I'm not sure how to value such a vehicle. Are the XS models desirable? And are these sorts of vehicles going up in value or is that wishful thinking?!]]>

Just curious as to who's still here these days..
Still Living For The 306 of course

Currently building up my ph1 dturbo swapped estate aiming for a fast-road style of build. Like most I'm often still trawling the forum to research modifications for my forged xud build I'm about to start.
You'll find alot more on my socials these days under the user name Justin_306DTurbo

A few months ago I bought a really cheap Peugeot 306 Cabrio 1996 1.8l machine, Saint Tropez edition.
In the meantime I learned a lot about this car and luckily fixed many bugs and failures.

A fault I cannot classify is the meaning of the following error codes

# 34     Canister Purge Electro-valve
and
# 52     Self-Correction Richness Regulation

as I didn't find a - for me - meaningful translation for these expressions.

Hopefully someone can explain!

Many thanks in advance and best regards

I've become a French car nut over the last 8 years since I bought a very nice 2000 306 XS phase 3.
It was supposed to be my sons car but he's too tall so it became mine.
It's a UK import with currently only 58k miles on it.
Since then I have also bought a Renault R25 GTX and a R21 TXI but my new project is a 97 306 Phase 2 which I have discovered has the N homologation tags in the boot.
This car was imported from Japan as a 306 Style with a XU7 JP4 engine.
This engine was removed by a previous owner who also removed all the wiring harness with the help of some wire cutters.  No, I'm not looking forward to 12 hours of soldering to fix that mistake.
I have now got a XU10J4RS and 6 speed box which will be slotted in once I have the wiring, roll cage, race seat and suspension sorted out.
Any suggestions on some go faster goodies that don't break the bank will be appreciated.
As a side note, through my work we do the 24 hours of LeMons race here in the Shakey Isles currently in a Renault R21 Turbo.   Pic of that added to show we're completely mad.
Thanks for letting me join and I look forward to hearing from you.
Bill

My name is Patrick, and I'm the proud owner of a Peugeot 205 XAD TURBO.
I'm doing a complete nut and bolt restoration.

I've tried to find information on the engine, a XUD7T with almost no luck and a fellow from a FACE group talked about you guys.

So, in the future, i'll asked around here for tips and upgrades. I've already searched this forum and found a few things, so if i re-post or asked a old question, I'm sorry!.


Hope that here, i finally have the answer that I seek 

Cheers,

He was 96 and was driving up until the 2/4/21... 
I have known him since the mid 1990s and have done all of his repair work to his two 306 diesels. Both were XUD non-turbo. To my surprise, I have inherited his green, near-immaculate 5dr diesel 306. He bought it nearly new in the late 1990s. Other that the odd flat battery, heater plug, it has never - not once - failed to start or complete a journey in its 20-odd years...
A couple of years ago, we went mad and replaced every bit that had the slightest bit of age with mostly genuine nos parts. 
As I have a few cars: a mint XUD N/A Xantia diesel, an excellent BMW E36 Touring and my late father's K12 Micra, I am at a loss which to sell. I've just bought the 306 some new twin-tube rear KYB Shocks for a tenner each and a thermostat for less than two gbp. I will keep you updated with pics and more bits...]]> Last week, my very last customer from my Peugeot/Citroen garage that I ran until the early 2000s, unfortunately passed away I believe that he must've been the oldest Peugeot 306 driver in the UK, possibly the world?

I’ve had 3 Pugs, a 309 diesel which I loved, ended up being a write off in an accident.
A D turbo 4 dr, with the 1.9 indirect injection engine, loved that.
And my present car being a 2001 2.0hdi Meridian estate, which is fantastic as I have dogs, and inlaws which use wheelchairs.
Looking forward to using the forum.

Just picked up a 99 cabriolet with what seems like most of the usual problems!! Roof works well though which is good 
Got it cheap and I’m fairly handy so I’m going to see what I can do with it! Fun car so far..

Firstly apologies as I am not a 306 owner however I am a owner of a XUD9 TD which i have fitted into a Suzuki Jimny. My reason for joining this forum is to learn more about this great engine and to get some assistance with a number of niggles I am having. In return I will offer any help I can.

The engine I have wasn't pulled form an old 306 or even a Peugeot. It was an engine that Suzuki had used to marry up with a Suzuki SJ gearbox and put into a Suzuki Samurai. I retrieved it when this vehicle was in an accident and written off.

Since then I have rebuilt the top of the engine and replaced the pistons, here was the first difference I noticed from a stock XUD. the pistons I had have a cut away in the skirt. I can only assume this is to increase the oil splash on the cylinders as the engine is now in line rather than a transverse set up. I had to send the pistons away to be modified as I was unable to find anything off the shelf.

externally the engine doesn't have any of the cold start links to the cooling system which I think is a bit of a shame as there appears to be a number of electric connectors going to waste in the housing I'm guessing where the thermostat is housed. It looks like some sort of cap is missing from mine but I might be wrong.

It had the Lucas pump fitted which I now have changed for a Bosch pump which in turn allowed me to connect the vacuum pipe from the turbo to the diaphragm which was originally blanked off. I have also fitted Bosch injectors as I believe these operate at a higher PSI and match the pump better.

That all said I am having a lot of issues with starting and the engine cutting out. I think it might be air in the system but I am struggling to find the cause.

I would also like to check whether my pump and injectors are actually compatible with this engine so any part numbers would be appreciated.

I am situated in Sheffield

Anyway that's who I am and why I'm here. I look forward to speaking with some of you over time.]]>
