Does anyone know anything about pug diesels?

I'm looking at a 99T HDI. Now first off, I thought they started putting the HDi in at 2000 which makes me think this might have had an engine change.

Then I go on confused just to get a rough idea of insurance and when I bang the reg in, it says 1905cc which is the TDi not HDi

I've seen a pic of the engine and its deffo an HDi so is it fairly certain that its been changed then?

Thanks

TD I think youll find (group5 ). Or hdi d turbo ( which is the one id like) around the same time or plain hdi ,which are both 90 bhp and perhaps group 7

PPPRob

Whats the difference between hdi d turbo and hdi then?

dpb

Ill be corrected but i believe its hdi powered but with suspension from the previous 3door d turbo ( non hdi) ie- sporty

PPPRob

So possibly the car i'm looking at is an HDi D Turbo then

He's telling me its an: LX HDi DT

The pic of the engine is deffo HDi, its blurry but I can read H-D-I on the huge plastic cover.

Do you reckon that sounds about right then? Or possibly not?

Thanks for your help BTW

Hdi's were introduced March 99 so T plate onwards

PPPRob

Excellent, looks like it might be ok then

Cheers

The 2.0 HDi engine was introduced in 1999 - thing with the 306's is that there are so many different models...! You get the 5 door: LX, GLX, Meridian (have 1/2 leather) and the D-Turbo ,
in the 3 doors you only get the D-Turbo model (has the bodykit, 5 spoke alloys, sports interior, looks like a GTi-6....)

Cheers Raf, like I said the guy is saying its a LX HDI DT, its a 5 door but when I put the info into confused it claims its a 1.9

Now I know I can't go on that only as its been wrong before, so i put the details into the rac reg check and it came out 1997cc which is right.

I think its genuine but I wanted to check with people first as I believed the HDi to be fitted 2000 on.... but I was wrong

Going to look at it tomorrow morning

johnnyroper

the hdi was introduced when they facelifted the 306 in 1999 on t plate
is this the one that you are looking at that does not start from other post

PPPRob

Yeah thats the one

Any help

johnnyroper

on the hdi i have known the high pressure sensor on the rail to pack up and cause non starting easy way to check is crack off pipe to rail and crank it over and see if you get any fuel out
does the engine turn over?

PPPRob

Yeah turns over fine so I'm told

Just won't fire

johnnyroper

might be the high pressure sensor then first thing check for fuel from pump as i think immobiliser kills fuel pump and feed to injectors on hdi

PPPRob

Ok will check that. Just found out that a new fuel pump is about 800 quid

And I also just realised that it won't have glow plugs as its direct inj

Apparently the fuel cut out switch hasn't popped out either

Thanks for you're suggestion, any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

probably the low pressure pump thats knackerd ,fits inside the fuel tank mate.

PPPRob

Is there any way I can check that when I go to look tomorrow???

DJ2000

when cranking ,listen by the tank if you can hear the pump going,it will only prime for a little then cut off ,i(f the engine aint running).You could take off the pipe where it connects to the fuel pump (by the engine) and then crank and check if fuel comes out.You can access it under the rear seat if i remember and check that its getting a live.. quite a problem changed loads of them.. Sure there less than £100 from peugeot

PPPRob

Excellent, another one to check, cheers mate


Any other quick checks I can do on the day???

PPPRob

Still don't start everything seemed to be working ok.

Its been sitting for a couple of months, could it be that the diesels just sunk back to the tank
