Update.

Got the car back late yesterday afternoon and its great.

It was the pump, completley shot.

Funny thing is it does seem to drive better but that may just be Psychological!!

Thanks to everyone who gave me advice it was much appreciated.

Mine has the Bosch system installed. Its in the Garage now after being collected late yesterday afternoon. I phoned them this morning and no one had looked at it but they were going to start on it this afternoon. Interesting conversation with the mechanic who advised me that Peugeot advise that when...

I have been getting conflicting opinions on this one as i have phoned around. Some say no relay others split relay, fuel pump and others sensors.... The long and the short of it is that the most common fault is the pump, i read another thread that made me think "mine was doing that" when the writer ...

Thanks djp30djp, that will probrobally explain why i couldnt find one!! Does that therefore mean that the only thing that can be wrong with it is that the pump has died? This based on the fact that the car will turn over but not start and that i can not hear the pump running at all when i switch on ...

thanks for the reply, its the low preasure fuel pump relay i need to locate.

i need to get one tomorrow and want to take the old one with me to make sure i get the right one.

Can anybody elt me know where i will find the fuel pump relay on a 2000 (V reg) 406 Hdi 90.

i might need to change it as i'm having a few problems and dispite reading the haynes manual and the owners manual i'm still unsure of where it is.

thanks

Having read many of the posts on here about the fuel pump and relays i decided to have a look at mine today after it failed to start on Friday. when i switch on the ignition i get a click but no noise from the pump as i usually do. checked the fuse and its good put the meter across the fuse seats an...

Hi All, has anyone used an oil additive in there 406 TD? i have a bit of a noise when i get over 3000 revs which i can only describe as a pinking sound (if it was petrol). not sure if its just wear on the engine of something else but in the past i have put an additive in the oil which has tightened ...

From my experience it was caused by th ere-circulation being on in the demist cycle.

I was told that it has a higher humidity level when in re-circulation mode hence the nisting up.

Once i had turned it off the problem was solved.

Thanks for the replies.

great idea to sit in and see which one it is. i will try that tonight.

are the actuators easy to get to should that be the problem?

cheers

Booked it in to have the mount replaced at a local garage which is part of a company that the company i work for own. There going to do it Tuesday of next week seems a bit cheap mind but he did know which engine mount it was. I did hear that they were short of work so it was ideal timing for a chang...

Well this one has flumoxed me.... The central locking works great when you lock the car via the key and lock but when you use the remote it locks then re-opens immediatly. I have tried the reprogramme sequence as described in earlier threads but it dosen't work. On the key fob there are two buttons ...

Thanks for the replies chaps very useful. It defenatly lurches forwards when you blip the gas...... i did haggle and get the cost down but not to that extent!! Still very happy with the car even if it costs me an extra £120 or so its going to save me a fortune after a 2.0 auto Vectra which in my fav...
