Glad to hear it helped

Thanks for that, glad to be able to help

Hola, ¿este humo blanco viene de la tapa del aceite o tubo de escape?

With regards the starter, the best course of action would be to get a battery analyser to see what state of healt the battery is in. Most motor factors keep these machines and can tell you what condition your battery is in. Although at the moment with the Covid-19 issue it may be a while before most motor factors are open again. If you have a battery charger try it first, charge the battery overnight and then put it back into the car, see if the cranking speed improves at all. The fuel filter and pipes, the fuel doesnt really become high pressure until it gets to the high pressure pump at the engine, the line from the tank to the high pressure pump at the engine, a bit of diesel may leak out if the pipe is removed but it is at a relativley low pressure.

@@peugeotCitroen2CV Hello and thanks for such a helpful reply. In the time since I last posted I managed to source a new battery before the garages closed and this has cured the slow starting. It took a while but I managed to date the old battery as 2010. I also followed the guidance for changing batteries while protecting the ECU but now the EML illuminates for around 2 seconds after starting. When civilisation has recovered I'll check for codes. In the meantime keep safe and thanks for your excellent videos.

Thanks for the comment

As they say here about diesels "no smoke no poke". All i know about them is they sound absolutely horrible, don't worry C5 V6 videos will be coming soon.

Cool! You should do reviews of your cars and talk in them.

Should, i did with the Xsara and 305 when they arrived its just knowing what to say. Still think for fixing videos the subtitles is much easier and gets to the point faster.

Hola no estoy muy seguro de lo que está pidiendo exactamente, creo que el significado del mensaje es un poco perdido en la traducción. ¿Está el motor actualmente desmontado por qué el pistón está fuera del motor?

Hi The battery disconnecting is just a precaution to prevent sparks flying, when you go to undo the nuts on the starter they are positive wires, there is always a chance the wires, ratchet spanner etc may short against something that is grounded to the negative side of the battery. A safety precaution. Nonetheless you do need to undo the cables/wires on the other end as they are held onto the starter.

peugeotCitroen2CV Ok. Thank you!

Hi there, unfortunately i have only owned one petrol 406 a V6 which is now sold. The best thing to do would be to ask on the 406 owners club Facebook page about the location of this part I dont think they are particularly hard to change done one on a clio once

@@peugeotCitroen2CV Thank you so much. I appreciate your respond and kindly information. Best for you

Hello, I would say the EW10 is a different arrangement to the DW10 diesel engine, the diesel essentially has the intake and exhaust on the back side of the engine giving much more access to the front where the starter as a result. When you say the starter works well on the desk is it rotating ok, but is the gear moving outwards to engage with the flywheel ok? Perhaps the arm that moves the gear has some play causing it to not properly engage, Also what condition is the teeth on the starter gear, and on the flywheel. The starter should slide into alignment dowels towards the end of their travel, that avoids the need for you to set its position, is there any chance these dowels have fell out. How does the starter sound when it tries to turn over the engine?

@@peugeotCitroen2CV Thank you for kind reply. I will keep in my mind. Unfortunately my engine has no guide pins to slide in. I will try to remove and look for the guide pin hole may be they are lost.

@@BarisSOZUAK Have you got a haynes manual? It should have details on where the locking pin holes are if any.

@@peugeotCitroen2CV Yes I have, but unfortunately it is not detailed as I'm expected. I will check again :)

@@BarisSOZUAK Emanuals online do repair manuals for the 406 they are basically what the dealer has. It might be worth getting one of those manuals, it should cover the petrol engine in more depth. However also ask on the 406 owners club facebook page or the forum. More chance of finding someone that has worked on that particular engine.

I cant remember 100% i think it was a T50 or T55, i use this set www.ebay.co.uk/p/Teng-Tools-23-Piece-TX-Bit-Socket-Set-TTTX23/26016617493?iid=131759078129&chn=ps A very useful set if working around a 406, pricey but it is good quality. Ebay has cheaper sets available, im not sure what sort of quality they are but for occasional use its probably fine: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hex-Torx-Star-Spline-BIT-Socket-Set-3-8-1-2-dr-Long-Short-Reach-Allen-Key/142489422438?hash=item212d080a66:g:qq8AAOSwohdZpAES:rk:1:pf:0

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the design it is easy to get at and replace, i have worked on my fair share of cars now and know the 406 is one of the easier ones to work on. The starter itself is not expensive to get a replacement, or even less to have it refurbished.

An early D8 example, very nice! What engine did it have?

BestBuildPC Power of imagination What tool is this? This job went quite safely and all parts went back where they came from, just have a free space and some plastic trays to keep a track of where the nuts&bolts go

I meant u are very good putting things apart. I didn't mean it seriously. lol
