306 rev-counter

[trem1]

My daughters 306 1.4 petrol has a few gremlins that need sorting so im after help/advice on where to start looking as we dont have a manual/wiring diagram for it.
this particular issue is with the rev-counter which only works sometimes.
Any idea's what is the cause of this and more importantly how to solve it

Not sure about pugs, but many cars use a feed off the alternator.

apparently the 306's dont take their revs from the alternator. it is suppose to get the revs from a sensor in the bellhousing...well thats what these guys are saying:

My Peugeot 306 revcounter doesn't work.

cheers john but they all appear to be Diesel's, would petrol engine work the same way ??

i would say so, your best bet to confirm this is to ask davidireland i bet he will tell you exactly where the problem is and how to fix

yea hopefully david will pick up on this and give an answer, cheers anyway. dont suppose you got any thoughts on the central locking issue have you ??



306 central locking

[john_h]

give him a pm and will have a ganders at the central locking.

sensor in the bellhousing has got to be crank position sensor, which would make sense. It'll pick up a signal from the flywheel so that's the area you need to look in.Will be a simple magnetic sensor with 1 / 2 wires to it and a couple of little bolts.

That sounds about right. My brother bought a 306 with an intermittent rev counter. We thought it might be some kind of cable like the speedo but it was a sensor.
