Hi all I'm having problems with my 406 TD (1.9 XUD9TE) Basically its leaking fuel from the injector pump, and its doing it without hesitation! I've sourced the leak to this area of the injector pump http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v466/badjfez/SP_A0511-1.jpg Its seeping from under there somewhere,...

Incontience? Best not to let people with weak bladders drive your car.


Sorry couldnt resist it

Just to update, bought a solid type bush (rubber one) and it fit fine and there doesnt seem to be any play

Hey all

Quick question for anyone who might know...

The rear hub bushes (the one at the bottom of the hub that holds it onto the axle arm) have two types of bush - rose jointed and solid.


Does it really matter if you use a solid bush where a rose jointed one once was?

cheers

It was drums, turned out the adjusters werent adjusting on there own, sorted it now. Failed mot on emissions, and nearside rear lower suspension arm bush The car seems to not want to rev over 4k rpm ish when im going along (its a 97 1.9td). It only just failed emissions but thought it might have som...

Sounds like it could be air in the fuel line if you say after it release it was fine for a bit, suggesting you might have a slight leak in the fuel line (i.e. the priming valve or a return line) Does it start well? Also check the turbo-intercooler and the rubber hose that comes off the top of the fu...

Hi all, Wondered if anyone could shed some light on todays issue. Basically the handbrake was crap, so I attempted to adjust the seized and rusty cable, which resulted in the thread snapping off. Got a new cable for the N/S/R, and I took the drum off (the shoes don't look very old at all) and fitted...

I'll try and sort it and let you all know how I get on then!

Fair enough, I just thought there might be some signs that indicate worn linkages, i.e. excessive play in the joints

the linkage for 3rd/4th gear seems like its seen better days, theres quite a bit of play in it. what are the usual signs of excessive wear?

I've done plenty of cambelts on XUD diesels, but they've all been in 306's, however I've never known it to be necessary to use that 'adjuster' or whatever it is supposed to be. It seems to be really sluggish compared to a 306, although I am aware it probably weighs about 200kg more, but it still see...

yeah cheers, just got confused bout what you had quoted!

i'll have a poke round it tomorrow. cheers

looks like what? or is that the wrong post in wrong thread?

Didn't think about the linkages cheers will have a check. Where is the fluid level hole on these? on the end of the 'box like the 306 ones?

right ok cheers :lol: I thought it was something to do with the fan but as I've sorted that it aint! My injection pump seems to be missing a bolt, looking from the passenger side of the pump, at the bottom corner. It has a long cut out (as if it can be set to a particular angle, almost like what you...
