Didnt do so well today, I removed all the bolts that hold the plastic rocker cover on, and that was it !, i couldnt get the rocker cover off, it lifts up about half an inch and gets stuck, there is nothing visibly stopping it lifting off that i can see on the outside, so am thinking that it is somet...

Little bit of a delay in doing any work on my car !!! , but i am going to get the rocker covers off this afternoon and assess the damage, I am planning on replacing any damaged rockers, then doing a compression test on the cylinders to look for posible valve damage as well

this whinging noise, You wouldnt happen to be out with your wife/girlfriend when it happens each time would you ?

well i went for a drive tonight with the laptop plugged in, the power was being like it was, no power then loads, sure enough the laptop is showing no boost when im getting the power loss, but arround 12-15 psi when the power is there, its bizzare, i think i can rule out a boost leak, at the moment...

Its a 2002 model, the last of the 806's that were made, its definitly a 16v engine though, If i put my chassis number into my copy of autodata, it tells me it that it is a DW10ATED4 and its the 4 on the end of the number that denotes 4 valves per cylinder apparently. I've only just got home due to t...

Thanks James, I will whip the cam cover off tomorrow if i get in early enough and snap some pictures, its apparently a twin cam head, but driven by only 1 cam pulley ?, i am guessing that there is a gear or chain drive linking the two at the other end ?, I guess i will know once i have taken it apar...

Found the hole, I should have read your post more carefully, as it was a plate with a gap in it that is just behind the cam pulley just like you said that the 8mm peg goes through. Got it all running, and there is a metallic tinkling noise like one of the valves is hitting the piston when i raise th...

cool, Got the crankshaft pinned with the 8mm pin, but there is definitly no timing hole in the cam pulley at all, just the usual 3 big gaps to see through it, it is marked with a C and a rotation direction arrow. I wonder if i am supposed to remove one of the 3 mounting bolts and use that as the hol...

Thanks DW, thats jus the sort of description i needed. Is the timing hole in the same place as the old TD engines ? (just under the starter motor), I have done quite a few belts on those and can find that hole without even looking now , and have the proper 8mm timing pin with a long handle on it I w...

I know its not strictly a 406, but there seems to be quite a few very knowledgable people on here so though i wold post in the hope that someone might be able to help. I have a peugeot 806 with a 2.0i 16v HDI engine (DW10ATED4) that suffered a siezed alternator which shredded the aux belt, which wen...
