I had that problem when turning. Finally found the cause to be a damaged carburetor float which caused flooding under lateral acceleration.

Did you reset computer if yes likely a bad sensor

Hi, If the clock is on top of the centre dash, the panel holding it in just clips out with a gentle tug upwards. There is a couple of screws holding the clock in and then you will see the bulb holders in the rear of the clock. Any auto centre should stock the bulbs, They just turn half a turn to come out.Jon.

The reason for the high biting point is simple. The clutch is made of 3 main components.
The pressure plate friction plate and the release bearing.
The more times clutch is depressed the concentric spring fingers wear in 2 ways . Firstly by good old metal to metal rubbing and secondly the concentric spring fingers don't return as far as a new one causing the release bearing or csc to adjust .
When the pressure plate concentric spring gingers wear they don't sit proud and require more pedal effort to depress. .
When they loose there spring like feature they require a greater distance from the release bearing. Or it has to travel further to depress them to lift The pressure plate and fee the friction plate from the lay shaft on which it is splined onto to give you drive once released.
The further back the bearing has to travel to allow the fingers to clamp the pressure plate to the friction plate . The more the clutch has become worn and unserviceable.
Self adjustment on hydraulic clutches are a hard one to gauge as you have no idea how far the piston has moved out to compensate for this wear . With a cable you can physically see the wear and adjust .
High biting points on any car are useless. You want a biting point to be 2 to 3 inches from the top and not nearly level with the brake pedal.
Anyway it seems apparent that Peugeot and Citroen both have high to almost no point at which they bite .
I myself would modify this as an engineer.
But it seems to be normal on these cats to have absolutely no biting point worth talking about.
My sisters 2012 206 1.4 is a very high biting point and I myself would not be happy with it . It gives u no indication of a worn clutch if its self adjusting.
Alll hydraulic clutches are self adjusting. So why are Peugeot and Citroens sooo high. Its ridiculous.
A very idiotic idea and I'm taking it back with her and I'm complaining. Hopefully I should get somewhere and ill update you all

If it has an uprated turbo the turbo timer runs until it gets to a set temp or length of time

run the fault codes and look for a problem torque converter clutch solenoid / servo check for TCM fault

you would need to open the unit, and remove the outer top of the cd player and you should be able to remove disc, must only be done when the power is disconected

There s/b a finite resistance between pins 1 and 2. Even if this is so, the sensor can still be defective. I suggest that, if the dipstick shows full, and you're getting a Low Oil message, merely replace the sensor. It's a known, but rare, failure. You'll need to drain the oil, and replace the O-ring. Continuity is used to check that a circuit is continuous, and not broken. It does not measure resistance. Example: an electrical fuse to see if it is truly blown. Resistance is a measure of the impeding of current flow. In the case of the level sensor, the resistance element heats the sensor. Diode test is to determine if a diode is defective; one polarity actually measures the junction voltage, and the other polarity shows nothing, which indicates that the diode is working.

Hand brake is not working properly or you did not raise it high enough. That is why you always need to turn your front wheels into the curb when parked on a hill, so if your brakes fail the car will be stopped by the curb.

it could be the ABS system, the proportioning valve in the brake system, low fluid in the reservoir. run the fault codes to find the reason.

You have a bad short. Go back over what you did and check for pinched wires, or wires rubbing to metal. GOOD LUCK FRIEND.

Type your problem in on google.com

before you spend money ( and you have doubts) get a second opinion and run the fault codes . There is a problem in that the thermostat has nothing to do with the ECM ( computer box) all it does is control the water temperature in the cooling system by opening and closing according to the coolant temperature water temperature sensors send signals to the ECM so that the ECM can adjust the air/fuel mixture according to the engine temperature . Talk around as it may save you heaps of cash.

This won't be a whole lot of help to you but modern CanBus cars are very fussy about their electrics and unless you're an expert at fitting towbar electrics yourself you'll need to find a company that is. If you already have the harness, socket and bar, then an auto-electrician should charge you a lot less than £100 to sort it for you.

This seems like a drive ability fault, clutch is slipping may need to replace. If auto gearbox you will have to repair or replase.

You will have a speed sensor in the transmission that is not working

Check in car owners book. john kannas

look on youtube, your code might be in your manual alway write it down somewhere
