I recently changed the oil in my engine but when it came to replacing the oil filter I couldn't get the black plastic nut undone. Is there a special knack to it?? I even tried swearing at it but that didnt work. Any ideas anyone? ????

Whilst changing ancillary drive belt on my 206cc (tu5jp4 engine) I noticed red fluid on parts of engine beneath the power steering pump. Anyone know where I should start to find the culprit??? I could live in hope and discover just a seal. The steering pump was empty. I just seem to find more and mo...

Marvelous, I checked the post on my pc and up they came. Thanks. I have 20 000 k to go and will be replacing the timing belt myself.

Just wondering and probably stating the obvious but I assume number 1 plug is the one nearest to timing belt.

I have read the post and agree a wonderful descriptive explanation of how to. My problem is I am unable to access the numerious pics. Can anyone help????

I managed to find a set of wheels from 206cc 2litre 205 45 16 and they are fine

Went to change the sparkplugs today and when I took the old plugs out they were covered in oil. Buggar. Does this mean taking head off to fit new deals. Any advise would be appreciated. Unfortunately with this engine firstly announcing antipollution fault it has been to say the least an interesting ...

Thanks gazza82 as luck will have it I have ordered bosch plugs and new filters. I have found out that the whistling sound coming from engine is a tensioner pulley. I have ordered a removal tool but also mentioned is asetting rod for the dynamic roller. Do I need to source one of these????

Hi Gazza82
thanks for that I am on a roll now. Much appreciated.

Hi once again have had diagnostics done and fault codes showing are; P1327, P1336, P1338 and just to be different U1118. Hopefully these will make sense to someone.

Hi all, recently found this forum and after reading some post I realised that your forum is the place for me. I am currently restoring a 2001 206cc with the TU5JP4 14 16v dohc mpfi (80kw). Few what a mouthful. Anyway my car is showing an anti pollution fault as has been mentioned by other members in...
