Hi,
I have a strange problem with my 306 (1.4 built in '95), but not the money to let it repair at a official peugeot-garage, because most of them are not so reputable like they seems to be. I mean the fact I go to them and tell them "hey something thats wrong with my car, but I don't know what." - Can you suggest the euro-symbols in their eyes? ;)
Anyway, I try to describe it, maybe somebody had a similar problem in the past or heared of it.
The idle running of my car is making troubles. Some days everything is fine and on other days (like today (cold and foggy -> but I don't remember if it was all the time the problems occured cold and wet)) the idle running is very unsteady up to cut off. I have to give a little bit gas while waiting at crossings or traffic lights, to prevent a cut off. But thats not economic, comfortable and (in my opinion) very unsafe (suggest an engine cut off when you _really_ need to drive away).
Any ideas what this can be? My (usual) garage already replaced the spark coil, but it doesn't changed anything. I asked another garage and they told me maybe it's a damaged spark plug, which need "some minutes" to work properly. But what are "some minutes"? I drive every day 20km (one way) to work (including 10 kilometers autobahn) and the problems is after this distance still present but not as strong. Is this distance far enough to push the spark plugs to working temperature?
My (usual, cheap and friendly) garage is stumped right now and doesn't know whats the problem. The only thing left he could imagine is a defect at the (injection-?)electronics (maybe a cold solder joint), but because if the fact he won't told me the costs of a new one (;)) i fear it's very expensive. Does somebody know the costs of an used or new one? Or aren't this symptoms for such a damage?
Thanks for any help :(
Jens
