Re: ELM327

Pugs (and Citroens) didn't start using standard protocols reliably until 2001. Before then it was very hit-and-miss with the HDi ECUs as to what protocol and variant they speak. Pre-2001 Petrols and the TDs have next to no chance of being read by anything cheap bar a lightbulb :evil: Such a shame, ...

Re: ELM327

Update on this issue! I've gone out and bought a U585 which is basically an U581 and VAG 5053 in one unit, It picks up the protocol as KWP2000, but does nothing else what so ever, doesn't even know the MIL is on! No live data, nothing, not a damn thing! I've plugged the device into the 08 Mazda 2, t...

Re: Key Fobs & Locks

Both of my locks on my 406 use to spin continually, it wasn't until I got a can of WD40 and Servisol and proceeded to key f*ck my lock to death it eventually sprung in to life! I never did solve the mystery of why my central locking through the fob didn't work though! Oh well, thats a job for anothe...

ELM327

Hello,

Anyone had problems with ELM327 showing fault codes? It says I have a fault code, it allows me to clear them and then when it comes back correctly identifies that I have a fault code but just refuses to tell me what the damn thing is!

The car is a 406 1999 2.0 HDI 110

Thanks,

Phil

Re: 406 2.0 HDI (110) CAT - D8/D8.5

I've checked out the EGR, everything appears to be fine. Cleaned everything anyway - made no difference. I've arranged to get diagnostics sent out to me on monday which will shed some light in terms of getting some live data and see what fault comes up first. I'll report back when I have that inform...

Re: 406 2.0 HDI (110) CAT - D8/D8.5

I cleared them, drive normally up and down the road, dies, codes come up again. Rinse Repeat. As for the live data being read, thats not an option at this point in time, unfortunatly. I'll have to run with the codes that i've got and see what I can come up with. This weekend is going to be a bundle ...

Re: 406 2.0 HDI (110) CAT - D8/D8.5

Well, I just got a phone call from the other half since they decided to call her and not me. Fault codes where conclusive with Injector 1 3 and 4 problems.... I don't think so somehow. I totally flat out refuse to consider that as the problem given that when you put your foot down it spits out loads...

Re: 406 2.0 HDI (110) CAT - D8/D8.5

Nope, no puddles. I can't think of anything else it could of been, before the CAT was replaced the hole was huge and with the bonnet up it would start, idle and rev a little, with the bonnet closed, it would start, idle for a bit then cut out. Until I have them fault codes i'll be none the wiser, ev...

Re: 406 2.0 HDI (110) CAT - D8/D8.5

Directly the problem with the CAT shouldn't cause any problems, unless in my case that the gasses being thrown out of the mesh go in the engine bay and replace the clean air that would normally be drawn in, and thus flag a fault based on that. But really until I get them fault codes I wont know what...

Re: 406 2.0 HDI (110) CAT - D8/D8.5

For the short, really short period of time it was working OK, it was clearly evident that the exhaust system was functioning normally, as you said a nice volume of air being fired out. I expect that they simply did not seat it correctly and it's since now sat correctly and the joint at the manifold ...

Re: 406 2.0 HDI (110) CAT - D8/D8.5

Thats what I thought also, I couldn't find anything at all relating to fault codes due to a failing CAT, though when it starts blowing it cuts-out, when it doesn't blow, it runs! Odd, I'm going to push for the fault codes so I can better understand what is going on. I did forget to mention since the...

406 2.0 HDI (110) CAT - D8/D8.5

Hello, My cat for the past few weeks has been blowing right at the top, last week it died completely, being enough exhaust gases leaked into the engine bay and flagged up the Fault Light, entered limp mode and barely even idles let alone runs! Does anyone know off the top of the head what faults its...
