#3: Re: HELP! Author: Lewis, Location: Isle Of WightPosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 3:12 pm ---- fault reader mate, however the first thing to always try on the 180 when stuff like this happen is to remove the VVT solenoid, clean it with carb cleaner and put it back in
#4: Re: HELP! Author: LeeMaddern, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 3:16 pm ---- VVT seems fine, im guessing the spark plugs are standard along with the coilpack. the emissions light is on
#5: Re: HELP! Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 3:18 pm ---- Get it scanned then mate

#8: Re: HELP! Author: LeeMaddern, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 3:23 pm ---- wish i had 20 quid to spare to get one. just had loads of visual mods done =\
#9: Re: HELP! Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 3:23 pm ---- I'd charge roughly £35 including coming to you, code reading and changing any bsi or ecu settings

#11: Re: HELP! Author: lukepug19, Location: OxfordshirePosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 3:25 pm ---- Take the plugs out see if they are covered in anything or burnt if they are you might have valve stem seal problems which is head removal to check also do a compression check to see you have good compression on all the cylinders. I'm a Peugeot tech these are common problems on these
#12: Re: HELP! Author: LeeMaddern, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 3:32 pm ---- if thats the problem. what is the soloution?
#13: Re: HELP! Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 3:35 pm ---- When you say the Plug's are standard, Do you mean the original's that came with the car or Original Peugeot?
#14: Re: HELP! Author: LeeMaddern, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 3:37 pm ---- yeah, original
#15: Re: HELP! Author: LeeMaddern, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 4:04 pm ---- ill email a video, if people pm me there email addresses
#16: Re: HELP! Author: Quarmbo, Location: Bristol & LeicesterPosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 4:07 pm ---- Take up Lees offer - you'd be mad to turn him down. Peugeot would charge about £80 just to read the codes. And from what I've heard he's extremely knowledgable and helpful.
#17: Re: HELP! Author: lukepug19, Location: OxfordshirePosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 4:20 pm ---- If that is the problem head off remove the problem valves and they are little rubber seals which help to seat the valves
#18: Re: HELP! Author: LeeMaddern, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 4:25 pm ---- i personally think its the coil pack. can somebody send me a link to a new one ? as i carn't find any
#19: Re: HELP! Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 4:32 pm ---- Bougicord part number 155031 [oem - 597084]
#20: Re: HELP! Author: LeeMaddern, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 4:47 pm ---- how much are they ?
#21: Re: HELP! Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 4:48 pm ---- £184.54 new from Peugeot
EDIT: £184.85 sorry

#25: Re: HELP! Author: LeeMaddern, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 1:27 am ---- im not just throwing parts at my car, its been taken to my friend this morning who works on touring cars.

#29: Re: HELP! Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 4:05 am ---- I'd still get it code read. Things don't happen for no reason, and could cause more problems in the future.
#30: Re: HELP! Author: LeeMaddern, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 4:09 am ---- just started it again, and its running only 3 cylinders again =\ im taking to to my mate in a minute, ill update what he says
