Nope, have more or less given up with this. The only way I can see doing it with the current cluster/bsi is to replace the memory chips on both the cluster and in the BSI. Not worth the effort as my propellerhead skills are somewhat lacking when it comes to all things binary... I will try to find a ...

I have done this brush/commutator replacement on a couple, also found a utube video somewhere but no sign of it right now. Tricky bit is removing the top cover from the regulator assembly to replace the brushes, video helped guide me to eventually get this right... needed a lot of patience on my par...

That method does not work if you have a clutch pulley. The outer will rotate when you try to undo the centre bolt.

Sounds good! (pun intended..)

Not ever had a belt jump off with the clutch pulley seized though, just had to tolerate the insane clattering when idling and putting up with looks from motorists alongside..

Replacing the pulley is a mongrel job... getting the retaining bolt out requires a lot of heat to soften the oodles of locktite holding it in, and a special tool to secure it while trying too undo it. I have more recently gone down the replace pulley route as have had a few secondhand alternators fa...

Fan needs to be 2 speed, ones with only 2 contacts are single speed. Fitting one with only single speed will likely affect proper operation of cooling/aircon so more investigation required. I did fit a 2 speed fan from a BMW into one of my early hdi's and it seemed to work (original was accident dam...

Nope, alternator clutch pulley, only my very early hdi didnt have one, all the rest have been fitted with them. look like this... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alternator-Freewheel-Clutch-Pulley-588003-VALEO/183561441402?fits=Car+Make%3APeugeot%7CModel%3A406&epid=249336717&hash=item2abd1d507a:g:IXEAAOS...

Had this belt flapping on several of my hdi's, always been the clutch pulley on the alternator has siezed solid. Replaced it and flappy belt problem solved.

Lift the pedal up by hand, this will sometimes restore its biting point. I have one that does this occasionally, pedal goes low to the floor, I just hook my foot under the pedal and lift it, brings it back to normal and lasts for weeks before it gets iffy and does it again. If that does not work, bl...

My 2.2 had similar problems, turned out to be a combination of faults. Main ones were the variable vanes on the turbo were gummed up in the mostly "off boost" position and the MAF was faulty. Also, the vacuum system was leaking a bit and the actuator arm (item 71 in the schematic by frog above) for ...

If the compressor is latching and spinning up then it will not be too short of gas. As you say you cant feel any difference in temp across the high/low pressure lines at the compressor, this suggests there is a blockage somewhere. Get someone knowledgeable to couple it up to a set of gauges, this wi...

Wag, does your HDi have a DPF? If it does, it is critical that you use the correct spec oil or you will block the DPF. I have used full synthetic in all my HDi's since 2001, either 5w30 or 5w40, but none of my 2.0 ones have had a DPF, only the 2.2's. A couple of my HDi's have more than 650000 on the...

Found these on my computer, they are currently in word format after copying them off the web, I can convert them to .pdf if you cant open them...

Older ones have white and pink tops in 'boxes I have opened. Access is good to open the case to get to the valve block but you must remove the block from the box IIRC. I am still trying to find the manual, did make a paper copy but that is also in a "safe" place somewhere.... :oops: Maybe there is s...

2002 possibly has the later solenoids, I did a 2002 AL4 box a while ago which was doing much like you describe. It had the later solenoids (black tops). Replaced them and it was all good. No need for an ecu upgrade. I suspect the solenoids were just leaking pressure when cold as it also only did it ...
