Omega General Help / Re: Hesitation, withdrawal and backfire 2.0 16v

« on: 31 May 2013, 07:25:11 »

I am on my way to do a paperclip test but before that I just feel obligated to help those who are trying to help me by saying what I did check on the car. There is no oil in the spark plug holes (altho there are indicators that there used to be oil), spark plugs are new, mass air flow sensor has been carefully cleaned and air filter has been replaced.

Yeah, temperature gauge doesn't work so I did a little snooping with a mirror and a flashlight on the back of the engine and found out that there is a roung connector on top of the EGR valve, with a 3 tiny holes on it that just hangs around freely. I thought it should be plugged in somewhere but I couldn't find an appropriate place to plug it in...

Any thoughts?
thanks in advance

Can you show us a pic of the connector on top of the EGR valve?

General Car Chat / Re: Peugeot 206 brakes .......

« on: 30 May 2013, 23:43:43 »

The handbrake on SWMBOs 206 is almost vertical before it holds. Ok, slight exaggeration, but you know what I mean. I'm presuming it's not simply a case of tightening again, but before I go looking for something that's not there, are there 'tensioners' or something similar at the wheel end which may need replaced?
Any advice gratefully received. It's a 1.1S, 2004.
TIA

Ya you are quite right on this matter. I fully agree with you..
