Peugeot 306 2.0L HDI - HELP!!! Loss of power - danny2011
I've just bought my Peugeot and it seemed to be in some sort of limp mode so I tried a process of elimination so change injector seals and changed the mass air flow and it come out of limp mode but still seem to be lacking power as ive had one before. I give it a run out and still nothing just really numb! Can any1 help

You say you 'just' bought it - how long ago and privately or from a dealer? If recently from a dealer, they should have repaired it, surely?

Then it isn't fine at all! There are a lot of threads about broken crankshaft pulleys for this type of engine. Maybe one of them may be relevant. If the timing belt has jumped a couple of teeth that would cause some smoking and loss of power.
