306 HDI "PugLet" Build

[TommiePuglet]

Hello New To 306s So This Project Thread Will Be Both Random Parts To The Puzzle.

Spec Of The Car When Bought

3 Door Peugeot 306 HDI D Turbo
AfterMarket Induction Kit
Decat
Straight Through Exhaust
Stage One Remap


So Far Ive Replaced The Clutch Cable And Clutch Its Had A Passenger Side Drive Shaft.

My First Tasks As Of Writing This Thread Is To Look Into Remapping As The Gentleman I Have Bought The Car From Has Put A Generic Map On The Car Which I Believe Is Either Gonna Make Something Go Bang Or Definitely Not Doing Any Good For It.

I Am Also Looking Into A FMIC Setup For The Car Which I Would Take Any Suggestions I Already Have The 406 45 Degree Elbow.

I Will Be Also Looking At R70 Pumps 1.6 HDI 207 Fuel Regulators And Either 406 4 Pot Brembos Or GTI 6 Breaks Any Questions Or Comments To Steer Me In The Right Direction Im New To All This Pugness As Ive Moved Over From A Civic Soo.

well welcome along to peugeots then. As for the remaps pro steve is meant to be good (never personally used him before but many people on here vouch for him) he is over at hdi tuning have a google. As for FMIC etc i would get your posts up a bit and post out a wanted ad. im sure paul on here actually has a full fmic setup for sale atm for a good price posted out. Be aware with a standard clutch though it will slip unless you have a limited torque map or an uprated clutch.

Update** 24/04/2017


So Yesterday I Have Started Work On Alot Less Minor Issues Interior And Such The Steering Wheel Has Been Replaced With An Aftermarket Momo Quark Wheel However I Ran Into An Issue With It Catching The Steering Wheel Column Plastic Cover Which Has Now Been Removed And Where The Boss Has Rubbed Will Be Sanded Back So It No Longer Does. The AirBag Light Has Been Sorted With A 1.8ohm Resistor. I Am Yet To Scrape The Clock And Spedo So I Can Changed Them To Bright White Or Blue. I Am Yet To Look For The Earth In The Car Which Was Mentioned To See If That Was Stopping The Fans And Heater From Working. I Am Looking At Removing The AC Pump As The Pipe Are Already Cut So What Belt Would I Need To Do This.

Cheers The Exhaust Itself Is Mint Who Ever Fitted It And Cut The Bumper Did A Terrible Bodged Job.

That looks like a good base for a proper project. Another recommendation from me for Steve at hdi-tuning. Shameless plug incoming; my company (DERV Developments) will be releasing a direct fit intercooler kit very soon, currently in testing on our mule. I would suggest going for helix over CG as while CG are cheaper they seem to suffer from an awful lot of quality control issues.

Thank You Very Much I Have Been Adviced On How To Get A Good CG Clutch. For The Intercooler Kit Do You Have A Rough Price.

It depends on what we can negotiate with suppliers, but it will be somewhere around £320.

Update 27/04/2017

So After My Gearbox Mount Failing And Dropping The Box Onto The Sub Frame The Car Had A New Short Shaft To Find Out The Long Shaft Had Also Been Damaged And Needed Changing Something Which I Let The Garage Do As I Do Not Have The Patients And Tools To Do So. Clutch Cable That Was Dangling And Has Been Destroyed By Stone And Such Has Been Changed And A Clip "Not On Car When Bought" Added To Keep It Secure And Away From The Floor.

Update 01/05/2017

So After What Happened The Other Night Me Putting My Foot Down For The Car To Die And Then Throw Up A Glow Plug And Fuel Pump Primary Circuit Error, I Resorted To Everything Being Changed So On The Day Of Work Its Had New Fuel Filter New Injector Seals I Have Cleaned The Pressure Regulator Its Had A New Battery New Battery Terminals As The Pug Ones Where At Best Classed As W**k At Best. I Have Been Told Many Reasons To Why I Had A P0230 Error To Which I Did All The Work I Could Just Shy Of Changing Pumps And The Engine. Im Putting The Issue Down To A Bad Battery Dropping Vaults Which Has Killed The Pump And Killed The Car. "Sub Was Installed Before The Issue That Night Which Drains Battery From An Already In Terms S**t Battery."

I Am Still Looking At My FMIC Options Which Seem To Have Found A Way To Do It A Local Breaker Has A 406 HDI 90bhp In Which Was Front Mounted As Standard To Which I Will Poach For Parts And Upgrade Parts After I.E. Bigger Cooler And Samco Piping.

Hope My Story Is An Interesting One To Some If Not A Funny One.

Update 06/05/217

So Today Has Been A Good One After A Trip To A Breakers Gathered All The 406 Parts I Needed Then A Trip To Another Breakers Payed Off Hugely. As I Came Across A Local HDI Stage 2 With All Piping Front Mount And Such Just No Fans So After Some Short Cash Departing Later I Know Own A Full FMIC System For The Puglet Which Will Be Fitted By The Weekend Pictures Provided Later On.

Oh the ever faithful p0230, have you managed to fix the cutting out issue? Test it by flooring it in 4th uphill from about 1500rpm and just keep your foot in. Good job on finding the stage 2 kit locally, bit of luck that!

As For The P0230 After Everything being changed along with me binning the old regulator for the better 1.6 207 HDI 110 Regulator everything is running better than ever my theory still stands that the Volts died on the battery killing the pump hence killing the car. FMIC is in the boot waiting to be installed running without fans for awhile as my current 306 doesnt have working fans anyway the sensor has been blanked off. While This Is Being Done I Am Gonna Bank The EGR Aswell. All Thats Left Is A CG 5 Paddel Custom Made Clutch And A R70 Pump To Take Her To Stage 2 Then Its On The Race To Hit 200

[TommiePuglet]

Sooooo im finally back onto building Puglet after nearly a 4 month hiatus. The car is as followed having a recon turbo 220k on an original turbo its time to retire it i think, 406 (Nimrods) i dotn know the correct name but have tyres and are just waiting for them to be fitted. Brake servo issue is getting resolved along when the turbo gets replaced which isnt to bad. Front GTI6 calipers will be added in the near future when the turbo and break servo is fixed. I am going to debadge the rear and look at debadging the front but i am not handy with a welder and have no clue of anyone that is.

Picture Updates Coming Soon

Having an ABS issue on the car that keeps coming or going so i think this weekends gonna consist of me taking the thing apart and putting it back together.

[Mighty306]

The intermittent ABS fault could be down to the failing wheel bearing you mentioned in another thread.

That is very possible it should be coming of the road very soon so hopefully she will be gettimg the love time and care she needs to make her 100 percent again she has just clocked 220k so I’m debating to do an engine swap and turbo upgrade as I think by now they will have lost power.

[Mighty306]

If you can get it hooked up to Peugeot Planet. That should tell you where the ABS fault is. If you don't have it maybe you live near another member who does?

I’m in Telford but I’m sure you can buy Peugeot Planet of eBay for around 15 quid can’t you ?

[Mighty306]

I think £15 will just get you the PP2000 software. You'll need Lexia3 as well, which is the interface that connects the car to the laptop. You used to need Windows XP to run it but there may be workarounds now to get it to work with later operating systems. Someone on here may know?

A quick look on eBay shows loads from £45 upwards but I couldn't see a single one from a genuine UK supplier - most are from China. I paid £70 from a UK supplier about 2 years ago.

It just might be you can use a generic code reader on your car. Some of the later HDi's were apparently fully OBD2 compatible. Not sure when they became compatible tho.
