#1: Peugeot 206 engine cut out!!! please post your problems!! Author: louise599, Location: LondonPosted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:16 am ---- Hi everyone! This engine cutting-out problem is a lot more common than Peugeot would ever have you believe. I’ve been suffering form it for over a year now without resolution. So, we need to get as many accounts of this problem together, as it would be good evidence to go to Peugeot UK or any dealer to try and get this problem sorted.
The post below is my personal account and my details. Let’s get the ball rolling!

My Peugeot 206 Engine cuts out
Post by louise599 on jun, 07, 2011, 15:15pm
I have a 206 look 53 plate and at random intervals while driving the rev needle will plummet during a gear change, usually 3rd to 2nd. At which point the engine management lights on the dash will all illuminate prior to the engine cutting out. I now consider my car dangerous to drive as I narrowly avoided an accident the other day when my car cut out while trying to perform an emergency-avoiding manoeuvre. My car can also suffers from erratic revs while at idle, which can also lead to it cutting out in a similar manner while I’m stationary at traffic lights. Not conducive to a quick get away!
So far my car has been back to my dealer twice to fix the problem, all of which have been unsuccessful as the problem reappears within days of me taking the car back. So far peugeot dealers have not found any fault but as this fault was on watchdog in 2004 they let slip that it could be something with the ECU MAPPING, each time I take the car back to the dealer the ECU shows no indication of any fault. However, this appears to be fairly common with other people who have this problem. it would seem that wherever they are changing or updating the ECU they are using the same software (the ECU programme with the fault).
To be fair to my dealer though, they have been very helpful and attentive but are just as puzzled as I am as to the reason for my problematic Pug.
If anyone has a successful resolution to this problem please let us know. In the meantime, I’m going to continue to press for a resolution with my dealer and Peugeot Customer Relations department.
If I get it sorted Ill let you all know - Cheers!
please post your problems so we can get this to peugeot and beat them with this problem!!
This particular fault was featured on watchdog in 2004 and they make a verbal point with watchdog that they would check over the cars with faults free of charge, so lets all get our posts up and get this on watchdog again!!!
Dont let them beat us!!!

#3: Re: Peugeot 206 engine cut out!!! please post your problems!! Author: wardie_206, Location: Rayleigh, essexPosted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:38 am ---- If it's so dangerous and such an a**e ache why are you still driving it?
#4: Re: Peugeot 206 engine cut out!!! please post your problems!! Author: Danny., Location: PeterboroughPosted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:39 am ---- Things to check/ Replace...
Idle control valve, Spark Plugs - Need to be Bosch, Coilpack.
#5: Re: Peugeot 206 engine cut out!!! please post your problems!! Author: louise599, Location: LondonPosted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:40 am ---- Car was bought in 2008!! had it for 3 years and the last year and a half its been cutting out on me, losing all power including steering and brakes only thing i can do is try and start the engine again to get brakes and steering back or worse case scenario pull the handbrake to stop!! (not reccomended at 40mph!!) there are many forums on the net about this particular fault and in 2004 they managed to get the issue on watchdog!! as that was back in 2004 i need new posts to enable me to get our problems on watchdog!!! please post similar problems and what you have had done and where (i.e. local garage or dealership) thanks again guys will keep you posted on my outcome with the dealers (currently an ongoing fight to get them to change ECU programme for free)
Best regards

#6: Re: Peugeot 206 engine cut out!!! please post your problems!! Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:41 am ---- Is this for real????? I cant see Peugeot doing anything with it being 8 years and all that. Have you spoken to a dealer or even Peugeot UK about this.......
I very much doubt Watchdog would do anything as well
#7: Re: Peugeot 206 engine cut out!!! please post your problems!! Author: louise599, Location: LondonPosted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:44 am ---- im not driving the car anymore since the last time. i almost took out a pedestrian at a crossing due to loss of brakes and steering!!! refuse to drive it due to the cut outs. waiting for peugeots response to free change of ECU programme or coil pack, spark plugs. these could all be factors but the point is there are too many of these dangerous cars out there and we need peugeot to sort it out once and for all!!!
please only post your problems!!!!
this page will go to watchdog!!!

Its worth a try!!! its free to try after all!!!!
Really dont want to sell my car its in such a mint condition!!! lol. will see how far i get with peugeot and if i get no where then i guess its time to sell.....
#10: Re: Peugeot 206 engine cut out!!! please post your problems!! Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:52 am ---- Have you done any research on this.......Do you know for sure that there is others out there with this problem? Could this problem be only with yours?
I can not recall anyone having the same sort of issue on here.
Is this issue related to a certain engine size? Is it Petrol or Desiel?
#11: Re: Peugeot 206 engine cut out!!! please post your problems!! Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:56 am ---- Pass on the blame why don't you.
Cars break from time to time.
If one garage can't find a fault with it take it somewhere else for a 2nd opinion.
I doubt Peugeot UK or Watchdog will take any interest. I think you're just looking for an excuse not to pay for it yourself.

They rang me about 2 years ago about this. Gave them all details of this site (we had a massive thread on the cut out problem on the old info) but they never got back to me.
#14: Re: Peugeot 206 engine cut out!!! please post your problems!! Author: louise599, Location: LondonPosted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 10:03 am ---- If you dont believe me that this is a peugeot common fault check out this forum where there are a number of cases like mine. the cars not broken its got a fault. you should know the difference as your such an expert!!!

That's the old version of this forum from 7 years ago.
It's most likely the battery earth strap on the gearbox, or the ICV as mentioned.

Shame you missed, would've got 10 points.
#18: Re: Peugeot 206 engine cut out!!! please post your problems!! Author: Chris180, Location: northumberlandPosted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 10:48 am ---- if it's cutting out going from 3rd to 2nd surely as soon as you lift the clutch it will just bump start itself so you shouldn't lose steering and brakes for more than the time than your clutch is pressed...which shoudn't be that long
#19: Re: Peugeot 206 engine cut out!!! please post your problems!! Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 10:49 am ---- First question from Peugeot is "Can we see your full dealer service history?"
The answer when you can't produce that will be "it must have been something another garage has done when they serviced the car"
The next thing you will hear is the door of the service department closing behind you.
#20: Re: Peugeot 206 engine cut out!!! please post your problems!! Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 10:54 am ---- mine don't cut out.
and never will

If that was really the case, why did you change the date on your original post/quote from 2003 to 2011? Something seems a bit fishy here...

If your main dealer is that incompetent that they cant apply the fixes Peugeot came up with to cure the problem take it to another Peugeot main dealer.

I'm interested in this, also after the fix point would they have made new 206s from that point with the new fix?

Why don't all you people out there with the problem start a tweet.

#37: Re: Peugeot 206 engine cut out!!! please post your problems!! Author: Lwaznax, Posted: Fri Sep 27, 2013 6:03 am ---- My 206 has been doing this for a couple of weeks now, i sent to Peugeot dealer and they told me i need to change the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors. Which just costed me R12K (1200pounds), and on my way to work, it still cut off. I am in the dark and thinking of looking for a new car because this is just not on.
From what i have been reading on the internet, it could be alot of things. i.e Spark plugs, ECU etc. Like seriously don't have money to waste on fixing things that are probably not even faulty or broken in this car. I am at a loss!
#38: Re: Peugeot 206 engine cut out!!! please post your problems!! Author: thesigma3, Posted: Fri Sep 27, 2013 4:33 pm ---- clean the throttle body, follow the how to in the how to section, this fixed my cutting out issue immediatly!
