Done nothing to this since mapping but drive it and put fuel in, after replacing that fuel pump.This clips into a small anti-surge cradle affair in the bottom of the tank, works very well, as long as you remember which way round it goes and to fit the pickup pipe/gauze filter! The Walbro replacement units are a lot smaller than the Bosch original unit, so had to pack out the plastic/rubber bits a bit. The supplied pickup filter wasn't any use as it was for an upright application, but the inlet is smaller than the Bosch pump so the original pickup tube didn't fit, luckily the handy bits of packaging they come with did the trick... It has been a little reluctant to start first turn but fires fine after a bit of pedal prodding and cranking, once running its no problem, I'd also noticed that part throttle cruise, i.e 5th at 70 was sometimes not as smooth as it could be, a glance at the lambda and you could see it was trying to correct it quite a bit, I recalled Sandy was not a fan of the PTFE gaskets, though I had never had any issues on the standard inlet, I did have a pair of Elring gaskets so decided to try them That's after a little clean up, I couldn't remember leaving it particularly grubby but it was, so might have been part of it maybe? Also swapped the starter motor at DCC's suggestion, not sure the starter made much difference, as I still had to prod the throttle pedal a little to get it to catch, no popping this time though, but once it did it settled to a rather low idle. and the warm idle was quite steady too. Still seems a little rich to me on part throttle, can only think it would be due to the new fuel pump though at no point during mapping was the old one struggling to keep up with demand, I think I will get a spare set of injectors serviced, another set of picos for the front set and go and see Sandy again. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

When i had the 6 mapped, that was on standard fuel pump which it turns out was failing and could not deliver enough fuel at times. Replaced it with a Walbro 255 and took it back for mapping and the whole lot had to be done again unfortunately. |

Sounds awesome! I'm hopefully going to be getting bodies fitted in the next few weeks along with an Omex 600. Looking on the web, I'm not sure if the 600 supports plugging a wideband straight in but if not I can work around it.How does the backplate help? ________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

a brief update, not yet got the Satchshift fitted, I haven't got any drills small enough to get anywhere near the bulkhead to make the hole, also not having access to anywhere flat or a ramp makes things very difficult.Got hold of some 205 Tarmac rear dampers, so much more chunky than the konis and the balance front to rear from a brief test drive is much improved. As the ZX seems to sit quite low and these dampers simply will not compress by hand or lever, I had to get creative in their fitting! I had also been experiencing some light vibration from the nearside rear brake under heavier braking, the discs had got particularly rusty when parked up last and seem to have glazed over and picked up some pad material in spots possibly, so Ebay to the rescue with some genuine rear discs, made sure the flanges were spotless before fitting of course. 20150523_173527 by WELSHPUG, on Flickr and lastly something to have a fiddle with tomorrow possibly, a cobbled together used bits, thermostatic takeoff, pipes and an oil cooler, pipes should hopefully be long enough this time, the old Swaged set I still have weren't quite and these are a good few inches longer. 20150524_203740_LLS by WELSHPUG, on Flickr ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

oh yeah, forgot to update, that Walbro unit failed too, which was a bit s**t, send it back but not heard anything, they say they've never had any fail yet, this just stopped randomly, in 3/4 of a tank of fuel.nabbed a VDO unit from a phase2 xsara and bodged it in there, did the trick, not running lean anywhere though struggles to pick up fuel when its parked on the slope behind the house. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
