AntoLevo

cheers, ill check it tomorrow. if its not hydraulic operated ill check the clutch, might possibly be the origional one. van has 72k miles on it

have a 2.0l hdi relay 2005, i notice when taking off in 1st gear or reversing it like shutters or jumps a little, like the exhaust is hitting or something. checked the exhaust and its grand and all engine mountains are good too. Maybe its just normal for them

Thanks for the info, much appriciated

Van stopped charging and needs an alternator. The motor factors said there is 6 different types all different amps. My vad is a 2005 mwb 2.0l hdi, ive found a guy with a 2004 mwb 2.0l hdi who has one for sale at a good price but is there any way of knowing if its the same or can i put any on it. i can bring my alternator with me to try check one of the other. i attached a photo of the numbers on it but doesnt seem to give any info that i can see to check on the one the guy has.

thanks for the info, i will do that

black plug relay bottom right beside the fuse box

i just serviced it a few weeks back so i need to figure out how to knock it off. the oile level changes when its level. it reads right on the dipstick so i went with that

Here is a pic attached

there is a light with a picture of an engine on it in red when i turn the ignition on and it gos out after a few seconds

i will check tomorrow, engine light wasnt on before i replaced it. i will check and see and replace the bulb if it needs it unless the previous owner took it out as it was low on power when i bought it and he was desperate to sell. ill check and post up tomorrow evening

Found the problem to loss of power. i checked boost, turbo, actuator etc and my head was melted. i took the mass air flow sensor out to clean it and put it back in and no luck but i disconnected it and bang i had responsive revs. So i took it out the driveway it it was great. So i parked it up incase driving with it dosconnect would cause damage so i ordered a new one for 58 euro and done the job. totally different van to drive.

you could use am adjustable actuator and make a plate to adapt it. i have a starlet turbo and fitted a subaru turbo on it so had to make a plate for the actuator, i would assume you could do the same. if you knew what boost there meant to run you could break the line temporary and fit a boost guage to check the boost as you adjusted it till its right.

thats 18 litres, i put 20 euro in mine which is about 14 pounds equvilant and 16 litres and i have 110 kilometres on it and havent used half it yet, works out about 70 miles. So looks like it will ok on fuel. Will be good to see what i get, just i only use it for biking so will take a while to use it

thats grand, thanks for the info

Just curious as to roughly what a 2.0l hdi swb relay van will get when empty all the time. bought it to carry a mountain bike in and make a seating area in the back eventually. just curious as to what to expect from it. i know its a big van so was hoping for 30mpg. Just wondering does anyone have one and what they get, i just bought this last week and only done 90kms in it so far. its not a high roof either

Ive a swb 2.0l hdi relay, i find it dead on any sort of hill, most hills is 3rd gear sometimes 2nd gear. is this normal ? was going to put a boost guage on it see if its boosting right. i can hear the turbo whistle but before i start looking at boost and checking for leaks are these normal dead on hills

i got it sorted, the van is 2005. i bought a whole ignition on ebay for 64 pounds and i put my own barrel in and the black cover with the wire and it worked. when i took the old one appart it was a spring that broke in the part that turns it. worked out a cheap enough find anyway.

Hi, i bought a 2005 ciroen relay swb with 132 thousand kilometres and one owner from new. van is like new but i was messing around and turned the ignition anti clockwise as i was changing a parking light bulb and didnt want to leave the ignition on. I then want to move the van so i went to turn the key to start it and it wont turn, i cant get the stering lock off or even ignition lights before trying to start. i took the barrel out and it seems ok. Just wondering has anyone heard of a similar problem. i dont know if the key is coded etc and i dont want to get into new keys etc if theve to be coded etc.are the keys coded. Any help would be great
