Juddering Problem

Hi
GF has a problem with her 206 1.4 (petrol). Whilst accelerating the car
hesitates and there generally appears to be a loss of power.

My thoughts are that it is fuel related, maybe some crud in an injector, but
not knowing an awful lot about this particular engine I was hoping that
someone could advise if there could be any other *known* problems.

Things I am planning to try are - disconnect the battery for 30 mins to see
if an ECU reset will work, if not I was going to throw a bottle of injector
cleaner at it!

Any other ideas?

 

I think yours is not a wise idea.

 

When I had my 206 it had a known problem with the coil, this was
replaced under the warranty. The others here may tell you whether this
would fix your problem.

Other than that, how about checking the spark plugs? I'm no expert of
course.

Thanks Snoop, sadly well out of warranty but your mention of the coil pack
is bringing back memories of earlier posts.
