Hi,
My '04 206 returned from the garage with this part snapped and disconnected.
(couldn't add photo, see link)
i208.photobucket.com/a...1658-1.jpg
The garage have said that they didn't do it whilst checking the plugs (or when they changed the plugs last week during a service) and that all it does is stop interference affecting the radio. It went back to garage as the engine light started flashing with rough/lumpy running when putting any strain on the engine. Unfortunately the problem had 'fixed itself' by the time I got to the garage and nothing came up on the diagnostic.
Does this part 6555.K9, static condenser suppressor have anything to do with earthing the coil pack? I've read on one forum that it being snapped could reduce the life of the coil pack. On another forum it suggests that it could protect the ECU from any electrical spikes from the coil pack. Does anyone know if either of these could be the case?
Other forums talk a lot about a suppressor mod, but is this something to do the main connector in the middle of the coil pack?
Cheers

Go buy a new one from a Peugeot / Citroen main dealer, price was £5.29 last time I checked.
Also check they havent fitted NGK spark plugs.

Cheers.
Is it likely to cause any problems if it is snapped?
To be honest I'm not great with fitting electrics. How would you fit this....

Thanks

Splice the wire in to pin 4 on the connector plug for the coil pack.
Bolt the other end of the supressor to the engine block / body shell so its earthed.

cheers,
i saw that the wire goes out of the supressor away from the coil pack (towards the top of the photo) and into a tube of loads of other wires...... but it actually ends up back around joined to the coil pack at the front?
is where it is bolted just for earthing purposes?
so it's more than just for the radio then?!
cheers

Its attached to a metal point on the engine so its earthed.
Bit of a bodge attaching it to the coil pack stud, that supressor hasnt been fitted by a Peugeot main dealer.
