Erratic idling, hesitates on acceleration, not burning fuel, excessive gas consumption, exhaust smoke. ....all of these symptoms are permanently happening now significantly. I have no engine management light on. I had the coolant & MAP sensors changed plus the spark plugs during the last car service.
Something to mention, my spark plugs was fouled when I changed them last time.
Any help or advise?

I would still get codes checked even if eml light is not on. A stored fault might point towards what problem is.

I parked the car for 2 hours, now driving it no hesitation, no smokes, no smell of fuel, no more abnormal fuel consumption...it is just running smooth! I don't want this to happen again.
I had my car fueled to full tank today, does this has something to do with the problem? I lost 5-6 liters during few kilometers driving! And there were a smell of unburned fuel coming from the exhaust.

Sounds like a bad lambda sensor, you need to get Peugeot planet to see if any codes are there

I'm suspecting the Lambda as it is an aftermarket one and done about 70K miles.

Car is still idle erratically in the morning, and when hot...all the time! Sounds like a faulty O2 sensor.

Read the codes. Don't just guess and throw parts at it.
Do you have an exhaust leak?

Could be defective MAP or a few other reasons including Lambda but guessing and throwing parts at it gets expensive very quickly.

I had an exhaust smoke (white smoke) when the symptoms were in the worst status. And a smell of unburned fuel. Not sure what do you mean by exhaust leak, if you mean a fault in the exhaust system like cracks, holes...etc, so no.

Not sure if the old 206 models will show the exact fault on a diagnosis test. Usually all faults appear under the name "Mixture Regulation Function"
