Engine not perfoming well in hotter outdoor temps, 1.6 306 1998, -please help!

Aug 31, 2005 3 Replies

On my Peugeot 306 1.6 1998, I have noticed that when temperatures are hot outside my engine isnt performing as well as it should do, as it runs very different when temperature is cooler, got a lot more poke to it, is this called engine pinging or something, as it sounds slightly different as well, as i am unsure, and if so is there any way to cure this problem



Any ideas?? Much appreciated



Wouldn't be the extra work of the air con zapping the power by any chance?

it's because cold air is denser and so holds more oxygen to burn with the fuel.
