Hi
I have recently bought Citroen Dispatch 2.0HDI 8v on a Y reg with a cutting out problem. It has done 180k on the clock.
It only cuts out on full trottle but if you drive it slowly it is ok.
Firstly i had diagnostics done, it showed common rail problem P1112. I then changed the fuel pressure sensor. Still cutting out on full trottle.
Then as follows changed and still the same problem :
a - pump in the tank
b - hp pump changed
c - injectors reconditioned
d- wiring loom changed
e - alternator reconditioned
f - trottle sensor changed
g - fuel filter housing changed
h - ECU checked, was ok
i - Cam sensor and crank sensor changed
j - Cam pulley replaced
k - emissions checked and ok
l - used injector cleaners, made no difference
m - air flow meter changed
Can anyone shed some light on this, after changing all these the van is still cutting out.
You can either email me on b1209h@yahoo.co.uk or on this post.
Thanks

sounds like a weird one cant belive its had so many parts, sounds like a deffinate fuel problem engine will cut out with either too low fuel preassure or too high fuel preassure ,is your scanner capable of reading fuel preasure, like some one has said the 3rd piston actually comes in at high revs boosting fuel presure for demand so at idle u would exspect 300 bar and as u rev engine it should increase too 700bar if u could read this then we could see what was going on, and i could advise futher !
Hi
My previous message did not post properly it seems. My wife reports her car (HT51 Plate 206 2 Lt HDI GLX) has lost power and engine sounds strange . Also there is a Diagnostics warning light illuminated on the dash. Car still drives but slowly. I researched this on the net and Im aware it could be any number of things but is there any tools I can by to get the fault codes myself without taking it to a pegueot garage or is that my only option? Im serving in Iraq so cannot do anything from here. Any help is appreciated
Kind Regards

Thanks Waterville
Checked out the site you mentioned but found that the 40 quid device is only for diesel's after 2004. I'll try this other garage as it will be cheaper hopefully. Probably pay big to get it sorted then i'll get rid me thinks.
Cheers

Hi All;
My friend is looking to buy a 2006/2007 Fiesta. She is trying to find out some firm facts about the specs of the various models available to her.
From my internet searches I have not found any indication that there is a difference in the engines of the Style, Zetec and Ghia models, however she has been told otherwise; i.e. "You must get the Zetec as it has a better engine!" etc..
i. Can you tell me if the engines in each model are different?
ii. Can anyone point me to an internet site that will tell us what is standard and optional on each model?
Many thanks.

I think scouseford is right, at one time Ford had a petrol engine called a Zetec.
However, Zetec has been a trim level for some years now.
Hence my Focus is a Zetec, even though it's a 1.8 diesel.
Zetec normally means sports suspension, so a Fiesta Style, LX or Ghia should have a more compliant ride.
my heater blower stop working check the fan, it is fine but there is no supply on the plug. the fuse is also fine but no supply to hearing board but it does eluminate and dihumaniter does work which on the sane panel.
Any idea what it could be..... or any one know wherei s the relay located
Thanks Read more
There is a connection for the heater blower under the passenger side dashboard. Look under there for a plug, it has 2 wires going to it. In my experience i have seen these connections burn out after arking for a while. if it is at fault get someone with some electrical knowledge to replace the connection for you.
Quick question for any Honda Accord owners out there or locksmith types.
I have a 54 model executive which only came with one electronic key and no manual.
I had a new non electronic key cut today as a safeguard by a local autolocksmith who visited my local garage . The new key is just to open the car and start the engine in case the other one is lost
The new key works fine but when I went to unlock the car with the new key having locked it with the electronic key it set the alarm off.
The solution according to the garage appears to be to lock the car manually with the central locking key. Can I also set the alarm manually with the electronic key and be able to open the car with the second key without setting alarm off?

You might need to programm the fob. This particular website here was quite useful to me concerning that: http://autokeysquad.co.uk/honda-fob-programming

"415 three phase"
I have simply had to plug in some of those big "kettle leads". Knowing what is going through them I was hesitant when it was under floor and out of sight! The thickness of wire gives you a clue.
... and none in my job description but trying to move a project on.
Came home tonight to a letter from the VW franchise who service my Golf asking me to call them...
"Volkswagen UK have asked us to contact you with some good news in relation to your vehicle, Registration Number xxxxxxx.
"Could you please telephone me on xxxxxx, quoting your personal reference number which is at the top of this letter, for more information.
"This is not a circular, you are a nominated customer identified by Volkswagen UK from our existing customer base."
It's signed by the Sales Manager and I'm fully expecting it to be some marketing hype or special offer that I can't take advantage of because it's a lease car... but on the off chance that it's a brand new GTi for me to keep (I can dream!) I shall give them a bell in the morning.
Anyone else get one of these letters from VW? Read more
Now in the current climate you can forgive salespeople for being a little over-zealous or
even needy which can grate. But the display of total non-interest from this guy was
astonishing.
I had a similar experience a few weeks back when I went on boxing day to a white goods retail shed, and found a raft of completely uninterested sales people ... and concluded that they had given up trying, which must be why they weren't interested. And from that I concluded that trying to purchase from them was an unwise use of my money.
The shop was Empire Direct, which went into administration on monday, and shut it doors promptly, having no stock left. It appears likely to be wound up.
