  • Peugeot 306 Hdi - Throttle sensor circuit 2 fault, keeps coming back 20 May 2015 (Forum)
    but how can this be the fault if the fault somes back as soon as engaging a gear without touching the pedal, could it be something else??. Does the ECU do some kind of auto throttle when idling in gear to avoid stalling the car?  Could it be injection related? The car runs otherwise fine

    not quite right. Can you please suggest anything else I might need to do? Am I right in thinking the problem is with the MAF only, or might there also be a problem with the ECU? Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated

    the car forward far quicker than I intended. Yet on open roads in 4th gear and higher, the first quarter of the pedal travel is sensitive and much more consistent.   It feels like Volvo has tinkered with the ECU mapping to restrict torque in lower gears and at lower speeds, unless
  • Peugeot 207 - What should I do, 1 Oct 2013 (Forum)
    what's really going on, after a diagnostic check they say the ecu has 4 fualts (2 sensors, cold coils and a fault with the drive shaft) and that the turbos gone which would cost nearly 2000 alone to fix..   So it's well and truly goosed and I don't know what to do and don't what to continue

    it to my local non-Vauxhall garage to see if the could read the ECU error codes and point me in the right direction to where the fault might lie but they could only read the general codes. I checked the usual suspects listed in the Haynes manual and found nothing so I gave up. One thing I did

    . Then, after some head-scratching, they noticed that the signal cable connecting the engine to the Hybrid system (his words) had broken somehow. Replacing the cable fixed it, as the ECU could now talk to the "failed" motor and battery in question. He's wondering if the lease company

    on it, cleared the NATS light by removing & replacing a fuse, couldn't do anything about the PS. Said they were getting fault code U1001 out of the ECU.

    on the diagnostic. Does this part 6555.K9, static condenser suppressor have anything to do with earthing the coil pack?
