#1: prolems on first start up Author: dj71, Location: durham ukPosted: Tue Feb 03, 2015 6:53 am ---- hi, my 2008 206 has started to give me problems which is driving me mad.
after the car has stood over night i start it up to go to work (it starts first time with no problems) i pull away and it runs bad as if its got a missfire, as soon as i change to 2nd gear it cuts out and i struggle to get it started again, after about 5 goes it finally gets going although running poor, i did notice if i leave the car running for 10 mins or so at the start to defrost the windscreen the car doesnt cut out when i dive off but still runs poor, thinking it was plugs or ignition coil these have been changed along with air filter and map sensor, now im at a loss as to what it can be, any help would be very welcome

#3: Re: prolems on first start up Author: dj71, Location: durham ukPosted: Tue Feb 03, 2015 1:43 pm ---- hi Addaz, i bought a reader today, and its showing no codes which is why im now stummed as to what the problem is,
i am having problems with my positive battery terminal corroding with a white substance, not sure if that could be related as it does start first time and its never flat on a morning, the car just bogs down when i first set off and cuts out unless i warm the engine first

#5: Re: prolems on first start up Author: Razor34, Location: CroydonPosted: Thu Mar 05, 2015 2:26 pm ---- How old is the battery? If old replace and do a BSI reboot (guide on here through search) and may solve your problems
#6: Re: prolems on first start up Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Thu Mar 05, 2015 3:00 pm ---- Check your battery, recheck the plugs, replace the temp sensor (as ive had these play up)
What engine is it btw? 1.4 16v by any chance?
#7: Re: prolems on first start up Author: johnpidge, Posted: Fri Mar 06, 2015 11:58 am ---- no codes - hmmm odd - could be plugs or coil pack or temp sensor but should come up with some code
Disconnect the battery for 30 minutes to reset everything - i did to clear a few things - codes still there but at least the engine light has gone out
#8: Re: prolems on first start up Author: dj71, Location: durham ukPosted: Tue Mar 17, 2015 10:31 am ---- someone suggested changing the lambda sensor which i did today, now its worse than ever with constant rough running and also i now have the engine warning light on, iv checked the code and its p0036 iv googled it and it says to check the oxygen sensor fuse first but i cant find where the fuse is, any help would be great, the car is a 2008 peugeot 206 look 1.4 petrol

#12: Re: prolems on first start up Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Tue Mar 17, 2015 12:42 pm ---- Was your replacement lambda a cheap one by any chance?
#13: Re: prolems on first start up Author: dj71, Location: durham ukPosted: Tue Mar 17, 2015 12:51 pm ---- from a car part store, £70

I was wondering if the battery wasnt disconnected when the new Lambda sensor was fitted whether this could have blown a fuse hense the fault code?
I could be wrong and clutching at straws but regardless i wouldnt have thought it good practice to unplug and plug in a new sensor with the battery still connected on both terminals

#16: Re: prolems on first start up Author: Carlos_WR1, Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2015 4:03 pm ---- Having done some quick searching it looks like its Fuse 26 but from the sounds of it that fuse also controls injection so if the fuse had blown the car wouldnt even start.
You may have knackered the new sensor by plugging it in when the circuit was still powered maybe?
Take the Lambda sensor back as a faulty part, try another one but this time disconnect the battery before fitting and see how you get on.
