Peugeot Car Parts Forum / 206 1.9 HDI Fuel Filter Change

« on: August 08, 2010, 03:48:38 PM »

Hi,

My girl friend owns a 52 plate 206 1.9 HDI, to her knowledge and by the looks it has never had a fuel filter change. Friends in the trade have told me horror stories of the housing breaking and cracking when a filter is changed    If this is the case, is there anywhere i can get a complete housing without stuuuuupppppppppiiiiiidddddddd dealer prices  ( i am a tech at a BMW dealership and know how much 'real' parts cost !!! ) There is also two types listed, what are the visible differences, her has 3 pipe on the top and a green wiring plug on the top at the front.

Thanks for any help

Cheers John

Hi John,
We always warmed these up before even attempting to remove them, always seized, VW must had a deal on allen srews at the time, ever tried to undo the brake load valve on the N/S of the rear frame behind the subframe mount.    :twisted:
Good luck,
 John

Hi John,
You are a star mate    A bit of a supprise that for sure!! Will check the avalabity of cables on the main site, i worked as a tech at a VW main dealer approx 5 years ago and didnt reconise them as something familar, i started after VW had split there sites from Audi. i brought them at an auto jumble and looked ideal for what i wanted but the gent selling was'nt sure what they fitted  :roll:
A quick picture of the set up if you are intrested-





Cheers again mate, John

VW Water Cooled / Anyone Reconise These Calipers

« on: February 04, 2009, 11:01:32 PM »

Hi,
Thank you very much for the reply's gents, John the piston diameter is approx 30mm, the handbrake lever is on top of the caliper. The two calipers have different methods of winding back the pistons, one has a screw driver slot the other a allen key. Other than being different sides they are identical.
Do you know what is the longer cable? As length may be a problem (is'nt it always  :oops:  !!! )
The pads look like MK2 to me  :?:  but been a while since i changed a set.



Once again thanks for the reply, any further thoughts would be great.
Cheers John
