Guys

Ever since having my Pug the UNBLOCK DIESEL FILTER light has been on. A mate read the codes today and came up with P2048 which relates to the fuel cap sensor. The sensor on checking was gunged up and broke removing it. Does anyone have one going spare or know anyone breaking a car. Or failing that the cost from Pug? It's s GTI HDI 1.6

Cheers

Paul

it could well be the sensor on the fuel cap but 9 times out of 10 this fault is caused by the pink diesel additive on your car to be low, im not sure of its real name but this is what we have called it, i hate to tell you this but it is quite expenivse, and very awkward to refill. if you want to have a look at the level the tank is usually under the car, on the d/s/r just infront of the rear axle. dont bother phoning a motor factors as they wont have a clue what your on about. but the fluid is availible on ebay.

Thanks for that. I'll need to buy a sensor anyway as the one I had is in two parts now. I'll check the level when next under.

i changed one of those sensors on a c4 hdi 1.6 the other day, im pretty sure it was only around 30pound. dont force it when it goes back onto the filler neck, it should clip on nice and easy

Troy thanks for that. I'd read they were about £25+vat but then also read they were around £70! Hopefully the lower of the two.

Did you manage to get your cap sensor? I had an anti-pollution fault message, took it to peugeot and it has come up that i need a new "cap sensor and cap". I have been quoted £210 for labour & materials but if I want to know if you can buy the part elsewhere to save a few £'s ???

I got offered one for £40 from one of those online car breaking search engines. A new one is £63 from Peugeot. You've got to drop the fuel tank to disconnect the wiring as it goes to the fuel pump and also to the Eolys pump on the other side of the car. Just replacing the cap didn't turn the warning off and mines still on (albeit no faults showing now on Peugeot Planet) so I assume for the price the dealer will also do that.

I got one for our 807 £27+VAT and its worth doing in my opinion as if that filter gets too blocked it knackers them, then its £400-500 worth of repairs at best from peugeot!!
If in doubt, drop a cog and put your foot down Smile
