That’s a big jump, did it fail compression test?

Is there not a lead in the box? With Febi there is. Pic below is just a quick take from the internet. Make you life a little easier and take the air box out completel, you’ll need to take the top of first to allow enough room to get the bottom out twisting and wiggling as you go. The air box...

I was just watching something a mo ago and they where checking a car on carvertical.com and it showed D.O.M. As well as first reg date.

I am nearly scared to say this, but to date I have no electrical issues other than the driver side mirror took a notion to stutter when folding then couple of days later it stopped. On taking the door card off I found that the cable was unplugged from the door control and the clip that should...

Ooh ouch, not nice. There are arguments for and against repairs, just be sure to use a good repairer. Hope you get sorted quickly. ps is that a spec of dust on the back of that spoke?? 😜

That kit looks same as the on I got, did my job diagnosing thermostat pipe…if only my kid bro would remember to bring it back. If your white smoke goes away after the car is up to temp it could just be warmup condensation, both my prince engines do it, and they can look a little plumey these...

i have a historic VW, yeah off subject, but I am able to get a ‘birth certificate‘ for it which includes date of manufacture, build spec, options etc etc which got me thinking if Pug do something similar and came across this, might help. There is a section re import/export...

Bet you are slightly relieved. Just to chase down the leak. Torch and mirror time, think everyone has listed the areas that are known to give leaks. Just be methodical, and if you have or can get access to a pressure system it could save you a bit of time.

Can the seller, assuming they are in a dealer supported country, not get something to help you from a dealer their end. Poor Canada, decades of no pugs……….

Yeah main dealers have got wise to giving part numbers out on quotes as they don’t get the sell as people cross ref eBay. There is a seller on eBay that are decent with pugs, and as well as after market they also carry OE parts such as Dayco and pierberg etc, Neo Brothers if you follow the link...

You can get a head gasket leak tester, coloured fluid put into a wee S shaped vial thing that plugs into the expansion bottle that will analyse the gases in the bottle and give you a good indication If the head gasket is letting by. With a bit of luck this is not your problem. There are a few...

Both mine have red in colour, but it’s the spec You need to be sure of. I flushed and refilled with this, but a decent autofactors will cross check for you. There is something about mixing two types and it turning to sludge, not wanting to chance it is why I fully flushed first.

If of use, and i am not advertising for them but I have a Launch reader and with an annual subscription for full Peugeot I can see and read everything I have tried to so far including all wheel speed sensor. It allows bi directional with a lot of stuff too, again everything I have tried to so...

Enjoy your new car, they certainly are a looker, I still keep looking over my shoulder as I walk away in a car park. As for reliability, well maintained they are spot on and just like any other car, neglected they bring out the red mist In you. Just one suggestion to keep it healthy, ignore the...

Either unplug the injectors (below the inlet manifold) there is a plug on each one, feel your way in from either side to get at two from one side and two from the other. Feel the tab on each and gently lift up whilst withdrawing the plug. Be gentle getting your hand/arm in not to dislodge...

Okay another few minutes to myself so here’s another bit of info. The vanos system in the prince engines works by altering the timing of the valves under different loads or rpm. It can also be referred to as VVT or variable valve timing. The engine ecu monitors various conditions within the...

Nadzi, I am going to step back a few paces and go over a few things from your initial list just to guide you as you have 211k on your engine. Your engine is running rough and has failed emissions tests. There are quite a few things that can cause this, some are: Damaged valve or valve seat, hpfp...

Well as the both sensors were the same age they will have the same wear on them so if one has failed the probability is the other one is nearing the end of its functional lifespan. As your replacing with a good quality (Bosch) you should be doing no harm. When reading the lambda sensor, when...

Thank you very much for the quick replies. I have a slightly different OBD diagnosis, I can't find any other values than the ones I managed to take a picture of. I replaced all the spark plugs, coils, a new battery and the upper lambda sensor. When I removed the old lambda sensor, its tip was...
