HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PEUGEOT 307 1.6 16V 2001

squidge1982 — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 10:30:45 GMT

Hi wondering if any one can help, i have the above car 307, 1.6, and im having few issues -

When driving along today for the first time whilst accelerating - ITS STARTED TO DE ACCELERATE AND I LOST ALL POWER STOP FLASHY THING ON THE DIGITAL DASH CAME ON, and IT CUT OUT ON ME WHILST DRIVING!!! Then having to stick hazard lights on and re-start its having taking a few seconds than normal to restart.

Does any one think they might have a clue as to why it is doing this????

ALSO (LOL) before this problem occured - i have an IDLING issue - whilst stationary at lights it would shudder and cut out,i solved this one that if i sat at 2RPM it wouldnt cut out LOL, now its doing both, not really ideal with two small children in the car, a 28yr old women banging the steering wheel and having a hissy fit lol

Except for the fact of taking it too a garage and them charging me for everything under the sun i thought i might try this forum to see if any answers would come to light - to start solving the irratating matter!!!

Much appreciated if any one can help!!

THANKS KATY x

Peugot 206 wont start

95pete — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:02:17 GMT

Hi all

Just found this site and wow seems to be a lot of knowlegable members here who hopefully can help me out.

My mates daughter has a 2003 206 1.4 which refuses to start, It was parked up last Friday night and after a weekend away she went to start it on Monday but no go,

It turns over with no problem but refuses to fire, I pulled the plugs to check them out and noticed that there was a severe lack of petrol smell. After trawling the web for any possible 206 related problems most of the result seem to point to ECUs,coilpacks,injector wiring etc etc, I always had it in my mind that the fuel pump may be the culprit as she did say that the car stuttered a couple of times and even cut out last week. So I removed the plug from the fuel pump to check if there was any power getting to it and there is a 12V supply,reconnected the plug,removed the fuel line and turned over the engine but no fuel came out so now thinking that the fuel pump has gone,Would I be right in saying this ??

Cheers

Pete

Ps She put £30 of fuel in the car last Thursday so plenty there.

Morning all

Renault Master 2.2 53 plate 131000 miles

Citroen C5 HDI active suspension Fault

spheres964 — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:36:32 GMT

Hello all,

Having a head scratching time trying to pinpoint a fault on this vehicle. Car came in with suspension BHI not working{ motor U/S}. Fitted replacement BHI but still no pump operation. The Actia diagnostics indicate a missing sensor power supply- code P3551, this supplies power to the steering wheel angle sensor and the trigger input to start the pump motor , with this power missing pump obviously wont start, but I can't find where it is derived from. I have checked all relevant fuses 2 in engine fuse box and 1 in glove box but all ok.

Could it be the BSI at fault? I would appreciate any help that can be offered.

Kia Picanto oil smoke

davidwag2 — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:31:32 GMT

Hi folks,

I've got a Kia Picanto ( 05 plate 1.1, 55,000 miles) in at the moment. Came in for a basic service and now smokes really badly in the morning. Checked compressions, all good and even at 210 lb/in. Look with a bore scope showed pistons wet. All breather pipes clear and dry.Removed cylinder head to find all four bores wet and oil running down the valve stems. Exhaust ports badly caked with oil burnt on deposits. Fitted all new genuine Valve seals and gaskets, reassembled, but its still the same. Smoke is bad at first start up but cleares quite quickly, no smoke at all when hot. Valve guides all seemed good. No excessive amounts of oil left in the cam cover when removed after running.

Any ideas? as i'm at a loss as to what to do next.

Thanks

David

VW Caddy

uforea — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:55:13 GMT

2002 Caddy 1.9TDI ALH engine;

This cut out on the Motorway and AA relayed it back as they couldnt get it to start.

Tried it the next day and it started straight away but very smokey with lots of diesel knock, stopped it to clear the workshop and it wouldnt restart, same thing in the PM when it had got really cold and all the time the glow plug icon is flashing.

Because of the knock and the smoke I sent the pump for checking and sure enough the timing solenoid was kaput, pump was refitted, system bled and the engine started and didnt knock or smoke revved up ok restarted when hot but glow plug light still flashing.

ACR wouldnt talk to it so got mobile guy to have a look and he used VCDS? Dont know what the code was but it was a TPS fault and kept coming back. Got a new unit and when fitted the engine would not rev up, refitted the old one but still would not rev up, have checked all connections and wiring between TPS and the ECU.

Dont know where to go from here, any help/suggestions appreciated.

Ford Transit 2003 2.4 Duratorq - None Start

Tony5 — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:48:47 GMT

All,
Have the above for one of my customers [civil engineers, so it's having a hard life].
It won't even crank, i have no comms with the pcm or pats [using IDS]. The dash lights up ok.
When i go in manually, i can get comms with the vehicle, but again nothing with the pcm. pats comes back with no fault code, but no comms with the module due to there being either no supply, no earth, or a faulty module.
I'd have thought the vehicle would at least crank, and am wondering whether i have 2 faults [one being a faulty starter motor, causing a short?].
It wouldn't surprise me if the starter motor had been burnt out with the customer [or rather one of their employee's] keep trying to start it.
Can anyone tell me where pats is so i can test for feeds and earths? Pm's are fine due to the security nature of the problem
Another piece of info, is the van is one of many [a fleet of them countrywide], the company is a national one.
Can anyone help?
Tony

vw beetle - idling/running fault

iamwoody10 — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:03:37 GMT

Hey guy's,

got a x-reg vw beetle 2.0ltr petrol AUTO, eng code AQY.

It's doesn't idle when cold, if you hold the rev's on for about a minute it starts to idle o.k..

when the car is warm there is a misfire / flat spot when accelerating, and it's very flat when using the kick down.

i did a scan using snap-on modus, codes where :- (dealer code + P code)

16685 - P0301

16688 - P0304

16686 - P0302

16684 - P0300

16524 - P0140

16525 - P0141

16518 - P0134

I did a scan on the car about 2 weeks ago, there where about 10 other codes then. i cleared them all and sent the car on its way.

re-booked the car in for today as i was just too busy, did not expect so many codes to re-occur !!!!

any ideas what can cause all these things, before i start ripping out wiring looms and other stuff.???

I'm hoping it's not gonna be the ecu, something simple like control relay or coil pack - well here's hoping

cheers

Focus Power Loss

Stephhen — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:30:03 GMT

I've got in a 2003 Focus 1.4 FXDB The faults are erratic idle and power loss, (I sorted the idle problem it was the servo hose leaking) but while doing my checks I noticed that the lamba switching low and slow.

There is no fault codes stored I scanned it with Solas and Launch, I've smoked tested it and no leaks, the lamba reacts when you squirt propane and the MAP sensor is reading 1.25v-1.3v on idle and 4.0v on full throttle.

When I put the vac gauge on it's reading very erraticly between 16 & 22 cold this be sticky valves?

The car drives and idles fine but it's a bit gutless im running out of ideas HELP

Peugeot 307 HDI Intermittent Turbo

paul73mt — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 13:24:49 GMT

Hi, i have a 307 2.0 diesel hdi 110bhp sw. and it has got the problem where sometime the turbo will work and sometimes it won't. It will happen when it's cold or warm differnt speed and RPM's. Sometime you can put your foot down and it pull's away as it should other times you put your foot down and the REV gauge will just stay there as if it's on a rev limiter. Had a diagnostic check today and only come up with.. Intermittent fault . FRIC ( Cooling function intergral with ecu) Consistency between the fan speed and the setting (this was on the engin ecu) and on the instrument panel it's listing remote permanent fault . Fluid tempature data. incorrect value received.

They are saying a new ECU but thay want to do more tests but they say they can't test the ecu it's self i don't want to spend £600 + for the ecu when it maght not be it (i hope)

thanks for any ideas

Citroen C3 wont rev over 2-3k

mnadeem1984 — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 15:22:16 GMT

Hi people.

I have a customers Citroen C3 1.4 petrol manual (2003) come in to me. The car starts and drives, however engine management light is lit and the car will not rev over 2k when cold, or 3k when warm. With the ignition on, using a Sealey PSA scanner, or a Launch X431, I get the following faults:

1> P1631 - Internal ECU fault

2> P2101 - Motorized Throttle Command/Coherence Fault.

I have replaced the throttle body with a brand new one, however the fault codes are both still there. The ECU was sent to ECU Doctor in Plymouth, who tested the ECU and said it was fine. I have stripped the three multiconnectors from the ECU back to each individual sensor, throttle body and multifunction control module/engine bay fusebox. Wires are fine when checked for continuity. I have also checked the connectors for corrosion and again seem fine.

Citroen looked at this car and said it was the throttlebody and loom. Throttle body has not sorted anything out, and the loom seems fine. Any ideas on this one??

VW Lupo 3L -> ABS coding

Sanhor — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:11:12 GMT

car: Vw Lupo 3L tdi (ANY) with automatic gearbox.

-> problem:

the ABS and handbrake lights on dashboard keep blinking and the dashboard's snoozer doesn't stop making its annoying noise.

-> tested:

. all the wiring

. another dasbhoard (lupo's dashes are known for breaking down all the time)

. a used ABS unit

-> conclusion:

the car's abs unit has a 00000 coding and doesn't let me change it. this provokes the dashboard's problems. the used abs comes from an ibiza and gives me a trouble code naming that its coding number is incorrect but, neither ELSAwin nor VAS5052 have instructions on how to calculate coding number for this thing.

-> what i ask:

does anyone have a similar car around (lupo or arosa) and can check the ABS coding so i can try to code it on my "new" one ?

thanks in advance for your patience!

2004 Transit Connect noise

phoenix — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:19:51 GMT

Hello,

Has anybody on here had a similar problem on another Connect?

Pulling away on a hill,with a partially loaded van as you pull the clutch up to move away,there is a very loud "clack"from underneath,sounds like n/s/f.

Classic engine mount type noise.The mounts were cracked,and we have changed them,but it is the same

Loads of hours later,has revealed,nothing loose-nothing rubbing or worn.On a four poster ramp you can reproduce it at will,it is so load underneath,you cannot tell the exact location of it--

Interestingly,once you make it "clack" forward,it will not do it again until you "clack"it backwards and vise versa.

We are starting to think it could be something internal,as we can simply not see anything.the only thing thats seems to stop it is if you jam a chunk of wood alongside the lower stabiliser to reduce the amount the engine move fore and aft whem you let the clutch up

Its driving us insane!!

Regards

Darcy

Vauxhall Movano woes....;-( FIXED!!

rvf_god — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 13:36:06 GMT

Hello,

I have bought a 2003 Vauxhall Movano 2.5 Turbo Diesel that I am about to convert to a race van / motor home.

Yesterday, the glow plug light (orange) and the engine light (red) came on as well as the stop light.

The vehicle did not lose power but the fans were switched on full tilt when running.

I found that the engine control unit had fault code 1826 - Glow Plug circuit fault. I found one had gone open circuit so replaced the four. I also had a coolant temperature sensor reading of 118 degrees when cold, putting the temp sensor open circuit gives me a default value of around 70 degrees, so I know the sensor is us.

I can now erase all fault codes and none reappear, but tried to start it and now the red dot led flashes quickly on the dash panel insert as soon as I switch the ignition on and the fans come on fast speed as soon as the key is removed from the ignition. The engine just cranks and cranks also.

Anybody got any ideas....I am a VWG boy through and through! ;-)

Is there a process to "re-initialise" the immobiliser if the vehicle has not been started but unlocked for a while etc.

Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!

Kind regards

Audi A4 Idling problems

pbuzz5 — Mon, 06 Dec 2004 04:24:01 GMT

1998 Audi A4 1.6 Avant Always starts first turn and runs well till warm. Then the revs go up and down when sat on tick over and also they drop so low it cuts out. It doesn’t always do this but does seem worse the longer it is on tick over. When it does start playing the emmissions go sky high. No faults were shown on the computer when this was happening. I don’t know where to start i need help please! ??? I have read most of the pages on the forum and not sure what to do?
