as a follow up to gooseman postings, i have had the same probs with erratic code faults, a decreasing fuel mpg and slow mo in the fast lane of a busy dual carriage way. been to the dealers ha ha say no more, no idea and no concern.
took off the particulate filter and soaked it in dissolved washing powder-water mix for about one hour. i prefer persil but i supose any will do. i used this because i find it is better for dissolving grease etc.
i then used my cheap jet wash and blated it to get most of the grime. then i took it to my mates industrial steam clean and blasted until it ran clean.
refitted unit using new gaskit and exaust assembly paste. i was going to refill serin oil but was told that it would have to be reset on the computer and if i needed oil it would show on dash imfo, so at the present i have left this.
car runs fine at the moment and it would appear that i have another 5 mpg at least.
big thankyou mr gooseman and its worth a try , saved me between 300 and 750
pug computer is too complicated and needs to be downgraded |

Gooseman?
Pug computer?
I am glad you have managed to clear the DPF filter - I would advise readers not to 'jet wash' or 'steam clean' it however.

i have a peugeot hdi exec with the 2ltr engine. the mpg is now reading approx 39mpg after 150 miles. this was with the air con on and at 70mph with the cruise control most of the way.
i have a remap unit fitted from my local garage and this has improved the power ratio as well.
when i bought the car june 2007 it did 35-36 mpg then i fitted the remap and the mpg whent up to 39. after driving through france switzerland italy austria and germany in september 2007 the mpg has gradualy come down to 34-35.
now we are back to a good 38-39.
sorry if it goes against dealer advice but they didnot give me any definate answer even after a £70 wiring check. if the jetwash had failed then nothing lost i would have had to go to them and pay £500-750 to get the car to good state again. |

I've got a 2,2HDi and the fuel consumption is crap and always has been. So am seriously considering a rechip. Any recommendations? |

That engine was far from economical and bolted to a big thing like an 807 I guess its never going to be great.
Many places will do a remap (I assume thats what you meant) - some will be able to offer you maps which are better for fuel economy. Essentially increasing the level of torque and also reducing the RPM of the maximum torque which enables you to change gear earlier.
I doubt its ever going to be great however. |

the one i got was a steinbauer
www.steinbauer.cc
it cost £400 fitted, i may have been able to get it elsewere cheaper? dunno but i am pleased with the mpg and the power. once the unit settled in (i think the engine needed to clean itself or free itself up a bit) the exeleration is brill. for a heavy car and only 2ltr i am very pleased. |

Ah okay.
I tried to download the installation manual but you need to be registered on the site.
