BTW: I think you will find an '03 1,4 HDi IS multiplex. Unless it's an early one that sat in Pug's storage or a dealers for a while before being registered. If the airbag is clipped on (square holes in back of steering wheel) and the radio stalk is thick and short and not a long thin one, it's mutilplexed. |
I have crystal headlights but also all other signs are of preplex, so a while back I came on here to ask and posted my VIN. I was told it is definitely pre plex based on VIN. Not sure about steering wheel, it's the bigger chunkier one than i've seen in other 206's, and I can see the H4 to H7 converters for the headlights when i've had the lamps out too. I think it looks like it did in fact sit in storage for a while. Shame.
Thanks for the heads up on the potential diagnostic code problems, i'll try and find a local pug specialist.
I have a fuel filter here anyway from a while back I bought for the next service, so that's no cost, but I guess it's still a waste of time if it's not the problem.

A boost gauge
Drive the vehicle until a normal water temperature reading is attained.
Choose a long straight empty road (preferably with a gentle incline). Steady the engine speed to around 3000 rev/min and select either third or fourth gear, depending on road speed.
Using your left foot on the brake pedal, gently increase throttle whilst applying the brakes to maintain 3000 revs/min.
When full throttle is reached at 3000 rev/min check the boost reading on the gauge.
If the boost pressure requires adjustment, consult the manufacture's recommendations.
