Hello everyone, I'm new to this site, joined because I have a problem with my car and I'm wondering if anyone can help me fix it.
A couple of weeks ago, I bought a 2007 Peugeot 206 Look 3 door 1.4 8 valve petrol (with a very high clutch biting point). I haven't had many problems with it thus far but I'm having an issue when starting it. When starting from cold, the engine cranks but will refuse to start unless the accelerator is pressed. This means that when it does start it revs a lot which over time will annoy the neighbours. When the engine is warm though it starts every time on the first try with no throttle, and it runs sweet as a nut. My 307 2.0 litre turbo diesel has never had any problems like this.
I've heard this can be a common problem with pug 206s and I've looked at forums and everybody says different things, and people contradict each other saying their methods of fixing the issue don't work. So, has anyone else experienced the same problem as me and have you been able to fix it? its done 86,000 miles so something probably is due replacing. its not a serious fault but it is annoying. Would a good service solve the issues or is it something more serious? Any help on the matter would be much appreciated.
