Depollution filter issue

[mada407]

Hi folks,

Was a member of the 407owners forum but there seems to be a virus on it according to AVG... I've been trawling through these forums and it seems great!!

The engine warning light comes on each time i go over 3000rpm in 3rd gear on my 407 2.0 HDI. Any idea's why this would happen? It goes off when i switch off the car and leave it for an hour or so.

Also, i think i need a new clutch and DMF - anyone know what the best price is for the parts..

also, my two key fobs have stopped working (buttons inside on the circuit board are worn.. anyone selling the planet LEXIA cables etc?

Thanks again,

mada407

Engine warning light could be fuel filter imo. Had something similar on mine.

Just had my clutch/dmf done and the bits alone where £500. I paid £200 on top for labour

[adam_w_1]

Just had my clutch done too, but for my 206 - standard clutch and DMF.

Came to £800 for both parts and labour (including VAT).

These gave me a price of £620 for clutch dmf when i had my 2.0 hdi 407.

Pays to change oil seal as well as they are common togo and make it seam like the clutch is slipping when the temp gets high like motorways or up hill it sprays a fine mist of oil onto clutch but when cold its fine.

Hi,

I would remove the dpf completely, ,I just dne mine and it's much better and cheaper in the long and short run! What area are you in, my mate sometimes sells lexia kits but he's in Essex.

You can get new key codes from 'bettyswollocks' on this site.

You checked new MOT laws for this year

Hmm, does this mean they will not pass anymore, from my understanding as long as they are remapped correctly the emmissions are not affected. My mates one still passed the last mot ok.

Thats what concerns me nige the mot bit. Best price i saw was eurocarparts with winter promo code they quoted £420 for dmf and clutch kit.
Also look on ebay, seller on there quoting about £2.50 for micro switches and will fit to your key circuit board. You nave to send it off though, could get cloned i guess.
