Peugeot/citroen cars that are equipped with the 1.6/1.4 THP engine turbo or are normally aspirated are also a cause for concern. We are finding many problems relating to cooling fans are actually the result of misfire due to poor maintenance. A state of emergency is declared by the engine control unit (ECU) upon measuring a huge amount of knock and misfire. Often the fan doesn’t even want to switch off after ignition off and the battery has to be disconnected. However the solution is fairly simple, and indeed inspecting the spark plugs usually reveals that problem. The real issue is the length of service intervals and when the vehicle does go in for service, because of the very high cost of the plugs and the reluctance to include the cost within a “cheap serviceâ€, they end up staying in the vehicle forever! Full service history means nothing these days unless it is carried out by people who care and understand the vehicles they work on.
