After an impulsive purchase by a relative I've been tasked with sorting out the problems of a 206 1.6 16valve xsi Crying or Very sad

It scrubbed up well which I think was why they (mother Rolling Eyes ) purchased it without it being looked over properly.
Turned out it hadn't been serviced in a ridiculously long time, the oil filter had literally disintegrated (wish I'd have took pics) and i had to fish all bits of plastic and filter out of the housing before replacing it. Obviously the oil was like tar.

I read up as much as I could find about this car and was gutted to discover they never made a haynes manual for this engine! Evil or Very Mad so if anyone knows of a workshop manual could you kindly point me in the right direction? Very Happy

So, i've found out it's fitted with a sagem coil pack, I'm hoping the ECU isn't fried because of it (idle is rough when cold - fault codes show throttle position sensor so hoping thats the cause of it).
I've read that a surge/spike protector can be fitted between the coilpack and ECU, does anyone have any more info on this at all?

Also, where is the best place to get a replacement coil pack from - is peugeot parts dept competitively priced compared to OEM suppliers or (as in the case for vauxhall which i'm most familiar with) is there a company which supplies genuine parts at fraction of dealer prices?

You basically splice one end in to pin 4 on the coil pack connector plug & earth the other end.

Just checked, it's similar but not the same (TU5JP4 in the 206, TU5J4 in the saxo)
Not sure what the differences are yet except bigger valves in the 206, still looking into it.
