Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / March 2005406 Hdi died
Hi, coming back from Heathrow on the M3, The engine managment light came on lost all power just made it onto the hard shoulder. Rac came out no fault codes on the engine. Got recovered to my local mechanic, he found filings in the fuel filter any ideas Thanx in advance Seadart > Hi, coming back from Heathrow on the M3, The engine managment light > came on lost all power just made it onto the hard shoulder.

There have been many postings on this in this group which a search in Google Groups will no doubt find. If Peugeot do the job (assuming your no longer covered by warranty) they will want to replace the entire system from (and including) tank to injectors for an obscene amount of money. If you can find a good local mechanic, provided the filter hasn't ruptured, he can probably flush the system through and replace the pump and filters. Be warned though that I was quoted ?500 just to buy a pump. Keith > You have the common HDI problem of the fuel lift pump in the tank breaking > up.

Be > warned though that I was quoted ?500 just to buy a pump. Which pump was that? GSF list the HDI lift pumps from ?64.00 (306) to ?135 (Xantia). Both also contain the fuel level sender. The ?500 version sounds more like the high pressure pump, though it could also be a grease monkey mixing up the two parts. >> You have the common HDI problem of the fuel lift pump in the tank >> breaking [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > The ?500 version sounds more like the high pressure pump, though it could > also be a grease monkey mixing up the two parts. That was the price quoted, on the 'phone, by a Pug agent so they could well have got the wrong end of the stick. Either way the whole job came out around ?800 by a good mechanic as against Pug agent's ?3,500. I found several other people on the net who had the same problem and ?800ish seemed to be the rate for all who took that route. There have also been several who had it done under warranty because it can go at quite low mileages (at least one at sub 30,000). Searching on Google groups should bring some up. At the time (two years ago) there was also a website with a forum where it was a hot topic but I can't find the site now.

Thanks for all the replies! I got it to a Pug dealer and all the fuel system has to be replaced! It?s still under warrenty so that?s thier problem When the stores guys searched the data base for my car it came up as not having a lift pump (sender only) It?s an estate. any comments on this one? Thanks again > > Keith Willcocks > > (If you can't laugh at life, it ain't worth living!) [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >Thanks again You probably have the Siemens system, which has a bladder in the fuel feed line on the engine to manually suck the fuel up from the tank, as opposed to the Bosch system which uses a lift pump incorporated in the tank sender unit. Otherwise basically the same. Just makes it a lot more difficult to start after they have changed the entire fuel system!! >Hi, coming back from Heathrow on the M3, The engine managment light >came on lost all power just made it onto the hard shoulder.

That way if it fails Peugeot may pay up for the whole repair if it fails within 12 months. What would it cost to get this done at a main dealer ? Frank B |
