1.6HDi full annual service (Peugeot Partner 2007)

[@RATADATUAVELHA]

37:30 bless you man! you saved my life...nobody in the forums or other videos could explain or show how to pump fuel after fuel filter is replaced. my Partner wasn't starting and after I saw your video, I went my van, pump it and started almost normally...after 10 seconds of cranking. thank you again!

[@TheWhitenergy]

Great video mate. i recently bought 2 years ago my partner 2007 1.6hdi and i really love it. i did all the services as you did mate. This week i managed to remove my egr , and egr cooler and the pipe to the intake manifold, after 175.200km. it was really really carbonized. as i was replacing my injectors seals, i also removed my intake manifold. it was 80% of it carbonized with oily. it took me a day to remove all the hell from it and meanwhile i cleaning the port for intake valves which they were a complete mess!! 60% carbonized. i manage to do this by breaking the carbon with a flat screwdriver and vacuum cleaner. after 3 days of cleaning and high serviced, i went to start up and 'boom!' noise. I found that the starter had gone!! bought one today from local peugeot shop for 160euros, and trust me, it is a pain in the ass to remove this starter and put it back. But now i fixed it back and it is amazing how a different run the engine have after removing all that carbon!! my advice is, dont waste money on sprays like egr cleaners and intake valve spray ecc. it wont work for sure if your engine is 175.200km like mine. :) thanks mate for your great videos!!!

[@moremolecules]

Many thanks indeed for the comment, really appreciated. I always had it on my to do list to remove the carbon, just not enough time to do it. Yeah, the alternator is a nightmare, I did it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmbHgmyhfrGYma8

[@guillaumevandenbossche1427]

Very good job, you are doing the work perflectly well. One thing I do additionally each service is to check the tightening of the injectors. My car (308 sw 1.6 hdi 110hp) is now 220 000 km and this prevent injector copper gasker leakage so far. I like your accent, no need to use the subtitles! Greatings from France!

[@moremolecules]

Hi Guillaume, many thanks indeed for the encouragement. Yes, I checked them once and they had not moved from factory build. I would have included it, but these bolts are angular tightening bolts and they stretch in order to get their torque settings. It is rather difficult to know what kind of torque settings to use to tighten them again. Some low settings of for example 10-15Nm should do the job, although I have read somewhere 25Nm, but that is way too much. In all cases these are prone to snapping. But all in all I agree that these have to be checked, it is one of the primary cause of turbo failure in thee engines.

[@guillaumevandenbossche1427]

@@moremolecules Hello, Thank you for your reply. I do not apply a specific torque when cheking for these bolts, but just do it manually using a short length lever wrench and tightening them very gently. Each service from 20 000 km to 120 ... 140 000 km it was necesary to tigthen some bolts just a little, but beyond that mileage no need to do it any more.

[@moremolecules]

​@@guillaumevandenbossche1427 That sounds perfect. I generally go no more than 6-7Nm and max 10Nm, but you can do it manually as well. I generally do not trust my hand to not overtighten them, hahaha.

Just purchased a 2009 Berlingo 1.6 HDi I found this video extremely helpful.Thanks !!

[@JohnGross-kr9lt]

Great video for all car owners have got a 1.6 HDI engine. I have the same car, Peugeot Partner with 1.6 HDI 90KM 9HXC engine, bought as a second owner a few years ago. I'm absolutely surprised that my car and its engine are still alive, considering the terrible service done by the first owner, and many so-called professional mechanics; for example, they tore off the base of the air filter and damaged many electrical and mechanical connections. That experience annoyed me a lot as they charged me for damaging my car, so now I do most of the servicing myself. The engine survived these "professional repairs" probably only because I regularly change the oil every 10,000 km, the air filter, and the fuel filter every 20,000 km. The car currently has a mileage of 195,000 km. I have two questions about the type of engine oil. I use (like the previous owner) Mobil Super 2000 type 10 W 40, mainly in Austria, where the climate is colder than in the GB. I drive my car quite rarely on highways, but lot in the city and the countryside for short distances. That's why the oil is always so dark black and dirty after every oil change. What to do to make it more clean? Will it help, and is it worth using so-called engine flush before changing the engine oil, and then replacing used oil with a new one? I don't plan to buy a new car knowing that almost all of them are very difficult & expensive to do any service, so an average user can only fix the wheels (by replacing them). Even a simple light bulb is difficult to change in new cars due to the lack of access and special tools needed, and most engine repairs require a computer with expensive diagnostic software. Ha ha! Lol! Thanks, in advance, for answering my questions about how to make engine oil more clean after replacement.

[@moremolecules]

Not too sure if I replied, I thought I did. Any oil that is equal to the spec recommended by Peugeot/Citroen is alright. I would not worry too much about the oil being black. It is a sooty engine and the oil just turns black within a few miles/km. You could potentially flush or change the oil twice, but I doubt it is worth it. Change it every 6 months or say 10k km. That is more than enough. I also change the fuel/diesel filter every year or say 10k km or thereabouts. I think in the booklet for my car it says every 40,000 miles, but that will lead to all sorts of problems. Probably the easiest way is to suck all the oil that is at the bottom of the sump with a syringe and tubing. If you get ~200ml of oil that is the best you can do. Some people change the oil, drive for 100km and then change it again. That would certainly clean it better, but it is too much of expense to do. Hope that makes sense.

[@arunpalani16]

Nice video people can understand easily. very good quality video , very good Patience speaking. Thanks 😊

[@BenRawlins1]

Thankyou! Brill video and saved me so much time faffing with the fuel filter

[@CASHSEC]

After understanding the start point of the requirement to maintain the 14.7/1 air/fuel burn throughout all engine loads I decided to attempt to review the air filter. Dissemble of the parts was not straight forward as unofficial mods had been implemented. It was impossible to remove the air box without moving the priming bulb. Anyway the job was done. The filter was badly choked and so the engine would never give good performance. So to improve the breathing I hoovered the filter and removed about 80% of the dust and grime. Running much better. More power and tick over much smoother. The whole design of the front section of the air input is very poor and I expect in later models has been improved. Thank you M and M.

[@moremolecules]

For diesels the air to fuel ratio is slightly different, not by much, but 14.5:1. Dirty air filter is always going to be bad for fuel consumption and engine running. They are fairly cheap, better to replace it than cleaning it. There will be fine dust particles that you would not be able to hoover up. Nevertheless, better to clean/hoover than doing nothing 🙂

[@GJ-zx6nr]

Changed fuel filter in my 308 this was the best out there, thank you. Very well explained and highlighted key points showing the small things like clip and plug removal. up close, great camera work. I did have problems starting even after manual priming for 1/2 hr. Ended up pulling out again all plugs ok and ended up filling filter with diesel, Worked then. Note that the priming pump does get harder to pump but doesn’t get really hard.

[@moremolecules]

Many thanks indeed for the good words. Sometimes the valve on the hand priming pump gets buggered. It is supposed to be a one-way valve, so pumping should get all the air out. It might be that yours is now a two-way valve. Maybe I should have said something in the video. Glad you sorted it out though 🙂

The cabin pollen filter is only present in vehicles with air conditioning. Mine does not have one, so cannot show how it is replaced. In general for the Peugeot Partner it is by the passenger feet, by the cabin fan. You can pull it out and replace it.

[@christophernation4793]

Crawling under a car with a socket saves the price of a bottle of Scotch but if that's no longer an option, it can be drained with one of those cheap pumps - about £15. The first time I used it it only shifted about 1/2 - 1.5 l - but a comment by a reviewer of the pump recommended putting the car on a slight down-slope. I just did this today - the car would have edged fwd with the h/brake off - and the pump shifted pretty much the lot. I should have measured the old oil to check - next time. I hope it works on the g/box filler hole, too. I'll let you know.

[@moremolecules]

Yes, that is a very good option if one cannot be underneath. Good advice on the position of the engine for the drainage. Many thanks

Hi great videos very helpful.what grade and spec gearbox oil would you recommend for 1.6hdi diesel thankyou 🙏

[@msnorway79]

Thank you 😊 I got told to put diesel in before putting it in, but there are different videos but your car matches mine best 😊 so I'll do ut your way 😊

[@moremolecules]

You could put diesel in he filter before putting it in. Either way you have to purge the system, so with the rubber bulb does the same things as putting diesel inside, no difference. The problem is that these filters cannot be opened very easy, so that is why I do not put diesel inside. The small valve on top can be used for diesel, but they generally twist a bit and do not seal very well afterwards.

[@msnorway79]

@@moremolecules this is my first time changing all filters and I'm not the most steady person, so best to not open anything I dont have to 😆

[@johnners911]

Hi buddy. Thanks so much for your videos. I've just bought a Berlingo with 160000 miles. I've done a full service from your videos and cleaned up the engine. There was a lot of oil / coke around the engine bay, right down onto the alternator. I bought this as a cheap day to day run around on a tight budget, like most of us. It ran fine for a week but now I'm getting a loss of power, jerking, then the SToP sign on the dash. Turbo looks ok. Injectors are dirty but seem tight, they sound ok with stethoscope. When the STOP light comes on, the engine dies, but will start again after a minute and run fine for a while. Any suggestions where I can look next? Many thanks in advance. PS. Are you Polish? I spent a year in your country many years ago, before the EU and had a great time. I hope you're treated as well in the UK as I was in your country. Best wishes, John

[@moremolecules]

Hi John, thank you very much for the kind words, much appreciated. When you say oil/coke, do you mean there is a sludgy carbon build up around the injectors? This is generally a sign of a failed copper o-ring in the injector seat. I would clean it and monitor if new stuff build again. It is a fairly easy job to take out the injectors and put a new seal at the bottom, you would need a reamer tool as well. Cutting out is a bit difficult to diagnose remotely, but start with the easy stuff, say an injector cleaner, I do not believe in the stuff, but it's probably worth a try. Check if the battery is OK, a lot of stuff could stem from this. Also, you could try to disconnect the MAF sensor and see if that improves anything. If it is better without the MAF, then a new MAF is needed, or potentially a clean, maybe. If you have not replaced the fuel filter, I would definitely do that. Cutting out is generally fuel related, so really clogged fuel filter might be a reason, say it was low on fuel and picked up stuff from the fuel tank. It may be worth cleaning the EGR valve as well. All in all, if you have access to Diagbox/PP2000/Lexia is worth hooking it up to and read any errors. They are a bit expensive and a generic OBDII reader might also work, before starting to replace things.

[@CASHSEC]

Just to add experience to this I had an old non-turbo escort diesel van that cut out continuously but would start again after a period of rest. Three trips to the garage and about £300 labour they found a crack in the fuel line right at the Tank. The repair fixed that one.

[@יעקבכהן-ד3ט]

You explain the whole process excellently.👍 Every few kilometers should the diesel filter be replaced?

[@moremolecules]

I think Peugeot recommends to service it every 60,000 km, but in my humble opinion that is way too long. I do it every 20,000km

[@CASHSEC]

So clear. Brilliant. A favour please. Could you do a short video on the 1.6 HDI Berlingo 2007 to identify location and names of all the sensors in the inlet manifold plus the sensor under the Flexi pipe that feeds from the EGR intercooler output to the inlet manifold. Finally where is the vacuum release valve located that controls the vacuum pressure to the turbo Waste gate actuator.. Reason. Trying to track down over boost tripping problem.

[@moremolecules]

Thank you 🙂 I'll see what I can do. The vacuum pressure valve is at the back of the engine on the left (looking from the front). If you search "1.6HDi turbo solenoid", e.g. c4owners.org/plugins/forum/attachment/1/1423739863_1_FT204284_c4_1.6hdi_solenoid.jpg and here www.peugeotforums.com/threads/turbo-solenoid-valve.30056/ It is a orange-ish looking solenoid with a few pipes coming in/out

[@CASHSEC]

Thanks. I will follow the pipe back from the actuator.

[@CASHSEC]

From More Molecules lead found this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHm8aKqraZp0q7c

[@CASHSEC]

After further research wrt 1.6 hdi Berlingo I have identified the following sensors on the intake of the Engine. 1. MAF. (Mass Air Flow)LOCATION straight after AIR FILTER HOUSING mounted as an integral part of the elliptical housing above the fuel filter on the Near side. 2. MAT(Mass Air Temperature) LOCATION @10 o'clock straight after the Throttle vane on the intake tube. On the Off side top of engine. 3. MAP(Manifold Air Pressure) LOCATION @ 2 O'clock immediately after Temperature sensor. This is the next thing to check for soot and oil build up. It's been in the car for 150k miles. Finally I mention the cam position indicator sensor. This is located directly under the EGR intercooler flexipipe where it enters the inlet. Someone change this sensor in a video and it extiguished the Engine warning light. I can't see how this is related to overboost issue. If this doesn't stop the overboost error then next it will investigation of vacuum relief valve and circuit lines followed by wastgate operation. Finally the Haynes manual indicates that the Turbo is designed to produce a pressure of 1 bar(15lbs/[] inch) at 3000 rpm if that's any help. Will update if I find anything further worth adding.

[@moremolecules]

@@CASHSEC Good detective work! Is it a 92bhp or 110bhp? If it is the 92bhp, I would check the turbo solenoid for overboost, rather than the other sensors. If it is the 110bhp, you can check the turbo vane nozzles if they are stuck. The turbo pressure is 1bar above the current atmospheric pressure. The boost readout will be the atmosphere + the boost from the turbo.

[@Igotknobblies]

My partner has just reached 100,000 miles...time for some TLC. Great description on how yo go about it all thankyou. One thing I'm concerned about, I'm told the oil supply line yo the turbo has a filter that can slowly become blocked with obvious disastrous effect. Have you done this before and is it of concern? Also the injector retaining bolts can loosen. Definitely worth re-torqueing to stop the 'black death'!

[@moremolecules]

Yes, the turbo has a filter, but it does not become slowly blocked. It can of course become blocked. Regular and more frequent changing oil/filters help keep it clean. If you want you can replace the old-style banjo bolt filter with the new design. I did it here and showing the old vs. new style: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3m8kKiGl7WZr8k When I opened the turbo banjo bolt with the filter, my 1.6HDi was ~95k miles and the filter was spotless. Yes, pretty spot on for the injector bolts, I have described it in here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaWZq313g7GUj7M

[@nelsonthekinger]

Molecules if I understood correctly you took 2000ml out of 4075ml. Why you only took that, and didn't took a larger percentage of the old oil? Like 4000ml? (I'm a novice) I know that some people use a new bottle for pushing the old oil, and then they fill up with another bottle. But I was think is the oil stuck somewhere? Like turbo or something and for that reason he can't drain something closer to 4075ml? Cheers

[@chessf]

@@moremolecules Well, there is oil in the gear box and there is also a small white plastic fluid tank used by the semi-auto box to change gears. It is located just under the actuator/s control module. It has a filler screw-on cap on top and a Min and Max mark on one side. My 'other' classic car takes ultra thin Dextrol III fluid in it's autobox, so I thought I best ask before topping the C4 up.

[@moremolecules]

@@chessf Ahh, it is automatic gearbox I suspect? I am not too sure. I have a Peugeot 307 with automatic gearbox (AL4 I think), but it does not have this small tank. It has a special procedure to drain/refil, a bit more complicated.

Got all the parts I needed from euro car parts which was brilliant just gave them my reg and they gave me all the right bits and oil. Going to fit the dpf filter tomorrow but annoyingly the fan going in limp mode killed the battery so difficult getting it back up on ramps. So far all the parts and a new 108 piece socket set has cost less than quote from garage at least! One question, is it bad to have a tiny bit too much oil on dip stick?

@@ollyjackson8733 A little bit is not that much of a problem, like a 1mm should not be too bad. The problem with a little bit of oil is that is gets frothy and everything gets clogged.

@@kadirhanatmaca That is a different topic of discussion. In a garage here (UK) for all these they charge me £300. It really depends on the quality of the replacement parts and of course labour.

Are there 2 types of fuel filter for this car? My replacement one is slightly different. Instead of the piece that gets swapped to the new one sliding in from the end, it is held in place from the "front" and needs to be angled in. Does this sound right? Peugeot didn't seem to know the answer

Hi I find a bit of diesel on top of my diesel filter every time , do you think it’s cracked or does feed pipe have seals in them ? It’s new

[@moremolecules]

Ah, that is a bit wierd. Never seen it before. Is it always or when you replace it. Are you certain it is diesel? Also, there is a valve on top of the filter and it could be leaking a bit, but this would mean that you would get ait in the filter and potentially hard starting. I would check if the valve on top is secured quite good. Of course, the 2 pipes could be leaking a bit as well, but then again air in the system and hard starting. Do you get any symptoms or not at all?

So, I've ordered that oil syringe but it came with only 300mm tube, which is definitely not long enough. Can someone confirm the od. The tube in the video seem to be less than 12mm od.

[@moremolecules]

Hi there. Apologies, maybe I should have said that the syringe came with a very short tube. I bought a separate, longer tube so I can fit it to the bottom of the sump. Probably I made a mistake in the description of the video. I will correct that. The tubing is 7mm OD, 8mm will also probably do. I just went to measure it. Apologies about that

@@moremolecules No worries! I bought what looks like 8mm od (can't measure it the caliper ran out of battery) and I can barely get it in. Still managed to get about 500ml oil out. The garage I went for service overfilled. It seems to be near the max now. Btw great videos!

[@moremolecules]

@@shmatic9665 Ahh, yes overfilling could be pretty bad. I think it was 7mm OD, as I measured it, but it is a bit cold outside and that tube has been used for quite a bit, so it might have shrank a bit, but probably 7 OD.

[@moremolecules]

Depends on the condition of course. Maybe it is alright if the condition is OK. Mine is ~170,000km and ie going strong, but I have kept on top of most things. As long as oil/oil filters have been changed regularly, should be alright. I would ask if the EGR was ever replaced or cleaned. At that milleage you would expect the EGR to go. A brand new original is quite expensive.

@@declanmurphy729 All sorts of reasons why people sell the cars they have 🙂 EGR valves are not that expensive if you do the work yoursel, but in a garage probably a bit expensive relative to the price of the car of course. Depending on the condition and driving (always fully laden, etc.) some of the suspension components may also need replacement. You could ask him what has been done in terms of components during the time he has haf it. Forgot about timing belt, water pump, etc. That would be a fair bit of money.

Have you tested the Mann Hummel provent 200 against the cheap version? I’m considering to buy the catch can, but I’m curious to know if the original is more efficient than cheap version. Also how much less smoke did you have after putting the cheap version provent versus no catch can at all?

Great content by the way! 👍👍

[@moremolecules]

Hi zengine, I changed the oil catch can to the original one and ran it for say 1,000 miles. I have not yet done proper testing, but the original does not seem more efficient. This is only a short-term observation and not a long-term one. THere was a considerable amount of smoke reduction with the cheap oil catch can. I think I have a few updates on this. Maybe the last one is showing it, I think they go from update #1 to update #4

Thanks for the fast reply 👍 Yes in update 4 you see a smoke reduction with 2 catch cans, but how much has the provent catch can by itself reduced smoke compared to no catch can at all?

No it will be absolutely alright. The total 5w30 is a fuel saving oil and a bit thinner, the 5w40 is a bit thicker. Both are fine, 5w40 might be even better as it will be more difficult to pass seals, for example turbo seals.

Hi Andy, that is a bit of generic error. If you have Diagbox/PP2000/Lexia you can do a quick test on the EGR valve and see if it works. If you have one of these, you can also record EGR % as you drive, say hooked up to a laptop. Plot this vs rpm, MAF, etc. This will fairly quickly tell you what is wrong
