2025-03-08 Check Peugeot 307 Fuel Pump After seeing the terrible rusty debris in kassandras tank (suspecting it's either from the old rusty steel filler pipe or dirty tesco fuel?) I figure it's best to check out the 20yr old peugeots fuel tank :unsure: The peugeot uses a return-less fuel...

It's been 1yr since I last checked the compression and 2yrs since checking valve clearances 👀 Insides look good from regular 6mth servicing with 10w40 castrol gtx Compression on all 4cyls are really good & equal :cool: Ever since I rebuilt this engine with perfect piston ring gaps in...

Main way to tell between the gearbox imo is the subtle design of the casing, Note the pre-face CG10 is smaller, thinner input shaft & driveshaft hole, less reinforcement webbing, no lower brace bolt holes. Can't find pic of facelift CG10 box. Note the cga3 is very different, more reinforcement...

afaik there's only a serial # at the top near the clutch cable support bracket The 2002 CG10 uses coilpack ignition with crank sensor at front of bellhousing so the only option is to swap to a cga3 box. The CG13 is a dizzy ignition and doesn't feature this crank sensor.

Cheers All of the GTIR discs I've ever brought have the same dimensions but the main problem is that the carrier cage and/or K11 hub bolt holes on mine makes the whole assembly sit 1-2mm too close to the disc until it rubs at high temp 🫣 But I remember other owners with same brakes didn't have...

I have a CG13 with larger 195/50/15 tyres which runs in 5th gear/2000rpm at approx 43mph The CG13 and CGA3 share a similar 5th/final gear ratio of 4.628 Earlier preface CG10 run a tall 4.7-4.9 ratio (est 41-42mph) Whereas the later face-lift CG10 runs a very short 5.22 ratio (est 38mph)

The caliper carrier has upto 2mm gap from the disc edge Whereas the caliper sits abit closer upto 1mm gap from the disc 🫣 notice the top of the pads have always sat 2mm too low from the edge of the disc I drilled the bolt hole slightly further outwards to shift the carrier approx...

Recently noticed hearing a slight rubbing noise once-per-wheel turn only at low speed, shortly after applying brakes and after driving for few mins. I suspect it might be the caliper rubbing on the edge of the discs (considering they were rebuilt recently) :unsure: Looking under the passenger...

2025-02-17 Walbro GSS250 Fuel Pump Detailed Look For a closer look at how the Walbro 255LPH internal gear type pump works and it's condition after 13yrs, I stripped it all apart & 3D modelled it too The port in the front plastic cover simply feeds fuel into the pump via this narrow...

Gradually working through my to-do list to replace all my nasty old weak solder with crimps 🫣 Next on my wiring list is to sort the wideband wiring.

2025-02-15 Replace Walbro GSS250 255lph Fuel Pump With approx 75% fuel level I removed the fuel pump assembly out of the tank. Not a fun procedure, even with gloves 🫣 🙈 Opened the container & oh my god! 😨 This clean face-lift fuel tank was swapped over 1 yr ago but now after filling it...

Didn't have much energy today but I managed to crimp the new relay wires together Reassembled the loom & dash Couldn't be bothered to correct the wideband wiring (connect 12v supply to the original O2 pink wire, add toggle switch to power-up wideband separately after cranking), check the...

Trying to reach that small plug behind the fuse box was difficult, so there's no option but to remove the dashboard for better access 🙈 With the dash removed I can easily probe all along the circuit to locate where this high resistance is coming from Looking behind the fuse box, there's no...

Looking deeper into the service manual wiring diagrams, I managed to trace where the fuel pump circuit goes and potentially locate Plug #1 (circled in red) where power from the ignition switch enters the drivers fuse box, which could be where this 0.25a voltage drop could be found looking...

2025-02-12 New Walbro GSS250 Fuel Pump The new Walbro GSS250 255lph fuel pump I brought on ebay arrived today, same as the current one Can see the positive displacement mechanical pump mechanism inside, compared to the OEM impeller type
