Well I'm starting to compile a list of the parts that will be needed for my old 22 year old Peugeot 306 XR. On start up she does smoke quite a lot which I'm suspecting is the valve stem seals purely because after a while the smoking settles down. I've owned the car for almost 7 years (Bought her in November 2008) and she has been off the road now for almost 4 years. In total she has clocked up 153,328 miles which isn't too bad at all for an old 1.4L engine.

Engine is a TU3 series 1,360cc producing (once apon a time) 75bhp which sounds like nothing compared to a lot of cars on this forum. The car has no rear window which was my fault but as for corrosion it isn't as bad as it should be for a car of this age, there is quite a bit in the engine bay which I want to deal with but underneath it isn't too bad. I took the pictures with a stock digital camera so I am far from an expert at it so please bare that in mind :P

I've bought some decent 10-40w engine oil from the store that I work at, doesn't have to be amazing as I just want something clean because the oil has been sitting in there for almost 5 years, I have a new filter and some Wynns engine flush for my day off when I have time to do it. I've been told an numerous occasions to scrap it and quite a few times I've tried but couldn't bring myself to do it, I'm stuck with her and that is OK to me and since it is a 1993 XR there are only around 500 left on the roads in the UK so all the more reason to keep her and once I can find a garage or somewhere to rebuild her I'll make a record so I can put together a build log of some description.

No-one wants to see your old Peugeot in a Skyline specific section, did you misplace it here? The new Euro section above might have been better. :P

Cold start smoking can just be a little blowby causing excess oil to drop down from the PCV overnight and sit on the valve, nothing to worry about usually, unless it does it all the time.

That would have been better but couldn't find it and also it does it all the time on start-up.

All the time, meaning constantly while running.

As a test just drop the PCV off the intake for a few days, and plug the intake side only. Should prove it's the PCV or not pretty quickly.

All the time meaning on start-up. I leave it running for around 10 minutes and the smoking calms down. What is the PCV?

      yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel

      This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).

      Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
