Our little 206 1.48v (1999) has just started to play up, the wife complained about it on the way home so i've just run around the block in it and it decided to give me the run around.
The only symptoms I have are .... it doesn't want to rev, it didn't sound like it was a missfire but it kind of gave the feeling of trying to accelerate against a missfire, it just would not rev. I dropped the clutch in stamped on the accelerator and it picked up and revved freely. It drove normal for 2 minutes and then cut out. It started perfectly and then drove fine. It feels like your driving against the brakes
I've had a quick look under the bonnet and nothing appears to be loose or undone the only thing that felt hot was the radiator and top hose, i'm not sure if it was hotter than normal as i don't go around feeling the hoses all that often. The car has had the hg done and the oil is clean and it has no water or mayo.
The only thing i have noticed is just lately on very light throttle you can feather it and it feels almost like a switch, but other than that nothing. It still returns 40mpg no matter what and there are no lights on the dash.
Any pointers would be great, if not Vera goes on ebay

That was my initial thought, it's on it's original one the only doubt was that it's never misfired or anything and it's just suddenly going.

No coil pack on a hdi! Sounds like a turbo or intake problem.

Could be loads of things. It's similar to a problem I'm having.
Service
MAF/MAP sensor
Coil pack
Spark plugs
Throttle sensor
Air in the system
Gearbox earth
These are a few things I've tried/checked/cleaned so far. I've not replaced anything as yet but obv makes sense to start with the cheapest bits first ie plugs.

It's had plugs, air filter fuel filter in the last 5k. I've been out and cleaned the throttle body and idle speed control valve. It hasn't played up on the test run so hopefully the dirt I've cleaned off was the problem. Just thinking about it, it felt like it was being starved of fuel. Anyway I'll see what happens. I know it's old but if it starts giving me trouble then it will be up forsale very soon

Cleaning the MAF, checking the Gearbox earth & and checking for air in the system are all free to do, so id try those next.

Ok after cleaning the ISCV again, i think i've ruled it out, if you hold the revs at 2k it drops by 50rpm every few seconds then rise's, so i guessing there is a possibility that its the coilpack on the way out. It seems fine elsewhere and it only has a kitten when pulling away at low speed under load and not accelerating hard. I think i'll just pick one up from eurocar parts, they are only £42 at the minute which is cheaper than paying an hours labour. If that doesn't fix it i'll put the coilpack on here It still might end up on ebay though. I've had it too long (7 months)
