'98 Pug 406 - Overreving, Fault code 202 - pugdriver
Hi all;

My old 406 (1998 2.1 Turbo Diesel) has developed a fault which could be very serious. There is a general lack of power, and if the revs go above 3000, it can go into overspeed and shuts down. Rather embarrassing in the outside lane.

I've had the local specialist put it on his diagnostic machine, and the Fault Code '202' comes up, which apparently indicates an injector pump problem. A replacement pump is £1000 plus, and I'm advised not to try a second hand pump as each pump is electronically coded to a particular car.

Any wizards out there know more about Code 202 and if there is a potential fix? I know it could be expensive but the devil you know and all that....

Hi, no solution to your problem but I have a the same car as you and now & then when I start it up the engine revs 'hunt'. This cures itself once I get going but I'm worried now I've read your posting. It's bound to get worse so if you get any news I'll be grateful if you can pass it on to me .
