CHANGE your engine oil ! it is the Critical element of turbo life. Also check oil feed lines as they can /do become carbon coked , fataly reducing flows . Any worth owning (last 20 years) turbo is water cooled Axial play is 'normal/expected' due to the design of the bearings oilings. End play needs to be Zero...or it Must be rebuilt.. today !.

Yes - oil is vital which is why I change the oil & filter every 6k miles and it has never had a hot shutdown since I've owned it. No idea if previous owner did hot shutdowns which kills turbos quicker than running old oil.

The transmission was toast. The ATF came out shimmering there was so much metallic debris, the friction material was burnt and crumbling and the pump surfaces were scored. The previous owner towed a large trailer with it but these particular units run hot in the XM and to be honest, the ZF4 has it's work cut out moving a heavy car (1500kg) even before towing anything. I bought the car unseen on eBay and it was cheap so I knew it was a risk. Would I buy another XM? Yes but not an auto. Even back when I made the video, spare parts for the HP18 weren't exactly easy to find.

@TK421382 ай бұрын
Hi, I'm not familiar with this particular car, however most torque-converter transmissions tend to operate in the same way. Check ATF level and colour since too low fluid level or too high will make it run hotter. Old fluid that smells burnt or is a brown colour indicates a transmission problem or very old oil. Like most auto transmissions, the fluid will have a fluid cooler and possibly a transmission oil to coolant heat exchanger that will contain a thermostat in a sandwich plate that only allows ATF to flow through exchanger when it reaches operating temperature. These systems rely on the engine cooling system to be working correctly so waterpump, coolant thermostat, radiator must be doing their job. I had a look on Google and overheating does get mentioned quite a bit on 300 forums. Found this video, hope it helps. kzread.info/dash/bejne/n3armtKuZK_NiNY.htmlsi=OYAE1emMuFi_Rz85

Both the oil supply pipe and oil return pipe must be attached and secure before the engine can be started. The bigger oil return pipe is awkward to remove if the turbo/exhaust manifold is still bolted up tight. It's made of a stiff rubber so in effect it is clamped between the turbo body and the block outlet pipe.

It always only happen on the first 2nd to 3rd gear change, then it won't happen again indefinitely until the car shut off. lol The mechanic I visited worked on this for decades and said he never found this problem, I went out with the mechanic and let him drove it, he was completely bewildered by what happened, lol he said that we will know what happened after a complete overhual, so, I'll be reporting back of what is the issue when I found the answer. We tried changing the trans oil, and it didn't help, surely it wasn't oil problem, but something in there must have broke in a very rare specific way.

In addition to the four bolts holding the gearbox to the engine (two at the top and two at the bottom) one of the starter motor mounting bolts also doubles as a gearbox to engine bolt so you will need to loosen the starter motor.

Assuming all the bolts are out including the transmission to body mount (under the battery tray) and the starter motor bolt, there are steel spacers/collars (that act as locators between block & gearbox) that often stick thus making it difficult to pull gearbox from engine.

Ive experienced a slight 'wobble' in my 2006 Xtrail 2.5 petrol Aventura of late when i start it up. It was dry enough to get under it today and i noticed all the way from the engine , to the exhaust box at the rear of the car (sorry, i am not sure of its official name) , there isnt a single 'fixed' bracket holding the exhaust on. There is a bracket on the exhaust which isnt connected to the car body. Its located a few cm forward of where your heat shield nut/bolt is. Am i right in thinking this exhaust should be connect to this heat shield bolt/nut (but it doesnt seem like they would line up and it doesnt seem like the bolt would be substantial enough to me) ?
@TK421386 ай бұрын
Hi, the heatshield nuts only support the thin and light shields. From your description it sounds like the solid metal rods that support the exhaust via rubber 'hangers' have rusted or fractured from the various parts of the floorpan. If you grab the end of the exhaust (on a cold engine) and it wobbles around with a knocking sound then several exhaust brackets or the rubber hangers have failed. It will need fixing because the exhaust is heavy and will be putting strain on the exhaust manifold/downpipe and the last remaining bracket/hanger at the rear. I've looked at my T30 and the pdf workshop manual and there are six support brackets including a bolted bracket mid way which I think is the mount near the heatshield.

I am so glad I saw your video. I was about to go to Screwfix and get some sliders. Your solution worked like a treat. The washing machine slid right into place in seconds. Thanks
Recycling bins are a more useful shape,an old spade is good as sacrificial metal.
That's a good idea.
👍Just did my wife's Honda fit, really hard on the neck
I've been using an empty five litre antifreeze container as a neck support while welding underneath my Rover project. Neck strain is horrible. The last time I got it, I ended up feeling dizzy and a bit rough. Wheel well/inner arch repairs are my least fave job as most welding masks are too bulky. Matt from Furious Driving channel was using a flexible hood auto dark welding mask in one of his vids.
Good thing you checked! Great work on this, I’ve still got that sill closer to come on my Accord Aerodeck, which has similar construction of course.
Thanks, I've had to purchase another MIG welder as my old SIP Migmate is being even more recalcitrant than it normally is. Still got the sill part of this panel to weld up.
Huge admiration for the skill and knowledge (and hard work!) going into this, Andrew. 👍
Thanks Paul, it's been a steep learning curve.
just about to do this on my 2004 206SW 1.4. Can I ask what model Foxwell you have?.. all the advice I've seen says you "must" use Diagbox or Peugeot Planet... my other code readers don't work on a Peugeot but if Foxwell does I'll get one of those !
Hi, my one is the NT414 which is now several years old but still works. I think it's been superceded by the NT515 or possibly 600 series. I didn't have any problems with my Foxwell connecting with our 2004 Pug. In fact the replacement ABS unit cleared the fault code. Just make sure the brakes are bled before connecting the battery. A bit of polythene bag under the reservoir lid can reduce brake fluid loss when you loosen off the pipe unions but have old cloths to absorb spillages because brake fluid will damage paint.
@@TK42138 Thank you !... I have various scan tools that recognise the protocol but when I run a fault check they all say "no errors in ECU" even though I have a permanent ABS light on, pedal pulses on application and I'm pretty sure it's the controller as I've tested the sensors..cheers !
@@TK42138 I replaced just the controller box yesterday hoping I could get away with it, ABS light went out!.. until I started driving then it came back..I read on a peugeot forum, controller and pump need to be a pair, so it looks like I need to do what you've done..
@@PompeyMatt17 How did you do just the box? Is that a seperate unit? I thought that was attached to the pump in this video or am I mistaken? I'm looking at doign this on my gf's citreon c3 but wondered if I can just do the controller! Cheers
I have a very weird problem with this gearbox, it's on Saab 9000, the car run fine without any issues in all gears, but there's horrendous grinding noise when I'm in D and the car shift from 2nd to 3rd for the first time of the drive. It always only happen on the first 2nd to 3rd gear change, then it won't happen again indefinitely until the car shut off. lol The mechanic I visited worked on this for decades and said he never found this problem, I went out with the mechanic and let him drove it, he was completely bewildered by what happened, lol he said that we will know what happened after a complete overhual, so, I'll be reporting back of what is the issue when I found the answer. We tried changing the trans oil, and it didn't help, surely it wasn't oil problem, but something in there must have broke in a very rare specific way.
The back window on my convertible is leaking a bit of water due to a small separation from the soft top. Would this work well seal it back together?
Yes, you can but once it's on it stays on.
Thanks for the response
Also for everyones information i believe there should be 40 rollers per ring. I cant believe its done like this it gave me a heart attack when i took the ring off and had a whole heep of loose pins fall everywhere.
Wow a hot & cold feed machine... decades since I saw one of those. I've used the string method but polish I will us now too :-) thank you x
So there’s no bolt holding the gearbox on? I don’t know how to get it off I see no bomts
In addition to the four bolts holding the gearbox to the engine (two at the top and two at the bottom) one of the starter motor mounting bolts also doubles as a gearbox to engine bolt so you will need to loosen the starter motor. This link describes a bit more detail. pmmonline.co.uk/technical/how-to-replace-the-clutch-on-a-peugeot-206/
Assuming all the bolts are out including the transmission to body mount (under the battery tray) and the starter motor bolt, there are steel spacers/collars (that act as locators between block & gearbox) that often stick thus making it difficult to pull gearbox from engine.
It’s awesome. Thanks
What if i connect those pipes directy....without this valve ....during winter ..or is it compulsory to install it....
Yes - you can connect the pipes directly so cabin heater is constantly warm. There's no law pertaining to heater valves. So long as the windows can be kept clear and the driver has good visibility/can see out. I did the same when I originally got the Fiesta. I used two plastic pipe connectors and four hose jubilee clips from Halfords so coolant permanently flowed through the heater matrix.
@@TK42138 thanku so much...i will do it tomorrow and let u know if it works fine.....
I did it and it works perfectly....
It's looks so similar to Saab's 4Hp18. Maybe even the same
Yes, I ended up looking on Saab forums for spares but even ten years ago, spare parts were starting to get hard to find and secondhand transmissions are always a gamble if they can't be seen operating in the previous car and the 4HP18 runs hot in the heavy Citroen XM even with an ATF cooler and an ATF to coolant heat exchanger.
Ive experienced a slight 'wobble' in my 2006 Xtrail 2.5 petrol Aventura of late when i start it up. It was dry enough to get under it today and i noticed all the way from the engine , to the exhaust box at the rear of the car (sorry, i am not sure of its official name) , there isnt a single 'fixed' bracket holding the exhaust on. There is a bracket on the exhaust which isnt connected to the car body. Its located a few cm forward of where your heat shield nut/bolt is. Am i right in thinking this exhaust should be connect to this heat shield bolt/nut (but it doesnt seem like they would line up and it doesnt seem like the bolt would be substantial enough to me) ?
Hi, the heatshield nuts only support the thin and light shields. From your description it sounds like the solid metal rods that support the exhaust via rubber 'hangers' have rusted or fractured from the various parts of the floorpan. If you grab the end of the exhaust (on a cold engine) and it wobbles around with a knocking sound then several exhaust brackets or the rubber hangers have failed. It will need fixing because the exhaust is heavy and will be putting strain on the exhaust manifold/downpipe and the last remaining bracket/hanger at the rear. I've looked at my T30 and the pdf workshop manual and there are six support brackets including a bolted bracket mid way which I think is the mount near the heatshield.
'Nissan Xtrail UK' Facebook group have workshop manuals in pdf format that can be downloaded. There is a section on the T30 exhaust that applies to both the petrol and the diesels. Shame KZread doesn't do messaging otherwise I could have sent diagrams showing the exhaust bracket layout.
thank you, Im glad i didnt attempt to fix it to this nut in this case @@TK42138
@@TK42138 Unfortunately i dont use facebook . Perhaps i will need to invest in a haynes manual, if they do them. Thank you again for your valuable time and insight ;)
