Hello all,

Yesterday I was driving my Peugeot 206 1.1 S around all day with no problems, the car has always been great!

I parked it up and left it 30 mins, came back and the car would not run correctly. It was start but a really bad egg smell will come from the car, it will
Have no power and then eventually cut out.

Had to leave it over night and I'm going back to it now, any chance that you lot know what this could be? Because a garage tries to rip me off!

P.S had people say it could be the Lamba senser?

Many thanks!

Possibly the cats collapsed internally. Ive known them to cause an eggy type smell when they start falling apart.

Shut it u stupid little f**k, what's the point in posting in all my treads being such a c***? Least I can afford a gti180, and to get the cam belt done!

So apparently everyone knows my financial situation? If I wanted a 180 I would have bought a 180 simples Smile

The garage

2003 - 406 Coupé 2.2 HDi SE - Hyperion Blue

1999 - 306 GTi-6 - Blue (haven't worked out if it's Nile or China yet)
1987 - 205 GTi 1.9 - Graphite Gray

I must be mad.....

I thought that myself but it all seems intact- but that would not stop the car from running? Also I've just started it now and the whole car shakes when I put around 1k revs on it. Any other ideas?

The metal core inside will have broken down s d blocked the exhaust, meaning the exhaust gas cant escape causing a blockage which will cause the car to not run properly and cut out.

Yeah that could be it, right pain in the ass! Worse part is that it's left at a friends house 40 miles away and I do not have any cover with the AA etc... So I'm stuck on what to do next...

Is the cat in between the manifold and rad? If so, that section should be removable and the remnants of the cat can be removed with a steel bar and big 'ammer!

On 1.1 it should look like this: Unscrew either of those joints (whichever is easier), and either gut the innards of cat out, or just be able to reach home without any exhaust connected (with roaring noise and no backpressure, but should still be better than with a completely caked up exhaust without throughput)

Thanks all! Took a look and the CAT was intact, had it plugged in and it was the ignition coil and 4 spark plugs that was the issue. Got them changed and it runs sweet as it did before! Many thanks for the help
