Hi all,
My May 1999 406 HDi (very early D9) is displaying interesting behaviour from the cooling system, I think.
Upon startup from dead cold, the dashboard temperature gauge instantly jumps to read 100℃, and the electric fans start running at full speed.
There seems to be only one temperature sensor in the cooling system, and disconnecting that doesn't alter the behaviour.
Are there any other temperature sensors which I've missed? If so, please provide photographic evidence of their location!
Some months ago, I boasted that when the water in diesel warning light came on, I had to do nothing but clean the terminals and all was fixed. Sadly, the problem has recurred and my simple fix isn't working this time.
The Peugeot parts book indicates that my VIN doesn't have such a sensor, but I clearly have one, so, other than a dealer, where do people suggest that I might be able to purchase this sensor?
I have tried European Auto Imports, Parts of France (Ken Bailey), French Car Connection (Dave/Chris Cavanagh) and an aftermarket spare parts place in the UK I've used many times and have never until now let me down, Neat Car Parts.
Pictures of mine, with the filter housing and some close-ups to hopefully read the writing on the parts, are attached.
And lastly, I'm most interested if anyone can tell me what these two things are, please!
Mounted near the top radiator hose: (my guess is something to do with the air conditioning, but I don't know)
This is mounted near the right-hand mudguard, just behind the upper radiator crossmember.
Thanks, as always.
Andrew
