Title: James V6 CDX (Puegeot 406 Estate)
Post by: alunonhisown on 28 March 2010, 21:09:44
I would like to extend a massive massive thanks to James tonight for turning up at 8pm after driving all the way from Northampton do fix Peachy. I will let James explain what the problem was later, he more technical that myself, but he replaced Coil Pack and cleared all codes, and she is running like a dream again.
James, I am truly truly grateful from the bottom of my heart, maybe no more WARNINGS , there are two members here who know what I am refferring.
Thank you James, Well Done.  :y :y :y :y
P.S. It was raining as well.  :y :y :y

Di - no problem - she is running as smooth as silk now.

In a nutshell - water ingress killed the old coil pack.

Drying the wells, and replacing the coil pack has sorted it.

Also cleared the codes, and none have come back after a little test, so fingers crossed.

Just to add - I gave your brother some advice about keeping the water away - it's important to sort out that joint, else it will only happen again over time, when bad weather comes. (That said, the new coil pack seats much better and tighter).

What has sethsmate got for the leak Di? My car does the same - I tried bathroom sealant, but I've still got a couple of drips every now and then - I've stuffed a teatowel under the scuttle for now.

Glad to hear your car's running sweetly now  :y :y

One of the options that works well is to run an extra bead of cam cover sealent on the underside of the cam covers when doing the gaskets....
