The Bosch diesel pump is said to be better to handle bio fuel than the Lucus pump which is a rotary type. Which type is yours? I read that most bio diesel users switch to Bosch pumps in order to use bio....

175bar :) Some folk put a bit of automatic transmission fluid in their fuel to give the fuel system a bit of a clean out (only maybe 100ml though). It's loaded with detergents and give the pump and injectors and bit of a birthday :) Thats new..wont it damage the piping and plastics? and whats the r...

Have any of you guys come across the recommended fuel pressure for the Injectors of the 1998 406 1.9td? My car is a little down on power and has a lot of smoke at the top end and thought of re pressurizing the injectors which is the easiest thing to do.

hey guys...had some time with the car....it was indeed the immobilizer problem :) took me about 1/2 hour to remove the plates...no hacksawing or grinding 3 allen blots and 2 torx thats it..don't know if some body previously removed the thing....I ran a line from the immobilizer power feed to the sto...

didn't have time to look at the car today...just curious to know how to get the car running if you accidentally lost the codes for the immobilizer...or some thing wrong with the key perhaps... can the dealers reset the codes..maybe reprogramme the ecu...and the other thing is can a dead battery or c...

Opps...ok so out comes the pump

Removed the back of the pump? Was the cover on the stop solenoid? Or the unit where the injector lines connect? Don't go throwing money at a pump technician yet, give us a few pointers to what you've done so far. http://www.eastment.net/Boschpump2.htm <- might help you visualise things. :) Thanks S...

can't imagine which is worse...a car that wont start..or a one that doesn't stop.... :) got some time to fiddle with the car. I managed to remove the back of the pump while still on the car. There are some non return valves that the fuel pressure must overcome to let fuel to the injectors....the fue...

thanks for the help guys... It doesn't have a immobilizer key pad....so i assumed there is none....so as swiss is saying it must be in the key...since i've removed the battery have i accidentally reset it or something. Is there a way to undo what i have done? Steve what are the cut out switches on t...

Hi guys... I'm having major probs...my 406 (xud9te) was stilling for a few weeks and i found the battery dead....had to replace the battery and now it's refusing to start at all :cry: .... After fiddling around (removing one injector pipes and cranking) found that fuel is coming only as far as the p...

Hi,

what do you mean by

Do you mean you have to follow a sequence to lock the pulleys one by one...cam => IP => Crank => Tensioner etc.....

Thanks guys will try that and see
