all HDI's have a bosch fuel pump . .you're getting muddled with the Xud engines . . yes i reckon get rid of the chip, probs be shit and you'd be way better off with a re-map . .as far as the sluggishness goes . . .service her mate, oil and all filters and then see how she goes . .

hope this helps . .

newb to the car bud so didnt know, gonna rip chip off as dunno what the hell it is as all i know it could be a ebay bodge, was gonna put a induction kit on it but dunno what one is best to go for?

[Just Sean]

K & N panel is best mate

well service her first and tbh you don't need an induction kit on, just replace the filter, unless you want a bit more noise then put an open K&N cone filter on or similar .

[Toms306]

They are slow lol.....time a 30-70 and compare it to someone elses. If its really that bad its probably something like the MAF sensor failing.

The chip, yes bin it.

Air filter well no pont in an induction kit, it'll not sound like a petrol so might aswell get an uprated panel instead, should reduce heatsoak too.

[Poodle]

Tom, how the hell is an "uprated" (read "shit at filtering") panel filter going to reduce heatsoak? Where do you get this stuff from? But yeah, try unplugging the maf, if performance improves or stays the same, you've found your culprit.

As already said, bin the chip and give her a good service, always improves things. IMO the best air filter for these is a genuine pug one, after seeing some test results on the subject.

i don't stick up for Tom but errrrr . .he means reduce heatsoak over a cone filter, which is what the OP was on about . . . . .

and no Tom this doesn't make us closer . .

[Poodle]

Ah yes, maybe so. Sorry Tom, jumping to conclusions again.

[Just Sean]

Poodle! Your such an angry man!!

[Poodle]

Hahaha, no that's just the way i talk, it's all said with a grin. You'll understand when you met me in person.

[Just Sean]

I imagine you as a right lady garden if i met you in public!!

Your only down the road too!

[Poodle]

Oh ta very much haha! You're from Basingstoke anyway, your opinion doesn't count. :p

[Just Sean]

im not from their! I just reside near their!

[Poodle]

You chose to move there out of choice, which is almost as scary lol.

Anyway let's stop spamming this poor bloke's thread, he's new, whatever will he think of us.






(Apart from thinking i'm a lady garden, obvs.)

[Just Sean]

i didnt chose to live their either! I have to!

[Poodle]

Bah excuses excuses, not of heard of guilt by association?

[samass]

Sean, ''there''.

But it's true, Poodle is a lady garden.

[Poodle]

Is that why you won't make love to me?

[samass]

Pretty much. I'm rather selective.
























who am I kidding??? you just haven't got your turn yet

[MIKE-FORD]

got car back today with new oil cooler fitter but still oil in rad :/ but been pressure tested and all ok?

tested maf sensor aswell and made it werse so put back on but engine light on now so need that reset, grrr think it could be the fuel pump turned down also there is no smoke from exhaust and mean NOOOOO smoke?

Not sure at all! Haha, just remember seeing it saying Siemens around the fuel pump area!

[lolsteve]

Thought siemens stuff came on the later engine like the 2.2 or 16v that's why prosteve etc can't remap those engines?

[Poodle]

All 306 HDi's have Bosch pumps. As Steve says, Siemens stuff only appeared no the later engines and some commercial stuff, so unless your car has had a full engine and ecu transplant it'll be a Bosch.

These pumps can't be turned up or down by hand, it's all done through the map. If yours had a chip on it it's unlikely to be mapped as well, especially if you're complaining about it being sluggish. There's a chance the chip has knackered your fuel system faster than would otherwise be the case, you need to get it on PP2K or some other decent diagnostics really. Where are you based?

[MIKE-FORD]

andover in hampshire bud

[Chris]

Round the corner from me then.
What ecu code is it as I have a few maps.

[MIKE-FORD]

dunno mate, u know much bout them? you got the 306 estate? as my mate goin on bout someone around here with one and a meridian red one with black wheels whats the same as mine as he was in andover lastnite and drove past me

[charli_lady]

Im not far away then mate, can come over and stick it on pp2k for a few beer tokens.
