Re: HDI turbo not kicking in
when i used to do fuel drain outs, i would remove both fuel lines from the tank, then make a tool to attach to the return line, so i could pressurize the fuel tank and it would expel into the supply line, it would take a few hours and i would get coverd in a nasty petrol/diesel mix
then i would clean the fuel lines with diesel, refit, fill the tank with diesel, remove the filter housing, with a hand primer pump, flush the HP pump, replace the filter housing, the prime the fuel system for 60 seconds then it should start on the button, it would rattle for a few seconds the settle down

Re: HDI turbo not kicking in
a mate of mine done it for her today when i was in work , he drained the tank with a hand pump and run 2 gallons of diesel thro using the lp pump in the tank and then changed the filter and it started first time and touch wood its running fine
i aint seen the paperwork for what the garage done to the car but what my mother said over the phone was that they charged her £140 or £150 to clean the intercooler out as they said it was " blocked " . ill read it myself tomoro and let u all know what tit says but she went to trading standards and they said she got a real good case against the garage

Hi Darren
I'm new to pug forum, just bought my 2nd had it cheap so obvo there are a few minor probs concerning me so was trying to sus out what they were on here, mentioning in my post that would take my pug to pug/citroen specialist in cardiff, Dai Rees said you had a problem with a specialist garage so thought I'd better check with you which one it was! The one I spotted was off Newport Rd, Roath/town end. Cheers Saffy

Scary. I used to live round there! Glenroy Street in fact. The kebab house just at the City Rd end of there was the first kebab house (of several *cough*) to give me a tab because I was such a good customer...saffylady wrote:The one I spotted was off Newport Rd, Roath/town end. Cheers Saffy

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

I took mine to the european car services (or something similar) and they seemed allright with me. I may well be going back there soon for a cambelt change.

Re: HDI turbo not kicking in
European Car services in Cardiff and also There's one in Bridgend that well recommended. I've been there for an Mot, but can't remember the name of the place. It's something straight forward like Peugeot & Citroen Specialist I think.
