hi lads well basically just bought a 206 and just got it through mot ect brought it home today and just went to go in it and when i turn the key its idling at 4000rpm and wont stop and tried driving it but it didnt stop just pulls you along and acclerates by itsself any ideas cheers oo also the temp gauge went straight into the red so turned it off and checked the water when it cooled down its been filled way above the max and there a big puddle of water on the floor

yep its fucked,not having much luck at the min you kid

lol its not mine mate i bought it for my mother only payed Ł200 so im not that bothered she payed the mot tax ect, so is it defo fooked you reckon

its french so it will probably have any number of problems! pugs, renaults and citreons keep my auto electrician in business, his unit is all ways rammed full of them with all manner of issues lol

it could be a sensor fault or ecu fault thats causing it try and get it plugged into a diagnostic to see if it pulls anything up?!

jamie's

check for an air leak around the inlet manifold,
thats the usual fault for such a high idle,
they're bad for map sensor popping out(left side of the throttle body)
as for the overheating?
impossible to say without seeing it but could be bad mate,
and if its been overfilled its prob been losing water for a while

Wank cars IMO,alright for Ł200 though.I'd guess water in the footwell would be blown heater matrix,could always short the pipes to prove it.as for high idle,either stuck throttlebody/cable,leaky manifold or dodgy sensor.

Shove it on the bay mate,worth a lot more in bits or to someone else and get something tidy like a Corsa,polo mk4 or a nice mk4/5 fiesta,much more reliable.

heater matrix is realy easy on these
no need to take the dash out or anything,
remove glove box and the matrix can slide out the side of the heater box
tight but it goes, only 30 odd quid for a new 1, done 1 just last week

Sounds like it could be the stepper motor stuck, when these cars are jump started it sometimes messes them about. Happened to one if my car sales recently.

The ONLY thing that can increase engine speed is air and so either the throttle is jammed (Very unlikely) More likely to be the ISCV being told to open this much or jammed, only other possibility is you have an air leak, an engine with no load only needs the slightest bit of air to make a bid difference. Try unplugging ISCV to see what difference it makes, it should stall.

As to the overheating the coolant can't be circulating and if it's inside in the footwell then as said must be matrix leaking.

sorry when i said on the floor i didnt mean the footwell i meant to ground underneath the car lol,i thought iscv tbh but dont no where it is on these to unplug lol

In that case check hoses, rad etc, re ISCV look around the throttle body area, inlet manifold exception being is remote mounted ones.

thats strange mate becasue i had to use the booster pack on this tonight and when it fired up it was practically redlining lol so is it just a case of trying it without jumping it or will i need to replace something

P 17eed

Try unplugging it with the engine running otherwise take it out and extend the plunger a bit. It should adjust with the ignition turned on. Pretty common to happen, just shocks it when jump started.

cheers mate that would be great

P 17eed

Sorry been really busy today so couldnt get a pic but it should look like this and be on the inlet manifold

Get some easy-start and spray it around the inlet manifold gasket/vaccuum pipes etc. When the engine note changes (it'll probably go up so have someone on the key) you've found the leak.
