206 kangarooing

Post by carterdarren »

I have a Peugeot 206, X Reg 1900 diesel. It starts 1st time every time and drives well, apart from 1 thing when i`m driving the car at a average speed of about 40-45 in 4th gear, it judders as if its not getting diesel pumped through. It does not cut out but just sort of kangaroos, its a bit lumpy when just ticking over sometimes too. If you change down a gear it clears, but when change up a gear again it starts to judder again. I have read some forums and heard it could be the coil pack, the idle screw or the Ecu switch. Now without inspecting the car could anyone give me a answer to the likely reason to why the car is reacting like this ? PLEASE.

Hey!
When was the oil changed in the car? cos that may be a prob. also the quality of diesel. probably at 40-45 you should not change to 4. i'm not sure, but maybe the engine needs more power to go on (and to gain power one usually changes back..)

When did you last have it serviced, and how many miles has it done since then?
Could it be overdue?
