    Leaking problem

    Peugeot Peugeot Advice Peugeot 405 Peugeot 405 Advice Peugeot 405 1998
    ...
    THE fuel injector pump in my Peugeot 405 SRDT has sprung a leak. I spoke to a diesel specialist and he says they have had 10 similar problems in all sorts of vehicles, which they attribute to the new low-sulphur diesel and hot weather. Have you heard of the problem?

    A PEUGEOT spokesman told us they had not heard of low-sulphur fuel causing problems. The company's technical manager said low-sulphur fuel would not damage diesel pumps. On the contrary, sulphur had corrosive properties and its removal would slightly increase the lubricating ability of the diesel. He also said he hadn't heard of high temperatures causing pump failure.
