right..
definitely a technical question but not strictly clio related. however, still french query and i have a clio so hopefully that will do
girlfriends car.... Peugeot 106gti
"seemed" to have got damp on sunday as got about 12 miles into 44 miles journey and started misfiring.... we had all the fun of the AA coming out and being fecking useless.....
it to me looked like it was running like one of those things they use to hammer tarmac flat... thats how rough it was running.....
AA couldnt fix it and suggested a distributor problem...
got the car taken to a bloke i can trust with cars..
he changed the plugs and cleaned / dried all that could be dried and pointed out a cracked cover in the distributor / plugs area (possible damp entry point).... and also pointed out a metallic rattling noise on startup...
he said maybe the CAT / something in / on the exhaust... anyway... car was running ok this evening so the other half headed across to the garage we bought it from as they are doing any work that needs doing under warranty...
she got about 15 miles and the rattling suddenly got louder and this coincided with the misfiring / labouring of the engine to the point she had to leave it on the site but not in a parking space (in true "there you go, you sort it style" she left it a roadway that leads to the actual workshop)
now until sunday evening, its been fine... never not startedn first turn, never run rough....
now the question is.. could this be something to do with the cat ??? like its knackered and is obstructing the exhaust flow ??? could a sensor be knackered ??? i dont know about these things so am open to suggestions......
id like to be armed with some possible suggestions for tomorrow so i dont get fed any bull over this..
cheers in advance
