Hi
We have a diesel Peugeot 406 and intermitently it will revs the engine. It makes you sound like a boy racer. It's pretty annoying. You can drive it say 6 times and it's fine and then you take the car out it starts revving - if you are out of town then if you just keep gently driving it it suddenly stops. It does it mostly around town.
Has anyone got any ideas why it would do it?
