206 Problems

[Tam]

Hi guys,
My daughter has asked me to "Look" at her 2006 206 Sport 1.4
It was running fine until yesterday then the ABS light came on.
I took it a short run and the EML came on, went into "Limp" mode with the display showing "Pollution Fault" and " Catalytic Converter Fault"
Any ideas where to start? Could the latter 2 be caused by a faulty coil pack?

Thanks in advance

Tam

The first thing you need to do is to get it onto a Planet Peugeot system. Anything you do until you run a diagnostics session will be a guess, and will just eat money.

I want to get one as I also have a Picasso but tbh I have no idea how to use it, engine on/off etc Looks like I will deffo bite the bullet and get the system then pester you lovely guys on here

Make sure to get a good system (there are cheap clones that may not have everything you need. Easy Diagnostics are not cheap, but they are reliable. If you mention that you are a member of the French Car Forum they may well knock off the cost of P&P.

Anti pollution fault could mean anything - it's a vague, general message which acts more as a hint to get the car looked at, rather than pointing to any specific issue.

That's where diagnostics comes in handy, codes and data are what we need

Is there any reason why you're suggesting the coil pack?

Hmm, me thinks I'll print this off for my step-daughter, who in fairness is well entitled to be sick of her 'R' plate 106 diesel, having run it and a Mk1 for about 10years now

....but she does enjoy the cheapness with which it can be repaired and knows I'll be shy of repairing anything later & computerised.

Once again, a new (er) 206 has been put off while she chooses to spend her money on something else (its a Wedding this time) and I've breathed a bit of a sigh of relief.

Good luck with the Diagnostics !

Me... Luddite, yeah, guess so ! What'll I do when (if) my 405 wears out?!

Only reason was the sluggishness of the drive as that what happened with my Pic and a CP replacement fixed it. I guess it would be sluggish anyway in "Limp" mode. It was just a stab in the dark

Thanks for the buying tips and it is where I shall go, I read through the Lexia threads before and Marc was an excellent help as are you guys.

Thanks

I see 2 options, which should I be looking at? One is 140 and the other is 108 and i'm unsure of the differences

Thanks again

If you are planning on helping to fix PSA vans you will want the extra module, but if not, the normal £108 unit will do. If, at a later date, you find you need that module you can purchase it separately.

Ok, as I need to wait till pay day for a lexia/PP I decided to have a visual at the coil pack. Without even getting that far, there is a thin hose that has to be removed which has yellow clips on it. This was broken in a few places but taped together and the tape came loose. Any ideas what this pipe is called? I will post a pic once I've taped it together again to see if it helps then buy a new one(Hopeless with uploading pics though). Unsure what it's called.

If you can get it down to me in Lanark I can run the diag on it.

Found that hose I think - is it under a cover connecting the rocker cover to the air filter box?If so, it's probably this one, but I'd need the last 8 digits of the VIN to confirm:

Reference Description Quantity Price - VAT Price + VAT Total + VAT Selection
00001192WZ OIL VAPOR HOSE 27.94 GBP 33.53 GBP 33.53 GBP

That would appear to be it - there are a few on e-bay, eg http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Peuge ... xyOlhS1RBI

Do a head test, you'd be surprised what a leaking head can do
Different car, my xsara 1.4i had similar issues even garage was stuck then i went old school did a bubble test and hey presto head gasket was on its way , changed ,all good after that.
