The Dispatch | Expert | Scudo Hub

So, to try and sum it all up in as concisely as I can.

it appears you have a DW10 UTED4 / RHK engine which is
a 2.0 litre common rail Turbo-diesel 16-valve with catalyst
Euro 5 compliant
and this variant has an engine mounted lift pump.
( like many of the 1.6 HDI's BTW)
You have still neglected to mention mileage.........

For comparison, my 2006 2.0 HDI (DW10 ATED / RHZ) has an electrical in tank lift pump
which at 135K is running well (fingers crossed)

Reported Fault:
intermittent starting issues, once started it runs ok

Correct?

'Test don't Guess' is my wee mantra when debugging but we all cant help guessing anyway
cos we're all human right?

If it were my vehicle I would get the OBD kit running on it and check fault codes
for clues before committing to spending.
Not all faults trigger an eml light.
I've got various VCIs up to a bootlegged Lexia which runs in WinXP in a VM (I hate it!)
but my favourite for the Expert is a Multidiag pro from Aliexpress running bootlegged Delphi.
This may not get under the hood as far as Lexia, but it gets the codes and some other data
which is all I want most of the time and it works on other vehicles too.
I've used it on my Expert and recently a 2011 Peugeot 308 1.6 HDI and a 2001 1.8 petrol Audi TT to read/clear fault codes.

Personally I wouldn't even bother getting ripped for an original one
and would probably mod a motorcycle oil cooler in for a fraction of the price.
An oil cooler should be capable of handling the higher temps and pressure than say a small radiator
so that's why I'd go in that direction.

I'd try browsing here by checking out sizes, dimensions and fitting that could be suitable

let us know so other can benefit from you experience

If you do have to use the van, keep the tank well topped up as this extra mass will help slow down the rise in temperature of the cycling fuel
a low fuel level would heat up way quicker and possibly get it too hot.
Getting put now and again  and putting a hand on the tank would help you get an idea
If its too hot touch stop and let in cool down and/or add fuel if you can.
45 degrees C-ish would be OK

Driving moderately in high would help a bit too

Its bit of a can of worms but have a look at my attempt to get a discussion going on this subject with virtually no response
so I don't bother any more

I fitted new door speakers for my Sony Xplod and they work well
but I also bought some 4" Pioneer speakers for another project and made cabinets
but that project was abandoned.
I haven't felt much need to fit these in the van as it's pretty quiet now and I don't think I really need them
I made the cabinets as compact as I could and they're roughly 150mm square and 68mm deep

Any van is a big tin drum so I insulated mine and it's made it much quieter
see in this thread

I also add deflectors to the doors to cut the wind noise and cruising on the motorway at say 65-70 it's
acceptable and most of the noise seems to come from the tyres and road surface so I don't have to
crank the volume up much to compensate

I understand your frustration with the thing, as I've had few nightmare vehicles too
But before throwing away your investment I suggest you check the pump timing is correct and
hasn't slipped to a retarded position which could cause the symptoms you describe.
It shouldn't cost you anything but some time to check.
I cant tell you the procedure exactly as I have a different engine but generally you pin/lock the crank
and camshaft with dowels (or drill bits), then check and/or set the pump timing using the marks
or whatever the manual says.

If you get it running well but you're sick of it, you can at least sell it and get more of your money back

I see Honda and 2000 and I think auto box but what model and spec would help
petrol? deisel? 2WD? 4WD? stuff like that

Assuming your system is the same as mine, When you check for voltage on the supply wire I suggest you also check
ground continuity on the other, as with no or a bad ground connection, it wont operate.

Don't know if its any help but my 2006 2.0HDI has AC and only two wires going to the aircon compressor
One grey ( B079) which carries power from the relay
One green/yellow (M8020) to ground.
According to the diagram,  I could bypass the relay by putting 12v on the Grey cable and see if the
electromagnetic clutch operates, or at least check for a voltage
HTH

Incidentally, a faulty pressure switch may prevent the relay powering up the  compressor clutch
I had happen on my old Galaxy and the AC guys said it was often that and when changed, it was fine.

This is my first PSA van since a Citroen C15 (1.9D) years ago
and have the 2.0 DW10 in mine so have to rely on pics to know wtf is going on with others
and often have to make guesses.

I had 1.9 TDi VAG engined Galaxy previously and all the info I could ever need was easily obtained
including OBD stuff
If I could have put a van body on that I would have been very happy but swapped it for this one
which with same foot print but higher van body, seemed a good idea at first but I'm not impressed by them.

It's been reliable, but I have done the servicing and maintenance on it so reckon I deserve
some of that.
I hate the fact I've have had to struggle to get info and half decent wiring diagrams.

The 1.9 being bombproof is a fallacy IMO
Yes they're the simplest, but like any other engine, if abused or not maintained properly they'll fail
earlier than a well maintained one.
Also all our vans are old bangers now and suffer age related issues if not maintained and by the time we get them we can only hope they have some life left in them.

2000 eh?
Why are you asking this in the "Mk3 Vans | 2016 - Present"  Forum?

Yep, that's the snag, you cant tell by looking what a springs' spring and load rate is.
One would hope the Synergie spring rate would be lower, ie start to deflect at a lower weight than a Dispatch one
but the load rate somewhere close

Well you are asking about a MK2 in the MKI section John
for myself I'm still struggling to find decent info on my MK1
so not much help on a MKII
