#17: Re: 206 wants sleep ? Author: SteveTDCi, Location: StamfordPosted: Sun Sep 02, 2012 4:06 pm ---- Nope, I'm working on the theory I'd throw £40 at the coil pack rather than £30 on a fault code and then have to spend another £70 on a coil pack.
#18: Re: 206 wants sleep ? Author: richpowell91, Location: Melton Mowbray LeicestershirePosted: Sun Sep 02, 2012 4:17 pm ---- As oppossed to spending £40 on a coilpack only to find its something completely different when that doesnt work?
Its far better to get it code read to start with so you know what the problem is, rather than just replacing sensors and parts.We get plenty of people coming into work having done the same as you only to find out that if they had come to us in the first place it would have cost them much less in the first place.
Thats my advice anyway

Author: SteveTDCi, Location: StamfordPosted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 1:47 am ---- Thanks, I understand what your saying and if it had been the tt or cupra I would have booked it in. However on a 1999 206 there cannot be that many sensors and going by how many people on here get through coil packs and the type of fault it's showing coil pack does seem the most obvious. I'll pick up the coil pack at lunchtime fit it tonight and if all goes well that will be the end of it, if not it will probably end up in the garage as you originally suggested
#20: Re: 206 wants sleep ? Author: SteveTDCi, Location: StamfordPosted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 2:54 am ---- Ok, just to add .... it only does it when cold, once warm its fine time to get the fault codes read
Best guess from the man with the spanners is possibly sticking injector, i'll run some cleaner through it and see if it makes a difference. ECU Temp sensor has been checked and seems fine ... its a shame as it runs fine apart from this little hissy fit, once its had it then there are no issues for the rest of the day. On a positive note at least it had its hissy fit in his possession.

Find a injector service center / garage that can clean them on the car
They use a special machine so there os no need to remove the injectors
#24: Re: 206 wants sleep ? Author: SteveTDCi, Location: StamfordPosted: Wed Sep 05, 2012 3:43 pm ---- @mrbsi, thanks I'll have a look. I have found a complete injector rail with injectors locally I may try that, I know of two places that clean injectors locally but think they need to be removed. I've chucked a load of injector cleaner in it tonight, granted it probably won't clear a sticking injector but might help a little.
#25: Re: 206 wants sleep ? Author: SteveTDCi, Location: StamfordPosted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 2:51 pm ---- So tonight I have .... Visual check of the coil pack, removed and re gapped the plugs, two were slightly tight but all were a good colour. I removed the fuel rail and injectors, seals looked ok (£12 per injector from pug) checked the throttle body and cleaned and swapped the ecu temp sensor for the old one .... I chucked a load of redex down the fuel rail... I'll see what it's like In the morning, although it still revs a little wonky
