206 - Horrendous Noise / Loss of Power

Discussion in 'Peugeot 206' started by dave_barnes99, Apr 16, 2007.

  1. After farily long drive and within 300 meteres of home, the pug
    suddenly started sounding like a lawn mower / knackered challenger
    tank, combined with a loss of power.

    No fluids appear to have leaked - oil fine (had new oil and filter
    last month) / coolant still present.

    No obvious damage in Engine bay (ie leaking pipes etc)

    No warning lights come on.

    Gearbox working as normal.

    It is 1999 GLX 1.4, has had last year - New crankshaft oil seal, new
    head gasket, new stepper motor (idle control valve,) new back box....
    all too typical it would seem for this shoddy car... last month oil/
    oil filter/air filter/plug change.


    However i need to keep it running as will soon be starting a kit car
    build and i will require a car in the meantime.

    Have had suggested so far - exhaust manifold? or coil pack - firing on
    3 cylinders, loss of power, and horrendous noise due fuel entering
    exhaust system??

  2. Does it have the same kind of crankshaft pulley as the 406, two parts bonded
    together with rubber. They sound dreadful when they start to break up and
    it is not uncommon.

  3. thanks reply, had mechanic round this morning and was fearing the
    worst.... was acutually surprisingly simple - spark plug had come
    loose under the ignition pack and thus loud noise was engine trying to
    combust and loss of power obvious... another lovely new set of bosch
    plugs and running a treat
