Peugeot 206 struggling engine
Variant: 1.6 xsi
Model Year: 2001
Categories:
Engine & Drivetrain
Every so often, more so now often my car engine feels like its really struggling. I could pull out of a junction and it just creeps out then randomly picks up normal speed.
At first i thought this could be the car needing oil so i put oil in, however a day after and the same problem.
A friend mentioned it could be the spark plugs need replacing. How likely is this and if so how would i find out the spark plugs for my car

Could be plugs , could be coil pack , very common . Other possible causes also . Any motor factor or accessory shop will supply correct plugs for car .

Hi there, thanks for the response.
I'll try the spark plugs first, if it proves not to be the sparks is it expensive to replace the coil pack and if not, is it something i could do myself or would i need to take it to a garage.
Thanks again.

You have got to remove coil pack to get at plugs . Usually plenty on E-bay or try local motor factor .

Great stuff, one other thing. Are sparks easy to replace as in would I need to have any specific tools or is it jsut a case of taking the coil pack of and then unscrewing the plugs and screwing in the new ones ?

Hi the coil pack is held in place with 2 or 3 bolts and one conector at one end very easy job and no special tools.The plugs are different you will need a spark plug socket,you can buy these at any motor factors with your plugs.

I am having the same problem. Peugoet have changed plugs and coils with no improvement. I am reluctant to keep throwing money at them, you mentioned other solutions in your post...could you expand on them?
