big problem. drove home from town this evening. turned the car off. when i went to turn it back on. GTi 180 btw
Bad -
- turned on, revs dropped then leveled out
- very choppy tickover
- loser of power
- sounds like its only running 3 cylinders
Good -
- no smoke
- no oil
- not over heating
- no creamy stuff in oil

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

VVT seems fine, im guessing the spark plugs are standard along with the coilpack. the emissions light is on

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

When you say the Plug's are standard, Do you mean the original's that came with the car or Original Peugeot?
