Peugeot 306 - K Light again..

Hiya,


I have a P reg 1.6 306 Meridian. When running the engine without any acceleration, so just cruising at 30 or so in 5th gear, and I turn on the air-con or fans, the K light appears after a few seconds. It then disapears when I either give the car more gas, or turn the fans off. I was told once that this could be because I am adding extra strain to the engine, and the fuel sensors think the engine is running rich??



I know that the obvious solution is not to run the car at close to idle speeds when having the air-con on, but does anyone think I should be worried?



Everything else seems to be running fine, it is due for a 63,000 mile service though, (about 1000 overdue)...



Thanks,



Rob

Best solution would be to stop driving at 30 in 5th, this causes untold unnecessary damage to the gearbox.

I know that this probably sounds like a stupid question, but sice I am a fresh owner of a pug306 (used car without any tech books or manuals), I have to ask... what does K light mean.... when it is on ...

Hi,

My light is in the middle of the top of my dashboard. Orange light that looks like an engine block with a black K in the middle of it. As far as I know it lights up to tell you when the engine managment computer is having "issues"...

Mine comes on for a few seconds everytime I start the car.

Cheers,

Rob

At the risk of repeating a previous poster...

30mph in 5th? That's gotta hurt. I couldn't do that to my 306. :-)

I have to defend myself here.. I only did it by mistake, light came on, so tried to recreate it... Yes, that was stupid of me..

Just out of interest, light doesn't come on when I don't do stupid things. So my conclusion seems to be, don't do stupid things...

While I am here, anyone know any good garages in Cambridge area?

Cheers.

Hi,

I'm affraid it isn't a K but the symbol of a transistor. A NPN-bipolar transistor, to give a complete answer.

True.

Not a very good one, is lacking the junction somewhat, but I get the meaning...

Still looks like an engine block with a black K in it though.
