Possible soution to my speedo prob

Post by tomcourtney »

Hi all
Just found this forum
http://www.bba-reman.com/forums/Forum1-1.aspx
I searched for 'Peugeot speedo' and Cyril the 'Master technician' , who is apparently an expert in all things Peugeot, advised replacing a black box 3 -4 inches in size called a Speedometer Interface located behind the glove box (£30 or so) solved the speedo and low throttle 'chugging' problem. I have also noticed this slight chugging' , will be down to garage first thing today. :)
Promising :lol:

I'm not sure if the D9s have a speedo interface, it's a common problem on the D8s though, especially the 2,1 td. D9 speedo problems seem to be bad connections on the dash more. Then it's a V6 so who knows? Best of luck anyway!

Yes I think the black box thing was more on the older D8's :|

I don't know how the speedo works on the D9 in fact I don't want to know because it will just give me something else to worry about :lol:

I've seen two manafacturers of the same cluster - Jaeger and Sagem! Was dependent on what year the D8 was sold :frown:

have consulted haynes (always good for a laugh) the wiring diagrams for a D9
in general show a speed sensor that feeds info to the ecu and also the bsi ,

I found something similar on Service Pox but it was over £200 so I thought maybe that wasn't what I was looking for.

I read on another forum a while back that it's the sagem units that give trouble.

I found .pdf instructions with pics of the Speedo Interface and how to remove it. I def haven't got one on mine. I'm told that a dry joint can be discounted as the odometer and speedo stop and start in sync so It's probably down to the Speedo Sensor on the gearbox now.

Gearbox Speedo Sensor (£31) fitted by Peugeot (£69 - 1 hour) this morning. Asked the peugeot people about fitting a handbrake switch (£3) they said (£69 - 1 hour) :shock: , I will live with the 'Brake fluid low' warning till I do it myself.
Extensive testing today and the speedo problem seems to be cured :D :D :D
Off to the scottish highlands tomorrow in the pug. If it has to be tested do it in the middle of nowhere... :lol:

Sure it wasn't a light bulb? ;)
<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
