406 sri turbo petrol 1997

Can anyone give me a clue as to a problem I’m having with power loss.
The car starts OK and there is no indication on the dashboard of any
problem but…on acceleration over 2000 revs (usually in third gear)
the engine begins to judder and lose power. The judder and lack of
acceleration can be reproduced when parked but not so severe. Thank you
for any help that may be out there!

faulty MAP sensor?!!

Hi,
It’s been a while my 206′s engine behavior used to change with any
variation in altitude – the perfomance was significantly decreased as
the altitude increased.
Checking the ECU using diag2000, there was always a fault described as
"STOP LAMP INFORMATION". Deleting the fault improved the overall
performance and changed the exhaust sound too! After 1-2days the fault
was back again.
Finally I replaced the MAP sensor, put the original sparkles back (I
had
put SplitFire 3 platinum recently)and deleted the fault. WOW! it seemed

to be flying for the first day…
Unfortunately the fault is back and the engine response keeps changing
everytime I start the engine. It’s even not stable in the same altitude

anymore!
p.s. I have SuperSprint manifold + rear exhaust in place. There is only

ONE oxygen senor attached to the manifold and no catalyst convertor.

Any help appreciated,

306 A/C recharging

 I’ve had a quick google, but no joy, so…

Anyone know where the re-gassing points are for the A/C on a Peugeot 306?
I’m going to buy one of those cans of DIY refridgerant (I understand Carl
had some success with one), but I need to know where to plug it in…

Replacing upper strut mounts/bushes

On a 306 – does this require the spring/shock to be disassembled?

According to Haynes it does but I did the same on my old Fiesta and
they just came out as a complete strut.

Thanks all.

Fitting bigger engine in Phase 2 106

Whats the largest engine that would fit with the least modification
into a 106′s engine bay.

Currently i have a 1.1 Zest3 1998 106.

The GTi and Rallye use the same basic Shell as a Zest or a Independence
as far as im aware so that would mean a 1.6 should slot in ok.

Has anyone heard of bigger engines being fitted into a 106 or even a
1.6 with a turbo or superchager on a larger than 1.6 engine? I know
that: (pug-performance.com) fit such mods to gti models and rallyes.

Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advanced,

Rem

306 service indicator

I suspect something is very wrong with my 306′s service indicator. it
does not come on with the first turn of the ignition. But if I turn
the lights on with the ignition off the spanner lights up but with the
trip and odometer mileage.

Any ideas?

306 xrdt MOT failure emmissions, now seized engine??

Hi,

My 306 XRDT failed MOT on emmisions, reading 3.75 on the machine, Ii
put in some diesel additive and took for a hard drive taking it up to
the limitorin 3rd and 4th, when I had finished I was on my way home,
slowing down it cut out and it is now dead, will not jump start or bump
start, the engine will not turn over at all, the starter just clicks
because it can’t turn the engine over and when we tried to bump start
it in 2nd gear when the cluth is released its like putting on the
breaks,

…it had a head gasket less than 150 miles ago.

I was planning on MOTing it and selling it, now I think I will have to
just give up on it an let it go for spares or repair.

any thoughts…

Gavin
