#1: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: nellyhaggis, Location: SheffieldPosted: Tue Dec 14, 2010 9:58 am ---- Afternoon all,
My 206 GTI 180 has just decided to bring up the dreaded 'antipolution fault'.
Its been running ok but sometimes seems a little slugish when you put your foot down before the power really comes in.
Also if you pull up at a junction it sometimes revs at about 1200 rpm before settling down to it usual 800 rpm.
If anyone has had a similar problem with there's I would be very gratefull for some help of any kind.
Cheers.

Or it could be a Lambda sensor on the exhaust but my first suggetsion wont cost you anything Last edited by Big_Rich180 on Tue Dec 14, 2010 10:01 am; edited 1 time in total

If you take the engine cover off, and look towards the back lefthand side of the engine, you will see some wiring going to the solenoid, just unplug it.
The VVT solenoid is what controls the variable Valve timing, so it will run like crap when it doesnt work.
Where abouts in sheff are you from?

I will fish the spanners out tonight and have a fiddle around with it.
Are these are a comon fault then?
And ive been reading a few older posts and am I right in thinking that the ecu fault will need to be cleared from the car for it to run properly again?
Iam in Crooks. Do you fancy fixing it then?
Ive got an annouying bloody squeek coming from the dash somewhere too. Its going to drive me bloody nuts if I dont find it and cure it soon.

If it is the VVT solenoid the fault code should clear its self, i was thinking i could help you if we met up but its a really simple task and doesnt need 2 people really.
#9: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: nellyhaggis, Location: SheffieldPosted: Tue Dec 14, 2010 10:37 am ---- I was only joking.
I will have a look at it tonight when iam in work.
Doubt it will be as simple as unplugging and plugging back in again thou.
But defo worth a shot.
You got any ideas about the squeek?

Could be mouse

#11: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: kieron, Location: in the housePosted: Tue Dec 14, 2010 10:44 am ---- the fault will always be stored even if the vvt is replace it would come up as pending fault insted of stored
when the vvt is a fault it loses all power its like driving a 1.1! when mine was at fault it woulnt idle because it snaped in 2 pieces so i un[luged it and run sweet but realy realy slow

It will stay as a fault logged on the ECU but the light on the dash will disapear.
#13: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: nellyhaggis, Location: SheffieldPosted: Tue Dec 14, 2010 10:51 am ---- Well first things first anyways.
I will try the vvt.
If its that i will have a trip to pug for them to remove the fault.
You aint heard a squeek like this. Its driving me nuts.
I thought it was theheater fan but it still does it with the fan off.
nightmare.
#14: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Dec 14, 2010 10:54 am ---- I'll clear the code for £20, and I'll meet you in town somewhere.
#15: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Tue Dec 14, 2010 10:54 am ---- Clean the VVT solenoid with carb cleaner while it's out. It's a 5 minute job.
It may also be a sensor in the exhaust bringing up the antipolllution fault.
#16: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: kieron, Location: in the housePosted: Tue Dec 14, 2010 11:08 am ---- tbh ive never seen antipultion fault with a vvt sensor fail
#17: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Tue Dec 14, 2010 11:26 am ---- No but the other symptoms are.

I had it and had the engine management light at the same time, when i sorted the sensor they both went off.
#19: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: nellyhaggis, Location: SheffieldPosted: Thu Jan 06, 2011 3:17 pm ---- Well i disconnected the vvt valve and would you believe it. Fault gone.
Cheers lads.
#20: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: sahdra, Location: WarwickshirePosted: Mon Jul 18, 2011 2:33 pm ---- I know this post is old but i had the same problem and tried disconnecting the sensor and the fault has gone!!! even when reconnecting again.
Car seems louder on idle though ..possibly more responsive and quicker too so wont complain but could this be linked to this? and also for anyone who has tried this does the warning come back on? fuel economy deplete?
and thank you to whoever figured out this fix!!!!!
#21: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: jayz206gti, Location: TamworthPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 10:21 am ---- Think this is unsolvable isnt it? reviving an old post here but just looking round for info as my 180 does this. No loss of performance or anything, i read on another forum to drive on mtorway/dual carriageway at normal speed (65-70) and turn igntion off for a few secconds, flick ignition back on and fault clears. I seem to get the fault when my fuel dips under qaurter of a tank so i usually do the ignition flip on way to work. Not had any serious issues so i havent took it it. Think its just something you have to put up with being a 180 owner.

Diagnostic light comes on while drving then a fault code will be stored, isnt difficult to extract the fault code & fix the fault.
Remember the ABS & ESP plus the airbag system need the ignition switched ON to actually work
#23: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: jayz206gti, Location: TamworthPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:20 pm ---- I know Mr BSI but its only off for a few seconds so aslong as its not rush hour no drama. Plus if i took it in everytime it came up id be adding the Peugeot technicians on facebook after seeing them so much. Dont want to go down the long road of changing random sensors for it to keep happening.
#24: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:31 pm ---- Just get it scanned then you'll know what it is

Start saving up for a new ecu
#26: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: jayz206gti, Location: TamworthPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 1:45 pm ---- How will this equal to ECU failiure?
#27: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 3:12 pm ---- After a set number of times the ECU runs out of memory and needs replacing or reflashing I think.

Correct. I didn't know this until yesterday. A question I have about this, how does it actually fail? Stop working totally or bring up a code like ECU?
#29: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: jayz206gti, Location: TamworthPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 7:44 pm ---- Where has the information come from to confirm this will ruin the ECU's memory?
#30: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Nov 29, 2011 3:43 am ---- This fault will not block the ECU as he isn't clearing the fault. This fault is intermittent which occasionally switches to permanent, hence the eml coming on.
#31: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: jayz206gti, Location: TamworthPosted: Tue Nov 29, 2011 4:35 am ---- So my method wont damage the ECU Lee?
#32: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Nov 29, 2011 4:42 am ---- It won't damage the ECU, but you are damaging the car
#33: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: jayz206gti, Location: TamworthPosted: Tue Nov 29, 2011 5:50 am ---- How so Lee?
#34: Re: 206 GTI 180 Anti Polution Fault Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Nov 29, 2011 6:11 am ---- because you aren't fixing the fault.
For example... a damaged lambda sensor causes under or over fueling for example, leading to a damaged MAF and/or MAP and a damaged CAT
