Peugeot 206 Fast Idle Fix

Peugeot 206 Fast Idle Fix

This 2005 Peugeot 206 1.1 is a car my sister was driving until August last year when the timing belt snapped. As she works as a nurse a replacement car was sourced and the 206 was brought to my yard to be fixed when I had the time. Between other projects and work on the shed to install the lift it was about a year before I got round to the job of sourcing a replacement engine, at £70 a replacement engine seemed handier than messing about getting the head skimmed and any damaged valves replaced.

As a result of the car sitting for about a year, I think the injector seals and inlet manifold seals went hard, possibly the replacement engine wherever it had sat developed some aluminum oxide where the sealing was required. This caused a vacuum leak which resulted in the high idle.

The repair was quite cheap, simply remove the injectors and inlet manifold. Clean up the area, fit new seals and reassemble. The fixed​ cost under £15 which was a lot more palatable than some suggestions such as the ECU and various sensors.

Couldn't you of just bodged it up for a while, by sticking some tape around the inlet manifold to seal the leak until you had time to fix it properly.

for prevention аnd may be for repair, you can pour the cuffs with used oil, they swell and will not suck air.
