Looks like something i would cobble together!
Maybe it should be on previous thread i posted Worst bodge ups!

Hi

Thats the outside air flap servo motor.

They are £85 new from Peugeot!

This is a scrapyard job, Search out the 405s, 406s, Citroen Xantias & even Range Rovers.

There are a lot of different motors all using the same housing but the insides are different.

You need brown plug with 3 wires.

Hi

That's the outside air flap servo motor.

They are £85 new from Peugeot!

This is a scrapyard job, Search out the 405s, 406s, Citroen Xantias, Basically anything in the PSA family with aircon & even check out the Range Rovers.

There are a lot of different motors all using the same housing but the insides are different.

You need brown plug with 3 wires.

To replace the motor.

Empty the glovebox, Then shut it, At the bottom of the glovebox door you will see 2 x black plastic dowles, Slide these out using a screwdriver & remove the whole glovebox door.

Now unclip the 2 metal spring clips that hold the carpet trim under the glovebox area, Don't ruin the clips because Peugeot no longer supply them!

Now you need to carefully drill out the rivets holding the glovebox surround to the dash, 3 along the top, 1 down each side & 2 at the bottom. These are called PEEL rivets, The backs peel over & break in to 4 little legs that grip the 2 parts of the dash together.

When the dash surround is free, unclip the wiring loom from the white plastic rivet & then you can get at the flap motor.

2 x cross head screws need to be undone that hold the motor & then it just comes free.

Make sure you have a good look at the linkage before removing the motor so you can get it correct when you put it back together.

Get a helper to hold the air intake flap in position to aid reassembly, Just remove the black plastic ECU / pollen filter cover & then remove the pollen filter too, Make sure the ignition key is turned OFF when you are fiddling with the heater, It RUNS whenever the ignition is ON even if the heater is set to OFF! Don't wont no damaged fingers.

You should use some of those spring clips, Like speaker spring clips but bigger & some countersunk screws to fix the dash back together.

A 406 is far easier to do, Peugeot learned from the mistakes of using rivets on the dash & went to screws & clips.

I was wrongly under the impression it was a safety feature,ie

if engine died power steering worked on battery power.

Not much point to it otherwise IMO

Power steering doesn't work on my Vectra-C until the engine is running. I've also turned off the engine whilst still moving to elliminate a noise I once had. Once the engine was off, no P/S. It might be a different kettle of fish if the engine died while the ignition was still turned on, but the P/S on these cars draws one heck of a lot of power out of the battery. Enough to make the headlights and dash display momentarily dim down when the wheel is turned when the car is ticking over, so I imagine the cars electrics detects the alternator isn't working and shuts it down.

That aside, once the vehicle is moving, you need very little power assistance anyway. Remember, P/S is only a parking aid. At speed you don't need it as the wheels are turning which makes the steering lighter anyway.

if you back of the adjusters and rebuild the drums up then the adjusters should reajust up again if everything is tickaty boo.
