i dont understand re easy to get to the egr valve on 2.0hdi it is at the left hand upper rear of engine.
i have tried the spray in egr cleaner but that didnt seem to make any difference
i have a 2000 with a 2.0hdi
it had 24k from new how ever
ive had variouse problems and still do
right from the start it was difficult to start
that was the starter motor not quite powerful enough.
then limp mode, i believe that was the egr valve
im close to having an attemp at changing or cleaning it. its very difficult to get at it
one fault was
the fuel and temp went to full and the engine off red light came on
the engine was cutting out but starting its self straight away. this fault damaged the crankshaft rubber i managed to weld the crankshaft back together to get home then
i changed that.
i also fitted a new crank sensor
AND
took the auto fuel cut out switch off
this is a black unit with a red rubber cap. its meant to cut the fuel supply in an accident
i cleaned it and put it back
the engine wouldnt start
i pushed the middle red bit back down and the engine started fine
i think the ball bearing can get rusty and the two metal blade contacts can corrode, causing the switch to cut the fuel !
anyway
i renewed the fuel pump relay
and stripped out all the wirering between the ECU across the front of the engine to the fuses and relays but found no damaged wires
but it kept cutting out until i fitted the new crank sensor/ and or stripped and cleaned the accident fuel cut off valve
trouble is i did both at the same time so which was the cause.
so back to the present
van now has just over 40k
starts spot on
orange engine light comes on and goes off when it decides to
the light will normally come on if i give it higher revs
next fault is
until the revs get up the engine is sluggish
then as it reaches a certain rev range away it goes, just like hitting a power band
as i said im going to work on van over next few weeks
first job is egr, i shall do or shall i say attempt to do it from under the van with quarter drive sockets
but suggestions after that please
im ready to change the timing belt but.just incase any one has had issues re crank shaft and the movement to.micro ajust the timing. as it stands i only have the engine locking tools
has any one checked the timing on this engine with out the fancy gauge
cheers

wotcha all
got a 2002 citroen despatch
on start up
the temp flicks to high
engine stop flashes
engine cuts out momentarily but keeps running
it is irratic some times fine other times non stop juddering as the engine cuts out, the radiator fan cuts in when this happens. it does it even without the engine running
also some times when i turn the engine off the fan comes on and keeps going
it has now crunched the crankshaft pulley. i managed to get where i was going and as a get me home
welded the crank pulley back together
so far i swapped out the
fuel pump relay
glow plug relay
engine temp sensor
but its still the same
i did strip the loom from the ecu
to the engine but found no visable faults
at the mo i have it up in the air
i checked all the pin connectors
i had the use of a obd11 but it showed nothing
i have changed the fuel filter
( twice)
that made no difference
the van has just over 40k from new
i cant afford to take it to a dealer
i found last week end when the pulley went pop because of the juddering engine, that below 30mph it was constant around 50mph less or i couldnt notice it as much
the fuel pump relay gets warm
also today i noted one of the blue relays in fuse box behind battery was clicking as the rad fan cut in and out
the engine runs as it should no over heating no loss of coolant
oil level is good
any one had this ??
cheers
