hdi badge colour and car shake

[ridgie74]

hi everybody

great to see this site --- I have just bought a 99 hdi 90, v plate. I was wanting one of these for ages and found what I think is a good one.

The hdi badge has a green coloured "i', is this normal? I am just curious. Also, when driving, if i suddenly, and quickly remove my foot from the accelerator pedal, the car seems to shudder back and forward momentarily. Is this just normal for a diesel, or could there be a problem? I have googled these things and cant find any info.

As with any used car, there is that period of paranoia where you hope everything is ok!!

It is a great car - what a handsome and dignified beast.

Any help greatly appreciated

Hello, ridgie & Welcome

The Hdi badge is normally chrome.

The shudder you describe doesn't sound normal. Could be many things, but I suggest checking for a dodgy engine mount.
Blip the throttle while looking at the engine - if the lower engine mount is shagged, the engine will rock backwards and forwards significantly.

Thanks for the reply! I will have a look at that, see what I can see.

Hi there Rich and welcome, my pug has got a red I on the
hdi badge , i think they just put on whichever comes to hand

As far as I know ALL D9 406's between 1999 and 2003 came out with an all-chrome HDi badge.

Any variation to the badge is definately an add-on by the previous keeper. I think the green i's are off a 307?

Engine mount would be my guess for the pause/shudder when on/off the gas. If the mount is worn I would recommend changing it as soon as you can because it will lead to further problems.....[/T-shirt]

He HEEEE at last its got something different always wondered
about it since Dai pointed it out , and i have the service sheets from
previous owner and its not on there as a replacement . I alwys thought
it was what was left in the bin cos there's been a couple of cars on here
with same trim level but odd little differences

[ridgie74]

will get that checked out. sounds like the engine mount needs doing... cheers for the help. after all the badge chat, i think i will just debadge the car.

"This sounds sad I know"

All peugeot's that have a HDI badge are normally chrome.

Apart from 1.4 HDI'S which has a green I think for economy and green to the environment.

More sportier peugeots 206 Gti 110 1.6 hdi red i and 307 2.0 136 hdi red i.

As Welly said earlier 406's did not have a HDI badge on the rear.

As mine is a little sportier than a standard HDI remapped uprated clutch etc............

I to have purchased one of the HDI badges with the red i

Hello, my name is Rappy, I know lots of things about Peugeots built between Aug 1989 and July 2009. My particular field of interest is the Decals used on various models......

Is that Dave Grohl?

[rapport25]

Welly that is so true .

I must admit I was bit of a pug nerd. Not so up on pugs any more. 205, 405, 206,306,406 I know quite a bit. Anything with 07 at the end forget it.


knowledge is power Welly !!!!!!.

Hi ridgie,

Mine does the leaping about thing if I come off the gas to sharply, more so the lower the gear. It also has shot engine mounts so this seems a likely candidate indeed.

Yep, Mate has a '03 206 van with the green i
