#1: Daughter's HDi problems Author: mikrt, Location: South walesPosted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:13 am ---- Hi Forum.
In need of some advice please.
My daughter’s month old 2003 206 2.0 HDi is worrying me (And her).
A second or two after starting, the “Antilpollution fault” warning comes on for about a second and then goes out. Along with this, the engine light is showing continuously. Also noticed that the glow-plug illumination doesn’t show (maybe only comes on below certain temp??)
Even with these faults, it starts and drives faultlessly, never hesitates, runs smooth and at the correct temperature.
Anything to worry about do you think?
Thanks in anticipation,
Mike.

maybe someone else can comment on the anti pollution message, touch wood, i havent encountered this....yet.

True, but if it is just sooted up you'll be wasting money.

#7: Re: Daughter's HDi problems Author: Antknee, Location: ManchesterPosted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:59 am ---- Could be anything or nothing came on when my iair intake pipe unclipped itself at the back of the engine lol just check all the pipes etc and the glowplug light rarely comes on, usually only if its really really cold
#8: Re: Daughter's HDi problems Author: Antknee, Location: ManchesterPosted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 10:01 am ---- Also keep an eye on the temperature gauge as they are all going at the minute, if this happens then you need to change the temp sensor (green one)
#9: Re: Daughter's HDi problems Author: kencogurl, Location: Carmarthen - WALESPosted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 11:35 am ---- my 207 is doing exactly the same as that right now its in peugeot as under warranty, ive reserched alot on it and ushaly comes down to lamba sensors and a new fuel pump, just do as cd-vrs said, run it at 50-60mph in 3rd gear for atleast 15minutes. if it cuts the engine out then leave it off for 5 minutes and start it up but set off slowly and build upto 60mph, if its wont go over 40mph shes gone into limp mode and might need the ECU to be read to pinpoint the fault
#10: Re: Daughter's HDi problems Author: mikrt, Location: South walesPosted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 11:52 am ---- Thanks for all the replies.
I'll have chance to give it a good burn off over the weekend when she's home with the car, and hopefully be lucky. I'll report back on how it went.
Don't want to rush to Peugeot stealer to have code read except as last option ,as I've heard of them getting it wrong and customer buying new bits which still didn't cure it.
At least I'm assured about not seeing the Glow-plug light,javascript:emoticon('post',%20'message',%20':P')

#11: Re: Daughter's HDi problems Author: Harty, Location: West LothianPosted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 11:58 am ---- mine just got fixed, anti pollution fault was up and kept getting cleared but everytime it came back it was like the car tried to limp(no power) then ran normal new EGR valve today and problem solved.... i hope

Not always recommended I know. But speaking in my local (pub) on Thursday evening about the 206's issues, and the very friendly mechanic said to bring it over early this morning and he'd hook it up FOC to read faults.
Apparently there was a code 221 ?? throttle positioner ??. He cleared that, and no "Antipollution Fault" or engine light anymore.
He did say that it maybe a good idea to put a full Redex diesel additive in with the diesel next time she fills up to help stop it coming back.
Guess that's a few pints I owe him.
Thanks, and hope this may help if others have similar problems,
