Hi, i cant remember at this stage as it has been a few years since i worked on this car. Apologies for not making a note of it in the video. As an alternative recommendation perhaps measure the bolt head with a set of vernier callipers or ask on the suzuki alto or nissan pixo owners clubs

@@peugeotCitroen2CV Oh wow. Honestly i didn't expect an answer at all. I've ordered a set including most common sockets (both square/hexagon and torx) from Amazon which should do. I'll make sure they fit before i drain it. Thanks!

Hi there Not to sure what that specific code means, bar a cursory google saying it relates to the EGR I never worked on any 4 cylinder petrol 406, just the V6 and only a few jobs What i would recommend is try a more sophisticated obd fault code reader or even better Peugeot planet 2000 and asking on the owners club

Haha thanks for that, out of interest what did your mechanic quote you? This isnt my day job i done it for a mate as a favour and probably done it very cheap for the amount of time that it took.

@peugeotCitroen2CV I paid £550 all in but he also replaced a failing mount and x2 ball joints, blown away how much work went into into job

Google translate has gave me "Paula gathered. Preshovage with Pola Heat Engine" i assume it has got the translation wrong.

You're welcome!

Thanks for the comment

Thanks for the sub! Glad you liked the video.

The clios are brilliant at resisting the rust, only area they go is the radiator support bar which is an easy bolt off part.

HI 55:29 50Nm plus a further angle tighten of 150 degrees is the official workshop spec for that bolt.

Hi there, I do not think it is, the 2.5 is it not a V6? Im thinking 2.5 TDI they sold here in possibly the A4 and A6 i think they didnt have the best reputation. Or are you on about the 2.5 petrol engine, we never got that here as far as i am aware. VAG stuff isnt really my area of expertise.

Hi there, May i ask what do you mean? Fresh coolant was poured into the cooling circuit via the reservoir.

8:52 there is no coolant in the reservoir. Thats not something you should top up unless there is a leak somewhere

@@jimbob6290 Ah apologies there is a separate timing belt video (I mistakenly thought that was what was being commented on) a cambelt change was going on at the same time and the way the video has been edited it appears the coolant is low here but i can assure you the car left filled with coolant. I seem to have pulled footage at some point that was during the cambelt change both jobs were done at the same time but edited into separate videos

Hi there, More in depth diagnostics may be required to determine if it is this sensor, if the signal is getting to the ECU or if the immobiliser is unlocking. This is an old video now that covered a common issue with the Clio at the time, but with time there are potentially more issues that could cause the car not to start. Although hopefully it should not be anything too complicated as these are a simple engine. If you do get it sorted let me know as it would be good to hear what it was.

Hi there, I am not too sure to be honest i never had to do it It was possible to remove the matrix on the 406 but not the 306 I have the workshop maual here and it says remove the dashboard, However its worth trying to remove the glovebox and possibly the steering column depending on if your car is LHD or RHD, it might be possible to squeeze it past possibly with a small bit of trimming. However without having specifically removed the heater matrix on its own i dont know if its possible.

@@peugeotCitroen2CV l finished job,only half dashboard l moved, nothing special to do

Not much to go wrong with the SDI engines in fairness. The body of this succumbed to rust long before the engine failed.

Glad it helped

They are indeed surprisingly fiddly to remove, not sure why it had to be that fiddly as the rest of the dash is fairly easy. I assume if the berlingo has climate control its just a couple of plugs but i haven't seen a B9 that actually had that option ticked.

What is it good for? Is what google translate has translated. I do not understand the question.

Hi there, to be honest since i made this video i have not really done any other maintenance or repairs to this pressure washer its still holding together quite well.

Hi there It has been a fair while since i did this job, i think i might have drained the oil the car got a full coolant flush due to the oil going into the coolant. Just cant remember 100% what i did but draining the oil would be good practice.

Thanks for the comment

Hi there An unusual problem indeed, i suppose it rains here so much i never cared that the washer fluid got on the bonnet. I was still enjoying seeing the jets pop out of the bumper like a smaller version of pop up headlights As for a solution you could remove the wheel arch liners and either disconnect the motor for the pump that serves those washers, i cant remember at this stage if the 406 used a separate pump for the headlight washers or sent the pressure through the same line as the windscreen jets, if its the latter then the piping will need to be disconnected and appropriately blanked off. There could also be an option in peugeot planet to disable them, again im not sure as its been a while since ive worked on the 406.

@@peugeotCitroen2CV thats some good advice thanks. so apparently on type 3 engine bay fuse box the number 7 fuse for the headlight washer should be a 20A but mine has a blue 15A. Im just going to pull it out and hopefully it stops messing up the hood.

worked like a charm. just pulled that 15A and no more messy hood

Thanks for the question

Hi there, i think i went back at some point in the video to correct that? Yes the workshop manual does show the correct place that the gold coloured links are meant to go, although its more crucial that the engine is kept to TDC as the markings on the chain are mainly there as a guide.

I was following the nissan workshop manual Although there would be some who would happily use a bit of tippex to mark the engine at TDC i wanted to do this properly especially when showing it on a video. If i had to do another one i would try and draw and 3D print a tool to hold the crankshaft by locking it relative to some of the timing cover bolt holes.

Hi Not 100% sure about where the abs bleeding option is in the software but its not hard to rummage through the menus to find it Strange though, not many PSA cars where i have needed to use anything other than this pressure bleeder. Is there no fluid at all 4 wheels?

Im about to go try again with the pressure bleeder. I only tried on wheel furthest from the master cylinder. Im gonna try setting the bleeder up and encouraging the flow with a dab on the brake pedal. Msny thanks for yourcreply and the excellent video.

Ack its not too bad, a lot worse out there to work on

Thanks for letting me know it has worked for you!

You're welcome! Glad to hear it helped

good to read you got it sorted, they can be a bit tight to get in

Hi there, There is a long version of this video, check the description its the first link provided

Hi there Generally anything featured in the video, ask away and i can let you know what i used But as a rough overview to do this a 1/4 socket set, a set of torx bits or screwdrivers, trim removal pry tools and a pair of trim removal pliers is good for releasing the door panel clips. Also a small flathead screwdriver is handy for connectors.

@@peugeotCitroen2CV that’s great thank you. I’m helping a friend tomorrow who had his smashed. Just checking if I had all the tools and I do. Appreciate it. Keep it up! 👍🏻

As they were not giving any problems it did not seem like they needed any attention at this time, the service history showed they had been done the year before i got the car

Hi there, I would not be 100% sure on that one myself, but Kingbolen customer support i found quite good with any questions i had about the device, they should be able to let you know if it works. All i know is it works on my old 2002 Peugeot 406 where back in the earlier days it was quite fussy about needing peugeot specific diagnostic equipment. Its also worked on anything else i have plugged it into.

Hi, i think these use an electric motor that drives a hydraulic pipe so you need to look around the engine bay for it. But i am not 100% sure. They could well be using a fully electric system now

Its now back on the road, 2.1 TD with a Bosch VE pump conversion

@@peugeotCitroen2CV :ooo Will you show us how the HPP conversion works?

@@SzwarcuKX5 I will not make any promises on that one, i got the car in March 2022, but it developed issues with its lucas pump in the summer and i started the process of removing it and getting the bosch parts from a 405 engine. I think ive the footage of the lucas pump coming off. Although then i went and done a masters between September 2022 to September 2023 and then didnt really get back to this 406 until January of 2024. The pump came back off and was rebuilt by a chap in England. I have it on currently, it needs a bit of a tune as its quite leisurely but still nice to drive. I will definitely do a timing belt video but just not sure about the actual pump conversion. I dont think i recorded anything of the Bosch going back on.

@@peugeotCitroen2CV I see. What pump did you use for conversion?

@@SzwarcuKX5 A bosch VE pump from a 1994 peugeot 405 1.9 TD Actually need to get another pump as i nabbed it off a good 1.9🤣

Its the maze of pipes covering the cambelt cover thats the most hassle, and im not a fan of the fact diagnostic equipment is needed to bleed the coolant or fuel system when bleed screws and a primer button would have made it much more DIY friendly. Although when you get the covers off on this engine, the belt arrangement is handy enough.

@@peugeotCitroen2CV like BMW ..over complicated for what it needs to be .for us people who work on our cars they do all this to put us off .great work tho on your part

Hi, i do not think the 1.2 engines were ever offered in twin cam variety, even this being a 16v it was through a single camshaft. Possibly the 1.6 might have been although i might not have enough pub quiz knowledge about the renault petrols🤣. The 172 and 182 i would imaine were twin cam revvy engines. There was the TCe version of this 1.2 engine in the clio mk3, a bit of a bugger on to do stuff like a starter change due to pipes being in the road but it does have a useful bit of extra torque. The naturally aspirated D4F really feels a bit underpowered in the heavier MK3. Its still offered in the MK4 which really did feel quite sluggish although its a basic engine so not much to go wrong and good for urban driving. Although id actually go for the 1.5 DCI K9K engine it suits those renaults a lot better, especially on the motorway where the petrols can get a bit droney.

my car does not fill up the fuel filter case when turning on the ignition… its a 2003 406 HDI90 (2.0) it has 2 fuel hoses and 1 electrical plug

Hi there If the fuel filter has not reached its full capacity it may not start, it could take more turns on of the ignition but also check that when the in tank pump is whirring that the fuel filter house isnt leaking out any diesel

@@peugeotCitroen2CV thanks for tour reply! turn out my engine doesnt prime the fuel automatically but manually via a small rubber ball which needs pumping.

@@sezamdonaldo5335 Ah is it a 90? That ball, the priming bulb you need to keep pumping at it until it goes firm, possibly remove the end of that pipe where it goes into the filter housing and double check that its pumping diesel okay, put that pipe back on and then check the other end to make sure diesel is passing out the other side of the filter on its way to the pump. Use an old drinks bottle to capture the escaping diesel.
