#1: Have No Idea If Its The Comms Unit Or Something Else ? :/ Author: Pugsy, Location: Stoke On Trent, StaffordshirePosted: Wed Sep 14, 2011 10:36 am ---- Hey Guys
i've had a browse through some other threads about the comms 2000 unit.
as you've probobly guessed i'm having problems with the pug. E.G.
-Headlights turning themselves on and flashing randomly
-Windscreen Wipers, Wiping Randomly
-Airbag Warning Light
-Indicators Don't Always Work (have To hold them on)
-And Now The Oil Warning Light Keeps Coming On
(When All This Happens I Can't Do Anything with the indicator or wiper stalks )
when i searched for comms unit on here the threads i read only had 1 of the problems i've listed. i've got all these problems at once so have no idea if its the comms unit or not.
my dads sprayed WD40 into it to see if its iron filings that are causing the problem to see if that fixes it.
any info,ideas or fixes on why its doing this would be greatly appreciated & sorry for the essay/if someones posted these problems before

#7: Re: Have No Idea If Its The Comms Unit Or Something Else ? :/ Author: Pugsy, Location: Stoke On Trent, StaffordshirePosted: Wed Sep 14, 2011 10:56 am ---- fun times i'll see if the WD40 works if not then i'll have spend more money i havent got aha ahhh well if it needs fixing so be it can't have a car that flashes at everything cheers for your help.
#8: Re: Have No Idea If Its The Comms Unit Or Something Else ? :/ Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Wed Sep 14, 2011 10:56 am ---- Didnt some of the last 51 plates have them as well?
And as Mrs Howey says it could be a new com unit.
#9: Re: Have No Idea If Its The Comms Unit Or Something Else ? :/ Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Wed Sep 14, 2011 10:58 am ---- WD40?
#10: Re: Have No Idea If Its The Comms Unit Or Something Else ? :/ Author: PugJH, Location: NorthantsPosted: Wed Sep 14, 2011 11:29 am ---- lol maybe he is guna split the unit to wd40 some old parts, not likely to work tbh.
I have just got a comm unit for mine which im yet to fix, i also have my old one from previous car for sale, which i only swapped so i could get trip computer etc.
If yours is a povety spec, ie no auto lights or wipers and no trip computer then i have the comm unit for you
Save you loads fitting it yourself, peugeot charge couple hundred last time i checked to supply and fit, but then thats a brand new one.

£50 delivered btw Last edited by PugJH on Wed Sep 14, 2011 11:31 am; edited 1 time in total

Oh and yes they did, plexing changed late 2001, so some 51's have pre and some plexed, i'd say all if not nearly all 02 plates have plexed units

WD40?
apparently it works wonders, got my dad read up on a forum yesterday while i was at work and someone had the same problems, used WD40 and it sorted it out. But they did say you have to do it every 12 months. the airbag warning lights gone off now we've sprayed so who knows
#13: Re: Have No Idea If Its The Comms Unit Or Something Else ? :/ Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Sep 14, 2011 11:34 am ---- Should never use WD40 on electrical parts!
Contact cleaner only
COM is f****d. Needs a new one

Rust?
Remember that when the airbag light is on, none of your airbags work.
*pretty sure thats right*
WD40 works wonders but it sounds like the plugs not making great contact.
Take the bag off and see if the plugs are clipped in fully.

#28: Re: Have No Idea If Its The Comms Unit Or Something Else ? :/ Author: SciFi25, Location: SurreyPosted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 6:50 am ---- I know your pain, I have a dodgy Comm 2000 unit as well! Though its not as bad as yours, I only get overcorrection on the indicators and the odd random windscreen wipe or two!
I found a site which sells them for £90px when you send your broken one back to them, is that a good price???

Is that peugeotpartsforsale.com you're talking about? I got a refurbed Com2000 unit of them around this time last year having been to every scrappy for miles and trawling the internet. That was the best deal I could find and I'd recommend them
#30: Re: Have No Idea If Its The Comms Unit Or Something Else ? :/ Author: SciFi25, Location: SurreyPosted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 9:07 am ----
Well I bought off them last year and everything went well, I had reservations about using them as I didn't know anyone that had used them before and wasn't sure about getting a refurbished item. Sale went perfect, fast delivery and the deposit came through fairly sharp after I sent my busted unit back! Don't want to jinx it but the units still working perfect.
