Peugeot 309 HDi 16v

I suppose it is due a bit of a refresh.

To recap quickly; engine in on mounts and gear linkage hooked up (don't go for 5th for the moment) needs more fettling.

Around Christmas I mocked up coolant piping out of what I had and made up some radiator mounts.

James and Ruan offered to call in last week on their way into the Kernow for a spot of wiring.



They also came up on Sunday along with 'Cummins Chris' from Lobb Land.

Bit of fabrication required; MAP sensor mounting & take off, clutch switch and throttle pedal mount.

Mounted a lift pump in the tank, hooked up the fuel lines and codged a radiator on to the front.

Bit of wiring to the dash including making full use of the OEM EML.

Also OBD port is currently chillin' out in the passenger footwell.

Bit of a fail with the brakes...I have no calipers - didnt matter as it wasn't really in a state for driving.

But Mr Frost is helping out parts wise as he conviniently broke up a HDi at the weekend which I also pilfered some better water pipes, inertia switch and clutch switch setup as well.



So we were ready to see if the motor would swing over (at this point I had never heard this block run, I bought it from someone up north off ebay - the head came off my C5 and the gearbox was off a Eco 206 I had a while ago).

So turned the key...no lift pump priming...checked fuses, wires - turned out to be the inertia switch had clicked off.

Then testing the 206 TPS throttle pedal...needed to switch a couple wires there.



...with all that now working time for a crank.


This is a genuine official first start video with all the fails included, sounds like a bag of nails due to no exhaust and loose injector needing nipping down a bit more.

It is also of a 'king edward' quality which I apologise for but we're only interested in sound.

Didn't get another one of it running smoother unfortunately.
