Forum Newbie - Bedfordshire / Hertforshire

Post by dbdbdb »

Hi all.
I am new to this forum but had also joined a "rival" forum if there is such a thing!
Using their advice I purchased the Lexia3 Diagnosis Equipment.

Whilst I am unfamiliar with it, I successfully diagnosed a fault with the roof so if anyone needs a diagnosis then I am happy to see if I can help. For those that aren't familiar with it, it can diagnose faults on Peugeot and Citroen cars.

The fault that I was having was "melodic" beeping above 5mph. My mechanic had checked the microswitches electrically and mechanically but missed the fact that neither the left or right switch was working as it should.
The software threw up several alarms to begin with as it created an open circuit but I managed to narrow it down to the correct switches by using tape to keep them closed! Voila, the beeping stopped. Diagnosis successful.

The car is a 52 reg 206cc, 2.0 litre, Petrol.

I repeat, if I can save anyone the pain of going to Peugeot for a diagnosis then please post here and I'll try to work out how I can help. :)
