HDI Motorway Missile

#1: HDI Motorway Missile Author: C4llum PostPosted: Mon Oct 26, 2015 6:59 am

Hi!

As per my intro thread, I bought myself a 2.0 HDI to get from end of the m62 to the other on a daily basis.

Here's a photo:

 


It had some spongey brakes, so we to investigate, and turns out it needed a good bleeding.

Front discs are a tad warped, but they'll do.

Purchased some new mats, a gear gaiter, a boost gauge (I want some more power eventually, so wanted to keep an eye on things) and an obd2 Bluetooth connector.

Friday night some drunk lads walked passed my car and snapped my driver's wing mirror off, so that's currently gaffer taped on, new one being fitted tonight.

Has anyone ever successfully paired a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter to an iPhone? It would not sync whatsoever, and I don't fancy driving round with a laptop on the passenger seat.

Trying to persuade the Mrs to let me bring it closer to the floor with some springs or coilovers, but I have a history of destroying sumps/exhausts, so this is proving difficult.

Needs quite a few bits to tidy it up, but aesthetics aren't the top priority for this at the moment.

Thanks for looking, I'll attempt to get some more photos up soon.

Cheers!

Good start to sort the brakes issue as safety comes first :)...

You need a wifi OBD connector, the blueooth ones wont work with iphones.

Thanks for the info Steve,

I managed to get it hooked up to my kindle fire,
No fault codes, which is a bonus,
Apparently I only get 17 mpg according to that, but somehow I don't believe it Smile

Good news on the fault codes, but sometimes the cheaply readers don't see them. Peugeot planet is best practice!

Don't forget european diesels were allowed to convert to EOBD a lot later than petrol cars .. so anything pre-2004 is likely to need PP2000 to get proper codes ...
