Misfire on Cylinder 3

Post by dancharles1997 »

*NEED HELP ASAP*

Just bought a Peugeot 206 1.4 with a 57 reg last Thursday and it has terrible misfire issues. I have taken in to the garage and the error code says a misfire on the 3rd cylinder. I have replaced both the coil pack as well as the spark plugs (Bosch plugs and HAAS coil pack) but when they reset the codes I was still having the same issues. The car shakes and sounds like a bloody tractor.

It may be worth mentioning that the issue is worse on a morning when leaving for work as there is hardly any power whatsoever. I am at a loss as to what to do, the guy at Kwik Fit thought it may be a faulty coil pack but I'm not sure. Any suggestions for you guys?

You might want to post on a different forum - this forum is for 206cc (coupe cabriolet) which didn't come with the 1.4 engine, so you may get more direct knowledge on a regular 206 forum. Try something like www.peugeotforums.com.

Second piece of advice is don't take it to bloody kwik fit - they have their uses but they're for the most part tyre fitters. Find a peugeot / citroen specialist in your area or just a decent reputable garage - they're going to have better experience with this sort of thing.

If it was having misfire issues when you bought it - why did you buy it..... if it wasn't when you bought it but now a few days later you have - take it back to the garage you got it from.

You've got a lot of things it could be at this point, from a MAF / MAP sensor to faulty injectors to cam / phase sensors. You really need to get it onto some proper diagnostic and have a look what the car is telling you. It's possible the generic stuff kwik fit will use could be misreading the code too.
