Year of Manufacture *: 2004
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: 1900d

Hi

I'm Trying to reprogram CIM using tech2 & i keep getting message "contact TSI for permission"
does the CIM have a limit to the number of times it is re-set? Im thinking it may of been done a few times before!.
jumped the gun there a bit , the car has an intermittent non start & no comms with abs , engine, & instrument cluster, did a cim re-set as a precaution ,went to re-prog & all I get is the above message & unable to input secure code to proceed.
Oh & a dead £100 worth of vectra in my shop! nice!
Oh to cap my day broken heater plug tip in a dv6 on a Citroen C4, should of gone into recovery me thinks!

Hi Keith

Cant help with the Vectra problem but not sure if you are aware there is a tool available to remove broken glow plug tips.

I might be able to get details of someone in your area that can remove them if thats of any help.

Hi Keith

I think what its asking for is a security accsess.

If so you have to download security access from TIS to gain permission to program.

Hi Keith

The tool I have is made by Pichler.

I have never used it on that vehicle but I have had quite a bit of success on other vehicles. It does take a bit of practice and doesn't work all the time.

It would depend on the length of the part that is broken and also how much access there is to get in with the drills.

The other option I have heard some people doing is to punch the remaining part of the glow plug into the cylinder, remove the injector and use a magnet to pull the glow plug tip out the injector hole (I personally would be worried that I didn't get it all out)

Give me a call if you need any more info

Sounds about right. Other tools will not

thanks for your replies the vectra was a case of renewing tis licence
On the other turd,id allready decided to punch the tip throu & low and behold the injector was stuck!!
2 more injectors siezed number 1 injector snapped on removal!!
we all read horror storys on here & think im glad that hasnt happend to me ,looks like i got mine,these DV6 engines r a recipe for disaster & i dont think theres any amount of customer pre preperation you can give out that would justify the hours & costs involved to get a car like this back on the road & KEEP the customer long term
I will think very carefully about future glow plug replacemnt!
