#1: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Nov 01, 2011 7:29 pm ---- i have still to get the car, but i thought as i know what car im getting i would be abit different, and start a thread before buying the car, i have seen one im interested in and all being well i will have it by monday (7th Nov) at the very latest.
so with that in mind and the fact im getting a 206 HDi GTi even if this one is sold in the mean time i have started collecting a few parts:
A brand new unused ashtray, that i was going to modify into an ipod dock, with a carbon lid, as it came with an unused lighter plug as well i might keep these incase i ever get rid of the car i can replace the older ones.
complete kit
when illuminated
as i loved the push button start in my old 206 i thought it do the same to this one, only this time i will actually disconnect the wires (last time i just tapped into them, allowing it to still start on the key), but with a bullet or spade connecter so if the button ever fails i can re-enable the key start
short stubby aerial, a factory peugeot one.
a lion keyring (this is a 2 fold part, one its a peugeot lion and im a leo so it works on both levels)
flip key mod, becasue i like the idea, no other reason
from the look of the rear pic, it has the silver i so this is to make it look nicer.

#3: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: jimjam19927, Location: PortsmouthPosted: Tue Nov 01, 2011 7:50 pm ---- Make sure the key is flip key suitable. You need the car to some with the certain key type. Not the round chubby one
#4: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Wed Nov 02, 2011 3:09 am ---- 3k is a lot to spend on a 206 with 107k miles on it....

Key will be fine no need to worry about that one.
Looks like a nice car just look after it and it should look after you
Wouldnt go for the stubby aerial if you like listerning to the radio, they give rubbish reception as its a GSM aerial.

I was thinking of buying the same start button off ebay but in red led, i was put off by the negative feedback doh and the fact it was from hong kong could take up to 20 days to arrive he said. be interested to hear what the quality is like etc

thisi sfrom the same guy i bought mine from 99.4% feedback, so quite good. yeah its from hong kong but then so are most parts these days.
as for quility, lol. as long as it works till i figure out how to install the push start/stop using a rf transponder (completly keyless system) it will do just fine.
#10: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Thu Nov 03, 2011 4:10 pm ---- A little update, flip key came today, still not got a car so will have to amuse myself with just letting the blank blade flip out.
Talked to the seller of the car in the first post, and it all looks good, so hopefully by this time Sunday I will have it parked on my driveway.
Next up is styling, I was thinking about doing a chrome contrast, so headlights and foglights are already done, was thinking the chrome led tails, a chrome led brake light and chrome led foglight, oh and chrome led side repeaters, as I'm looking at a different set of alloys (stayin with 16" ) was thinking of getting the new set in chrome.
What you guys think???
Also do those tuning boxes the 100 quid or so ones on ebay actully work, I mean do they give more power, more torque and better fuel econemy

#12: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu Nov 03, 2011 4:14 pm ---- 100% no to the chrome rear lights.
car looks good though! (£3k does seem a lot for a 107k miles car though!)

Good diesels do, these are known for being one of the worst engines/model ever. Diesels hold value for reliability and longevity, which a hdi gti has neither really.
#14: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Thu Nov 03, 2011 7:03 pm ---- see i have plans to change it up to make it more realiable, so that should be fun.
these are the tail lights i was thinking of
#15: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu Nov 03, 2011 7:04 pm ---- First ones
Plans are?
#16: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Thu Nov 03, 2011 7:22 pm ---- no idea yet, lol.
no i intend to do the usual removal of the dpf and egr, then possible upgrade the turbo and IC setup, then run some sort of extra cooling (similar to water/alchol injection), these are just ideas of things i have seen no idea if any of it will actually work.
what i want from it is around 160ish bhp, and a good econemy. say 50ish mpg around town.
i want the power to be right throught the rev range, as my old D_Turbo was only powerful at the top which p**sed me off no end, i have been told the HDi GTi is a bit more responsive lower down.
#17: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Thu Nov 03, 2011 9:12 pm ---- question,
is there such a thing a white 5w (same voltage as a side light) that would fit an indicator socket, a std indicator bulb (clear not orange) is 21w before anyone says that, a reverse light bulb is 21w, im rather stumped, and trying somehting unique, but i need a 5w bulb of this type. oh it can be led if thats a better option, but has to be of sidelight brightness
Edit: found a set, at 10w so that can work next uestion is what bulb is the indicator, is it a 382 (opposite pins) or 581 (offset pins).
Edit 1: ok so i cant get a 5w or 10w 581 bulb, so would a 21w bulb be to bright as a side light, it will be masked/diffused by the indicator cover.
#18: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Fri Nov 04, 2011 4:38 am ---- yea first ones, second ones look tacky
#19: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Fri Nov 04, 2011 12:32 pm ---- Another small update,
placed a £200 deposit on the car today, so i guess i have a new car. i pick it up sunday early afternoon.
#20: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Fri Nov 04, 2011 1:10 pm ---- ok so im not sure if my new car has the owners pack, so which one should i have as there are so many different types on ebay. is there anyway i can find out. is there anyone else with a 206 HDi GTi on a 54 plate, that can post a picture of there's so i can compare with ebay, as this is something i would like to have.
#21: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Fri Nov 04, 2011 1:12 pm ---- You can download them for free from Peugeot.
#22: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Fri Nov 04, 2011 1:13 pm ---- All the same basically, just make sure its a 2002 or newer version
#23: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Fri Nov 04, 2011 1:14 pm ---- yeah i know you can dl them, but i want a hard copy. with wallet etc so i can keep everything together.
#24: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Razpulsedj, Location: Partying with the Info ShufflersPosted: Fri Nov 04, 2011 1:20 pm ---- Hmm im not sure if it wil have the phase 2 harman tweeters or not mate
#25: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Fri Nov 04, 2011 1:45 pm ---- Its a 54 plate HDI GTI
#26: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sat Nov 05, 2011 11:34 am ---- small update,
some of the bits i have ordered have started arriving, so i will be having fun fitting them tomorrow and monday. i absolutly love my lion, lol.
#27: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Sat Nov 05, 2011 12:47 pm ---- The stubby aerial is fine so long as you get the proper peugeot one, I have one and the radio quality is just as good
#28: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sat Nov 05, 2011 1:38 pm ---- Yeah mine is a pug/citreon part, so should work
#29: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sun Nov 06, 2011 2:40 pm ---- i picked the car up today, after getting lost in reading, stupid sat nav trying to send me down a blocked off road, then the alternative route was a big loop back to hte same blocked off road. we eventually found the dealership and my car, after a 1hr wait for the owner to get up and dressed ect, i was allowed to look round the car. first imperssions were it needed a clean (and still does), not much worng with it usual age related scuffs, nothing major. so now to the test drive.
test drive:
wowwwww, this is what my D-Turbo should have been like, power from the moment you push the loud angry shouty peddle, made me grin from ear to ear, so we stopped at a petrol station where i put £40 in (28.4 litres), this put the gadge at just under 3/4 (however it did drop back to 3/5, on moving away), a quick check on the trip computer said i had 285miles, so back to the dealership to hand over the cash.
at the dealership:
back at the dealership while she was counting out the money, (2995 less my 200 deposit so 2795 in total), i took a quick look at the recent bills. ouch is all i can say, i got to about 4000 quid in the last yr and thought my god, any way its had a new clutch, new dual mass flywheel, new injectors, new exhaust, new silencer, new drivebelt, new cambelt, new waterpump. so i thnk the only things not replaced were the DPF and the EGR.
drive home:
on the drive home i was getting used to the car, keep kicking something inbetween the accelerator and brake, wiil have to have a look in daylight, also was quite amussed to see the trip comp up my total distance to 330+ miles to go. on getting home at 16:30, it was abit late and getting to dark to take pics. so will take some tomorrow, after i have cleaned it.
other noteworthy additions, it already has led numberplate lights and sidelights.
so since 17:00 and now i have been working on my ipod dock, need the dock extender cable before i can go further, so will have to wait for that :(.
#30: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Fri Nov 11, 2011 7:06 am ---- i have taken so pics, but my phone is being a PITA and not connecting to my laptop, so ill post them later.
some things i have done in the mean time
1, cleaned the car, t-cut it, then waxed it.
2, fitted my connects 2 ipod connecting kit (removed the cd changer, have my clovebox back now)
3, fitted my stubby aerial
4, fitted the HID kit
#31: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sat Nov 12, 2011 3:08 pm ---- right, phone is playing nice with my laptop again so heres a few pics i did in the only clear bit we have had since i got the car
clean and shiny
t-cutted roof, very impressivly shiny (well i think it is)
H.I.D. Fitted (you cant see it in the pic but the drivers side one is slightly white yellow and the passanger one is the white blue it should be)
cropped and edit of the above pic
will take some more when i get a good day, as you can see i have fitted the stubby aerial, the rest is as per above post.
#32: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Wed Nov 16, 2011 1:54 pm ---- heres another pic, can anyone guess whats changed.
and no its not broken down, ill take pics of what was actually being done tomorrow, but there is a change there who can spot it.
#33: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: matt.handley, Location: kentPosted: Thu Nov 17, 2011 2:25 am ---- lowered?
#34: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sat Nov 19, 2011 12:48 pm ---- no, it was the black led side repeaters, not the std white frosted style.
ok so i got bored today and though i would take some pics, i had my friend with me and managed to get this
so onto the other pics, these were taken at barbury castle
some at coate water
some on the side of a hill, well a road that runs along it.
there are some panaramic shots, but i have to work out how to stich these together without the camera doing it for me.
when i doo ill post them as well
Edit: Panaramic Shots
think im gonna try and edit the last one for my signature :D
#35: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Dec 13, 2011 12:00 pm ---- not been doing much to the GTi lately due to crappy poo weather, so when i have had the chance i have been touching up some of the flakey bits of paint and sorting out a few other issues (the GTi badge that was missing the G, for example) and some general tyding up.
over the last few days i had been getting increasingly more fustrated with have to go into the glove box to restart my ipod, so last night i started to drill and cut the spare ashtray i have to create an ipod dock, this is the final version fitted to the car, so no W.I.P pics, as there is not much to it
1, get a spare ashtray (or use the original)
2, buy a dock extender lead (saves you having to butcher the connects 2 end)
3, cut a hole the size of the extender lead in the bottom of the ashtray
4, glue extender lead in place (using whatever glue you have, i used cyanoacrylate (this stuff is bloody strong)), making sure the connector is usable through the hole (i just made sure it was level)
5, plug extender lead into connects 2 connector, refit ashtray in place and all done.
here are the pics:
my old 5G nano fitted
pic showing the white led i also fitted to illuminage the side.
new ipod nano 6G, smaller lighter
as you can see it still works, with the new 6G
ipod 6G hidden, lid closed
#36: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sat Mar 24, 2012 9:12 am ---- figured it was about time i strated working on this thread again, as the weather is getting nicer, and im back at work after 10 months off (due to car accident, in my dads daewoo), and bonus im getting paid again. so as money was abit tight this month, i have yet to order the big bits:
New headlights,
New ballests (for the wrongly coloured HID)
Splitter and while i love the DS3 racing one, i cant justify £500 atm, so i guess ill just have to do the tried and tested Cupra R one.
New taillights (cant decide which i like more)
black led foglight
black led brakelight
new wheels and tyres (thinking eveanys and bridgestones)
and just to kick things off, i had some led 501 bulbs kicking around, i had been meaning to do something with, so i thought id use one of them on the interior light
was going to do the maplight as well, but considering the ballache it was to get that to fit i figured id leave it for another day before anyone says its a straight fit, it might be but try putting it back in the holder, its a bit to long, anyway after some butchery i got it to fit and work in the interior light fitting.
#37: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 6:48 am ---- looks clean mate I like how the iPod fits away in the ashtray too

yeah it only fits there cuz its the gen 6, and as such is under half the size of the gen 5, it gives cleaner look, plus if i foget to take my ipod out, its hidden out of prying eyes.
#39: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sun Apr 01, 2012 12:35 pm ---- new day new update,
i bought a spare aluminium fuel cover, as i wanted to colour code one:
old one still on car
sanded and 1st coat of primer
second coat of primer
final layer of primer after a wet sand with 1500grit wet and dry
first level of paint
second level of paint
shiney (third level of paint)
at this point i let it dry overnight, then started to accent the fake nuts
chrome level (looks more silver in the flesh, under my makeshift heater (halogen light))
first layer of laquer
final layer of laquer
left it to dry overnight again, unfortunatly the chrome/silver bled alittle, but it will do till i can get it done professionally
fitted to the car the following morning
and while id love to say fitting was easy, i mangaged to slice my finger on the old cap before fitting the new one
#40: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Wed May 02, 2012 1:45 pm ---- back again with a new mod, well slight mod.
so i bought a viewsonic viewpad 7 (for those that dont know it's a 7" tablet phone, running android), with the intention of having a 7" sat nav, well this did not work out to well as you cant get a screen holder to fit it.
next solution was to place it infront of the MFD, problem was going round corners fast causes it to fly into the passenger side, so to that end i bought a spare centre console, to cut and shape.
this is still a w.i.p, and without pics as using steel putty and dont want it on my phone. so ill take some completed ones or when the steel putty dries.
but need lees to say, i had to cut a bloody big hole in the top part to change the angle of the curve (infront of the locking/hazzard switch) to accomidate the charge cable (this is just a fly lead, not fixed into the panel).
i then realised that i might need to fibreglass it as it was a bigger whole than i though, however upon putting a shaped piece of metal mesh it wasnt that bad, so carried on using the steel putty. after that had set and after a vigerous rought sanding, i used a body filler (knifing putty) to fill any small dips, this is where it currently stands, so tomorrow i will have to send that down to a smothe finish, then prime it ready for a top coat in either gloss black or matt satin black.
on another note, does anyone know if you can get the vent transfers anywhere.
#41: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sat May 05, 2012 9:07 am ---- just got back from avontuning, where i had my dpf removed, and a stage 1 remap.
car now has 140ish bhp, 75nm torque more, and arounnd 7-10mpg better off, all for £400.
what can i say, well it took about 4.5 hours overall, process went smothely, were very friendly, and didnt at all mind me watching the whole process. i would highly recomend these to anyone in the south west area looking to get this done.
as for the drive home well that was just a pure joy, power was there from the getgo, pulling onto the m4, it actually felt better, drove home at 80-85mph, overtaking was a breeze, upon looking down realising i was doing over 100mph, i backed off, back to 80, but it got there without any effort in 5th.
#42: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: adam_w_1, Location: EssexPosted: Mon May 07, 2012 9:44 am ---- Been following this with interest! Would be interesting to hear how you get on with the DPF delete - I want to get mine done (for reliability purposes), but I hear it's a tricky job from people that have had it done (not the physical bit, the ECU bit).
Mine is running similar outputs to yours at the moment, but regens every other journey once stopped (so irritating). I love the slip-road pulls in 3rd, feels invincible (well, for the moment anyway....:P)
#43: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Mon May 07, 2012 9:54 am ---- is yours not already done, i see you have 140bhp was that done without the dpf delete.
mine will be fine eventually.
i personally think the problem with the dpf was masking the other issue, so now i have no dpf the other problem is prevelent, as stated before its nearly double the boost (which im no expert) would surly blow the turbo to bits. as there is no smoke beside the usual soot (i was expection the soot as there is now nothing to catch it), i dont think its the turbo, i think it is just a sensor that is messed up.
i will have to wait till tomorrow though and see what my mechanic says, but form what i have been reading, it is a common issue with DV6's but hopefully once sorted i can have my stage 1 map back
#44: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Jun 19, 2012 4:17 pm ---- little update on things, finally getting to the root of the DPF removal causing overboost issues for those of you not aware, since the DPF was removed, i have been getting an overboost error (sensor sees 2470mBar) as seen in the pic below :
we have no idea why this is still happening at around the 300mile mark, it seems to trip at the stated rpm, on or around every 300miles, to that end i swapped out the boost sensor on top of the air doser, and at 300miles it came back. so as i now know its not the sensor i looked at other causes.
i know my turbo is on its way out (hell its done 113k) so there is one possible cause, however before i said to hell with it and got it remapped beck to a full stage one, i stripped out the air doser, and gave it a good wipe, checked both butterflys moved freely, then began to refit the various pipes. upon fitting the top most pipe this is what i found:
yep a very chewed pipe, that appears to have been fitted incorrectly. so refitted it correctly, but no joy 400miles later, beep beep beep, anti polution fault flagged again. this time i decided that i was only going to mess with 2 parts, i disconected the senser, gave that a clean, and on inspecting the pipe, it was loose fitting, so with that tightened again and the sensor refitted, i went about my business, 5 restarts later and the fault has gone, so i now suspect that the pipe is to blame, and causing some sort of preasure drop which means the turbo is having to boost more, which causes the sensor to trip.
with that though and need a new pipe anyway i ordered a new one from pug, £23.10 all in, but there is a 2 week wait
so with that hopefully sorted when the new pipe arrives, i got round to doing some other things, tips at work had been good lately, so i started on the back end:
yes yes yes slate me all you like for the cheap lexarse lights etc, but i have plans for them so :P
#45: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Wed Apr 24, 2013 4:10 am ---- wow, long time no updates.
so, where are we at now, lets see.
ok original turbo dead,
recon turbo dead,
new turbo from a slavage car arrived today, done 51k, no visual play in the shaft, seems to be working fine. hopefully get that fitted either today or tomorrow, and have my car back.
after that, it will need to be re-mapped back down to 110bhp:( but with a dpf delete done, so hopefully it will stop flagging that P0238 - turbo sensor a circuit high error, then all being well, and it now smoking like a chinese sweat shop factory chiminly ill be keeping it, as 58-60mpg round town is exactly what i need atm.
another concern i have is the cat, i think thats on its way out. will have to wait and see.
#46: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: 206HdiGti, Posted: Wed Apr 24, 2013 10:12 am ---- So after mapping it, it gave you more problems...
This is why I don't see the point of mapping these cars.
I had m DPF removed and the software updated 12k miles ago, have the occasional anti pollution fault, but that's down the to sensor in the fuel cap, but no other problems than that.
Just had a service and it's giving me 70.6 MPG
#47: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Wed Apr 24, 2013 10:25 am ---- yeah im seeing all these problems after the remap to increase the power, as said in post before yours, im going back to std power but - the dpf so it should fix a bollok load of problems im having, mine atm keeps flagging unblock diesel filter on the mfd which is worring as i thought that was removed.
good to see it does work on some cars, hopefully it will work on mine eventually and before i go bankrupt.
70+mpg thats go to be moterways as best i could get round town was 58.8 and that was with a fcuked turbo.
what else is done to your, and who did the mapping as i may need to call them if this guy cant get mine right. i can get my original map put back on the car but then it will flag all sorts of dpf issues, the only constent problem is that overboost one so if i can cure that ill be abit happier
what the smoke on acceleration like on yours, as mine use to be like turing out daylight, if you were following me. i get there will be some smoke but i didnt think it would be that bad.
#48: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: 206HdiGti, Posted: Mon Apr 29, 2013 4:28 am ---- I get normal 'diesel' smoke on acceleration. A lot less than Beemers I see whizzing by me, so nothing out of the ordinary.
I had mine completed removed, not bored out and software modified at a place in Chelmsford, Essex called Kee Automotive - www.automotiveremaps.co.uk/faqs.htm - cost me £450 and that's all i've had done to it.
The chap did say there are 2-3 different software remaps and sometimes if the right one isn't used, it can cause issues.
80% of my 450 miles a week is done on a dual carriageway with a standard 15min traffic jam every morning. Depends how you drive it as well, as I try to drive under 2k rpm if i'm not in a rush.
#49: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Apr 30, 2013 9:34 am ---- thanks, had a chat with him yesterday, he gave me some good advice which as soon as i get my car back (hopefully today or tomorrow) ill be looking into.
yeah that figure is about right, as the one big trip i managed to get before it all went wrong with mine was about 70+ mpg, all motorway, round town i was seeing 58+ with the std 110 (dpf removed) map.
and i hear you about the 2k rpm, as soon as i blip it to over 3 i get the overboost error (which also says anti-pollution fault in the mfd), so once i have it back im gonna check the rubber pipes, and see if i have one split, check the intercooler, check the air-doser again.
then call the guy who did the dpf delete and get him to come to me to sort the map back to 110, then see where im at, taking to an exhaust place today about the possibility of fitting a through pipe in hte dpf can so it would essentially be a straight through system but look like a std dpf one (i have checked and by law neither the dpf or the cat are required on this engine)

I've heard things about straight through pipes bugger up the DMF. But also heard tales of mapping these engines also buggers up the DMF. Without the filter in place its a lot freer flowing and you may have to remove the CAT with the straight through pipe which you will need for the MOT.
If the car comes with a CAT, you will need it for the MOT.

1, H.I.D.s (i have halogen bulbs so thats a simple fix)
2, broken coil spring
that was it, emissions were ok
#52: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue May 07, 2013 8:21 am ---- finally got the car back, felt so different to drive compared to the ZR, still smokes, but not as much as it did, so i think another remap back to he std power it will hopefully sort out the problems im having which are listed below
1, seems to be overfueling (black smoke on heavy acceleration)
2, still seems to have a preasure problem (when accelerating, it feels like there is a blockage in the airflow, then suddenly it clears (thats when hte black smoke is worse) and its back to normal, this happens at around 3000rpm)
3, not sure if its still overboosing as i dont want to try pushing it to far till its mapped back to std
so after getting it back i set to fixing a few problems that have been niggleing at me, so got the rear seatbelt sorted out. and then off to a tyre specialist to work out why 3 of my tyres keep delating, 1 had a nail in it, the other 2 had bead seal breaks so were letting out air, so £122 later and its all fixed, as my tyres were in nearly new condition there was no point replacing them.
so that brings me to saturday, i decided as the weather was nice, i would strip out the complete air intake system, except the turbo, so with that all pipes and intercooler were removed and cleaned, the amount of metal fragments left in hte intercooler was bad. so now with all that cleaned and a quick wipe down (dont have any engine de-greaser) i put it all back together and fired it up, alot of white smoke and then it was actually clean ideling, where it would normally chuff black smoke.
#53: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Mon May 13, 2013 10:08 am ---- little update.
smoke problem seems to be alot less, its still there and still annoying, but its not so thick anymore, you can only just see it out the back window (from when inside the car). still getting a blockage somewhere, but that seems to have eased abit as well, drove it for about 50 miles varying the rpm, and load on the engine, could not get it to trip the overboost sensor, however from experience this wont kick till i have done at least 300 miles, so who knows.
on a plus point, normal driving seems to be fine, as stated above, when i push it it smokes heavy, again not as bad as before, but still to the point of annoyance.
the only major thing left to replace is the air/turbo system is the AIR DOSER.
now if im right and please any help would be appreciated, the air doser changes the flow of air via opening and closing butterflys, allowing more or less air depending on conditions, now it one of these butterflys becomes stuck, would this cause the problem im getting, as if it is suddenly gets to much preasure it releases (causing the black smoke, and sudden acceleration), please anybody.
#54: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: 206HdiGti, Posted: Thu May 16, 2013 5:22 am ---- Do you regret mapping it now?
#55: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Thu May 16, 2013 8:43 am ---- Hmm yes and no,
Yes cause its costing a bomb to put right, the lower (even though I was told it would be better) fuel econemy
No cause the acceleration (when working right) is insane for such a small car, and without the remap I would not have found all the other issues my car has
That said if I can get it running properly without the dpf at std power ill be happier at least
#56: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: 206HdiGti, Posted: Fri May 17, 2013 9:30 am ---- Have you had to replace the clutch yet?
#57: Re: My 206 HDi GTi Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Fri May 17, 2013 10:15 am ---- Nope, nor the dmf, as they were both done before I bought the car
