After my last thread about how great my 306 is and how pleased I am with it, I start it up this morning and something is wrong.
ABS light is displayed and the car won't go any faster than 20mph and when I rev it it revs really slowly and no higher than 2000rpm.
Perhaps I have to rethink the new car situation again...

to be honest I am seriously considering it. Been looking at 307's etc but hear horror stories about them as well. I had a 206 for my first car, a Flamenco red 52 plate 1.4 and was sound. Gonna have a look through autotrader now because u can pick em up for tuppence now

Its gone into limp mode. Have you tried starting it again since?
Snow tends to wreck havoc with ABS on some cars in the snow.

Later 306's ABS should be able to flash out a fault code with the dash light if it's the Bosch 2E ABS system fitted

Try starting it up again. My 206 has kicked into limp mode before, cleared itself when I took the key out the ignition and restarted it.

gave that shot, also disconnected and reconnected the battery and its worked! Thanks.
ABS light is still on but its not in limp mdoe anymore, I will give it another try in a few hours when the ice is melted. Got 2 heaters on full blast and a tumble dryer on in their so should get nice and toasty soon

Are the brake lights working correctly?
I know older Pugs if the brake light bulbs have failed the ABS warning light will come on during the pre start check.

ABS light should come on for around 5 seconds during pre start check then go out.
