Good Day , i hope you can help me, first of all i have absolutely no knoowledge of cars, i have a 2001 pegeout 206cc 2liter. so the problem is simple i hope, my air con goes on fine all lights show etc but it doesnt blow anything, i have checked fuses and all seem to be perfect, i cant find anything online showing me where i need to get my hands dirty to fix the issue, what could the problem be? the main fan by the radiater hhas that little fuse with a grid typr thing around it which i assume controls the level of the blower that also works fine, and its located in the front grid exsposed to everything like water dirt etc, the main issue is it does not blow, and when i turn it on i can hear some sort of click sound, also i dont know where to check the gas? if there is no refridgent gas will the blower still work? does anyone know what i can do or just give me a few steps to try, thank you Luke

Has it been serviced recently if not I would suggest this first. Also if its running too rich, could be the EGO (lambda) sensor, although I would have thought running a diagnostic would flag this if it was.

maybe the motor has gone.

Losing water, you mean coolant right? If so and you have had the cooling system pressure tested and no leaks are present on the outside of the engine then you most likely have a leaking cylinder head gasket.

would need to read it to know the problem ,you havent stated if its a petrol or diesel ?

Spray a carb cleaner on it and work by hand for starters.

Gas or diesel?

I don't think you can on that model. Alot of JDM does not support ENGLISH. even if you do the navigation may not be usable or up datable for outside Japan and if you are in N. America the radio station stepping is different. Probably be easier to replace with a unti designed for your market and sell that unit back to someone in japan.

You Peugeot dealer can supply the code based on the VIN number of your car. Each car is different hence you wont be able to find one on the internet. You may need to visit them to prove you own the car, and they may charge a small fee, but many will provide it for nothing. Then write it down for next time.

Crankshaft position sensor bad.

From outside or inside?

34 PSI

What does this sensor do because I can find no reference to such a part.

Defective radio.

Most likely near the thermostat if it has one, but also they can be located on the cylinder head.

About $300 US

spark or fuel problem with motor needs a service first if no better needs more investigation under the hood

Economy mode usually comes on when the computer senses a low charge on the battery and conserves power to start the vehicle. 1. If you can start the car by jump starting from another vehicle with its engine running then you know your battery is the problem. In some cases when you completely drain a battery you have issues with them ever after until they fail completely.2. If you cannot jump start from another vehicle then turn everything off and disconnect the negative and then the positive lead on the battery terminals and leave it for 10 minutes. Then connect it back up again (positive lead first and then negative lead last) and put the key in the ignition and turn on the ignition but do not start the car. Leave it there for 5 minutes and then turn the ignition it off. Then try starting again.3. You have not mentioned if there are any other warning lights being displayed on the dash which you have not mentioned in your question. Please check this carefully because it is also relevant to this problem if there are other warning lights displayed.

That means the battery in your remote key fob is almost dead.

It does not matter because the engine can run on either and if you need to top up the oil level you can use either as you can mix the oils. If changing the oil use full synthetic. Preferably only use fully synthetic and only use the grade specified by the manufacturer. There are various oils of the same grade formulated for different engines so check before buying and only use the one suitable for the Renault engine in your car. The important issue with your engine oil is to have it changed regularly. Whatever the manufacturer states as the change interval (such as every 10000) half it and do it at 5000. Manufacturer recommended change intervals assume absolutely ideal operating conditions for the engine which few owners will ever run there cars at. Most owners are running there cars in severe conditions with lots of cold starts, short runs, stop /start in traffic and so on. These are sever conditions for engine lubrication, the oil deteriorates faster, is more contaminated and needs to be changed more frequently.
