Got a spare working CD player from my 2000 406 HDI Estate, it's in good working order but I'll never use it again since I haven't used a CD in a car since about 2007. It's a Clarion PU-2184 A It was working nicely before I removed it from the car to fit an after market stereo with AUX and bluetooth ...

I can't read the error message in your picture (to blurry) I recently had an issue with mine. Win10, Intel i5 6th gen and running xp sp3 on vm ware. The issue was to do with running 16bit software on a 32bit os being emulated by a 64bit machine. The fix was very simple in the end, download a file a...

Cleared the codes and all seems well, been on a few long drives to liverpool and manchester and no more eml.

Have returned the faulty pp2000 thing for a refund since my old obd2 dongle did everything I need.

now back to investigating clunks and leaks and whatnot.

Still no luck getting pp2000 or diagbox to talk to the car. Nothing wrong with my diagnostic port though, my cheap ebay bluetooth obdII scanner worked fine, read and cleared the codes and even provided me with some live data although I only tried MAF and boost. Pretty surprised that it worked on a 1...

I got pp2000 installed and seemingly working as it should but still no communication with the car. :( had some issues with it using a 16bit application on win xp sp3 in a virtual machine but found a way round that. an incompatibility with modern intel cpu that needs an old file from 1991 to get arou...

Its not gone well so far. :frown: got diagbox installed, interface set up and found by the interface checker app but cant get it to talk to the car, just tries for a bit then asks for a vin. tried both usb cables and every version of diagbox from 7.02 to 7.57 and all the same. have created another v...

I have done a bit of research.

It arrived this morning, I am installing windows xp in a virtual machine on my win 10 tablet, this should be interesting.

I have ordered a cheap chinese PP2000 clone thing, hopefully it will do what it's supposed to.

It cost almost as much as the car but I can always sell it again when I no longer need it.

Well, it's been nearly a week and the engine management light is still on :( Have been on a few longish drives with good gaps between to let the ecu sleep but am driving to bolton on friday and back saturday so if its not cleared then i will have to get the codes read and reset. will at least tell m...

Been out today having a play and have managed to fit a new nipple onto the intercooler and fitted a working MAP sensor, took it for a drive and it's like a new car, it can even manage to accelerate up steep hills. :shock: I'll give it a week and see if the faults clear then it's time to disable the ...

There's a good chance the fault(s) will clear, but not instantly. You will probably need to do 3 'journeys' with no current fault, the the ecu should then change it from a 'permanent' to 'intermittent' fault and cancel the EML. Doesn't always work and you may need PP2000, but it costs nowt to try. ...

Welcome to the forum :) Good luck with the project, that's only done half its expected millage :wink: Post up your location, there could be someone nearby with pp2k 8) Try ebay or on here for a intercooler, you should get one for £20.00. Thanks, :mrgreen: I had a bad experience with a 307 hdi compa...

Thanks Doggy, Just had a trip to a couple of local scrap yards and found nothing with a compatible intercooler, there was one 2.2 hdi but it had no front end to speak of, 3 other diesels but all 90s so no intercooler and a couple that run on that odd petrol stuff. none of the estates were in the sam...

Thanks, I have signed up to service box and now know the correct part number for the crank pulley. It doesn't seem to list the aux belt though so I still have some investigating to do, somebody told me it matters what type of air con compressor is fitted? The problem I have with the MAP sensor is th...

Hi, I bought my X reg 406 HDI 110 estate a few weeks ago for little more than scrap value and have been doing a few jobs to get it back to good health. It's done 249,000 miles but I have an almost complete service history, it's been well taken care of in it's life despite a lot of bumps and scrapes ...
