1997 Peugeot 106 xs review from UK and Ireland
"Unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My 1997 Preg 106 xs is currently only firing on 2 cylinders. the middle 2 cylinders are producing a very weak spark. the problem started from when I first brought the car. it seemed to splutter from time to time for a couple of seconds, before clearing and running fine. after a while, the problem got worse and the problem was occuring all the time and the car had lost power and would judder when accelerating. the spark plugs and leads were changed and the coil pack was also changed. it also appeared that the coil was getting very hot. eventually the spluttering stopped and the car went to running on two cylinders which caused it to have very little power. the car had a diagnostic check and it said to change the ECU. so a 2nd hand ECU was put on the car, aswell as a new coil, and the problem still persists. I would very much appreciate and advice you have to offer. thankyou, email elainemill@btinternet.com.
General comments?
Great car apart from the trouble I have had. quick, comfortable, smooth ride.
