Major service - what parts to replace?

[Welly]

I think that chap with the blown V6 might have something to add...

By the way... did anyone with an HDi change any injectors yet? WOnder if this only applies to the 16 valve 2.0 (or am I selling the wrong car?)

And they wonder why I went back to petrol.......

Interesting this, I was wondering why the trade mags were plugging injector removal tools just recently.

I've had lots of junk mail regarding these removal tools, I guess it must be a problem that has recently surfaced, I and a lot of others hadn't heard of these problems. Frightening really

406 HDIs are 8 valve, aren't they? Only the 2.2 HDI is 16 valve.

[jasper5]

Mine is definitely 8 valve (DW10), I think the 2.2 is 16 valve, not seen one yet.

You are indeed correct.

Have you checked your nearside mount?

I did hear that early 16v HDi's had occasional issues with loose injectors & Pug were increasing the recommended torque setting.

Looks like they Fixed it

As I see it there's 3 possibilities:

It affects all 16v HDis - in which case I should be worried
It affects post 2003 HDis - in which case Steve should be worried
It affects post 2003 16v HDis / 16v 2.0 HDis - in which case we can all pat ourselves on the back

I really am selling the wrong car

I got offered to trade on this earlier.

Crikey, that's bad! Nearside one looks fine, I think...

What's stopping you? Trade it in, then sell it at a cheaper price - $/£/HR money sign

[steve_earwig]

Got 4k€ you could lend me for an unspecified period?

[Captain Jack]

Oh, you mean trade + cash? F that... Thought you meant a direct swap...

[steve_earwig]

I'd jump at that (key for key they call it here) but he wants 8k from me, that's 4 plus my heap I guess.

Hmm, 4x4, tiptronic auto, leather, cruise etc. etc. Shame about the 34mpg. Ooh looky - "prepared for mobile phone", i.e. holes all over the dash for something 10 years out of date, there's no mention of the mileage either. Nah, stuff your over-priced panzer.

Must have a squint at mine, things are getting decidedly wobbly Nice to hear your HDi sounds like a bag of spanners too.

yeah, it never sounds that great when its cold, its a lot quieter once its warmed up, dont know why its like that, just hope whatevers causing it isnt really expensive to fix when it finally breaks.

[Captain Jack]

All diesels clatter, more so when cold. This is normal.
