Petrol or diesel? Why do you want to find it?
|
|
diesel,the one that sends the fuel from the tank to the engine,I have been told that it could be under the back seat and hopefully accessible that way so that I dont need to take the tank off to replace it
|
A fuel sender is the device that tells the fuel gauge how much fuel is in the tank.
A fuel pump is as it's name suggests. There may not be one fitted on your car.
So; can we have the whole story; the three letter engine code starting "RH" from the VIN number and the make of the fuelling system actually fitted - Bosch or Siemens?
|
I am only going off what I have been told.I dont know the make of the fulling system,the engine code is DRHSB92.The actual problem is that the engine sometimes cuts out as if starved of fuel.After a few attempts to start it up it eventually starts with the engine management warning light staying on.I also noticed that there appears to be a slight noise coming from the rear of the car.

If you have a Bosch system [the Siemens has no tank pump] then there should be a slight noise from the tank for about ten seconds at key-on.
Those pumps are around £200 and it's unwise to guess at any fault on a hyper-complex HDi. The only way to proceed is to first get the fault-codes, that are putting the light on, read.
Fusebox failure is far more common than the pump itself - I know; I've got a good used 607 pump sitting on the bench due to exactly that.

I have had this problem for a while and I had the car serviced around 2500 miles ago,at that time the engine warning light was on so I asked the peugeot garage to run an engine diagnostics,they did only to report that they could find no faults.
|
Strange; if the light was on, then there were faults stored.
|
|
so what do you think I should do ?
|
The only way to proceed is to first get the fault-codes, that are putting the light on, read.
|
|
So,that means going back to the peugeot dealer
|
Not necessarily; most garages have access to a good scanner.
