#1: Oil Breather Author: IceWhyte, Posted: Tue Jun 18, 2013 2:08 pm ---- Hey all,
Recently I have had a lot of problems with my 206 Quicksilver 16v. I have had the anti pollution fault for a while now and have changed the sensor which made it go away for a while but it returned.
Last week I was in the middle of a long journey and the car totally cut out and would start again after a few attempts but would continue to cut out at regular intervals.
The mechanic said it was the coil pack which I replaced but the problem persisted. I then noticed that the pipe that goes above the coil pack, pretty sure it is an oil breather pipe, had a hole in it and some oil came out. I taped it up and cleared the codes and nothing has returned, which is rare.
My question is, would that leaking pipe cause faults such as p0352 (which relate to the coil pack) and sensor faults to appear? The revs still hang a little bit but over all the car is running better.
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for any help.

The leaking pipe could (would) cause the revs to hold a little high as it will allow un-metered air into the inlet so you may still have an air leak on this pipe or you may also have the common problem of stepper motor (idle control valve) sticking. Is this car's idle controlled by an ICV? I am sure a knowledgeable member will be along to confirm soon.
