hello all. lately my Peugeot 206 (2001), has been playing up it will drive normally and then all of a sudden if you put your foot on the gas pedal you get no more power out of it. and the more you press the pedal down the more the engine seems to choke. and the car also shakes . and the car all of a sudden sound like a vw beetle ... it's been happening on and off. but it's happening more often. I have read it might be the coil or spark plugs or it might be the jets. does anyone have any info on this problem to share as it would be very much appreciated
thank you

check spark plugs 1st, does it smell of petrol out of the exhaust? but could be a coilpack.

Thanks for that info.. I have ordered a coil pack and a fuel filter for now and I will go from there... do you have any idea how you get the plugs out of this car.. as they are at the back of the engine... and are at quite a sharp angle..
cheers...

Hi. Getting the plugs out is tricky but straightforward.
You need to remove the coil pack first, this is done by removing the centre wiring plug and carefully removing the wiring loom from the coil pack.
Next locate the two nuts one at each end of the coil pack 10mm or 12mm I think. remove these on the left hand end there are sometimes two nuts one below the other with a bracket in between.
With these removed the coil pack can be pulled out it is a tight fit and can need some force sometimes.
Then you can see the plugs, The best way is to use a normal plug socket in conjunction with a universal/swivel joint to make the access easier, once the plugs are loose in the tubes I normally use a telescopic magnet to pull them out.
Installation is basically a reverse procedure pls be careful with the coil pack, and make sure it slides over the plugs.
Hope this helps.
Neil

If you can get hold of a spark plug socket with the rubber grommet in, it makes life easier to both remove and refit the plugs. Short extension with a knuckle joint or better still a flexible extension is useful.
Don't be tempted to start throwing the ratchet round as soon as you put the plug back in. It's very easy to cross thread and ruin the head. Just use the socket and extension in your hand and get the plugs finger tight so you can feel any resistance from the plug not being straight.

Hello.
My peugeot 206 drove fine for a few months and then all of a sudden the engine would really chugg and shake more than normal... I have just changed the coil pack. But its still no good. There is not much power in the car and its chugging as much as ever now but also there's a lot more smoke coming from the exhaust... and it undrivable.. I have got a fuel fillter coming.. and maybe I will get the spark plugs out and take a look at them when I get a spark plug spanner for it.. has anyone had the same problem .. or has anyone
got some advice on what else it might be. As I am quite a novice on engines
Thanks...

if you don't have a socket with rubber bit on i sometimes take a plug off the coil pack and push it into hole to pull spark plug out,

Or a pair of long nose pliers. Though they don't really help refit.
When refitting lots of people drop the plugs into the hole then put the plug spanner on. You can cause the plug gap to close up doing it that way.

A piece of garden hose pushed onto the insulator can be used at a push.
