Re: P0400 Code

So it seems your EGR is jammed, however whether this is jammed open or closed is a different story.... I'm pretty certain the rest position for the EGR is closed, and the vacuum pump/solenoid keep it closed until decelerating when the solenoid stops the vacuum so the EGR pings open No vacuum supply,...

Re: P0400 Code

It's 1628HC if I remember correctly.

Both solenoid valves have the same part number and the both kinda flutter open and closed but the ECU determines how quick each one flutters depending on demand.

Re: P0400 Code

Thing is, a 110Hdi will light up the EML if you disconnect the solenoid - whereas the Hdi90 is more forgiving.. Just check the vacuum pipes for any splits, or just replace them with some from eBay or something - might not fix it but it's worth doing as a matter of course. You can also swap the conne...

Re: Low beam indicator blinking and turning off any other light

There is a common fault with the Comms unit - where the tiny metal ring inside the light stalk gets worn out.

If you still have one of your old Comms units you could give the repair a go

There are a few videos on YouTube if you search for Comms unit repair

Re: Low beam indicator blinking and turning off any other light

I think you can also use the Customer Options menu to mark the auto lights as absent - it's been a few years since I've dabbled with it .... :roll:

Re: Low beam indicator blinking and turning off any other light

Have you disabled the auto lights using PP2000 too? I once enabled the DRL but it messed around with the lights, disabling auto lights fixed it. Using the button on the end of the lights stalk will turn on/off auto lights but occasionally the car would turn them back on again just to upset me so I d...

Re: My 406 is driving me crazy, need some help

Some aftermarket sensors are a bit hit and miss, some are great whereas others are inferior. If you still have the old MAF then plug that back in - the EML might not go out straight away mind. You also mentioned the oscillating revs - there is a chance your throttle sensor needs a clean - it's easy ...

Re: high pressure fuel pipe leak

For the record - ignore the usual 'glow plug relay' fault as it seems most Hdis do this and it's nothing to worry about.

Well done Welters - seems like you've got your feet under the proverbial table :cheesy: Capt - sorry to hear about your boy, I hope he's doing okay? My boy was diagnosed with Coeliac a few months ago - it's taking some adjusting but we'll get there - not really a comparison though. I've still got th...

Re: high pressure fuel pipe leak

To be honest I've not come across this before - I've had a few 2.2hdis and never suffered from fuel/pump issues.

Again, check for unnecessary movement around the areas of the pipe ( engine and gearbox mounts? ) but other than that I can't help, sorry.

Re: Changed Battery now car will not start (Immobiliser fault)

To be honest that's actually a fair price - it's worth keeping that guy's number :cheesy:

Like you said, it's way cheaper than buying a new car 😁

Re: Changed Battery now car will not start (Immobiliser fault)

That's a good result, I hope it wasn't too costly.... Pity the dealer was less than helpful, I guess he/she needs to be cautious. So, I'm sure there is a procedure to allow the remote to work - it's something like..... Ignition on number 2, press and hold the lock button on the remote for 10 seconds...

Hi Guy, sorry I've been away for a couple of days.

Re: Cylinder reference sensor

Hello Guy. Sadly I'm not much use as I'm more of a diesel owner - however seeing as you have PP2K then you can check the coherence of the crank sensor and the cam sensor. If either one fails it's a definite non start. Try there first, or have a peek at the wiring/connector on the sensors. Merry Chri...
