You just dont know with a peugoet how often an electrical fault will reoccur.

thanks
i registered a while back when i was looking for the type c displays

i see its one of them easy on the back sort of jobs , it looks a bit difficult in that guide but ill see when i have a go.

Might be easier to remove the steering column. Only held by 2 bolts - no need to remove the steering wheel etc.

Nah it's easy, just need some contorsionistic virtuosisms.

i took the steering wheel surround off today, and removed the two lower stalks the one for the crusie control and the radio one, took them apart and thorougly cleaned them and the contacts inside them (fixed the spongy track down button while at it) then when putting the stalks back in i wedged paper in the rails that they slide in on, so they are in as solid as an old mercedes, no rattling around anymore, so i took the car for a drive and the cruise control worked.

But then i attempted to get to that switch following that guide in the link, i had saved it on my phone and followed it there and then, but its very fiddly to get it out, i got it out and tested it with my multimeter seems ok, so i opened it and cleaned the internal contacts, and put it back together tested it again and it still was going, but then i went to put it back in which is very very tricky and annoying (how do you loosen the steering colum its got 2 torx bolts but my new torx bits wont fit because they have a bit in the middle, is there some other parts that can be undone),
anyhow i followed the guide on putting back the switch but i just dont seem to get the thing to activate now. Ill try the pp2000 when my dad brings my laptop back.

[Captain Jack]

There's nothing else holding the column - just those two torx screws.

[FarmerPug]

how did you remove them i have torx bits but they wont fit in place

[OdinEidolon]

torx with a thing in the middle are anti-tefth (?) torxs. You can find the suitable screwdrivers in any workshop.

[Captain Jack]

Got mine from Halfords as part of a set.

[FarmerPug]

i got a set of teng torx bits

hoping it would have done this job, its done the brakes, and the seats but these ones have the sneaky bit in the middle, i dont want to buy a new set just for these 2 bolts, is it possible to drill out the middle bit?

i plugged in the pp2000

(this is new)

(not sure whats wrong here)

(these 2 ive had all the time)

(and ive had these a long time)

[FarmerPug]

do you think i need the cruise control switch forward or backwards?
and what other bits are there to the d9 crusie control to check, servicebox only shows the stalks.

[OdinEidolon]

I really have no clue... sorry

[FarmerPug]

i pulled out the switch again there but its too dark to put it back in. But ill have a look over on the coupe club again.

[FarmerPug]

after putting the switch back in the cruise control is still not working, would changing the switch help?

I don't see why? PP2000 faults are a bit messy.
