my foot to the floor. A little look under the bonnet https://image.ibb.co/kgLoR9/20181013-182702.jpg Can you spot it?? https://image.ibb.c...

Re: 406 LX 2.0 HDI

Thanks mate this is sound advice, I'll pick up a pollen filter later on this week. I'm sure there are plenty of guides out there on changing it. Cheers
