Sounds like a fuel issue. You probably clogged the line when you 'fixed' it. Glow plugs wouldn't just go bad all of a sudden (and would make the vehicle difficult to start more than anything else) so it's definitely an issue of fuel not getting to the engine properly.TheEternalPessimist wrote:
Right, so, my car decided to die on me on Christmas eve (FML), figured i may as well ask you knowledgeable lot if you might know what's up with it before I roll it down to my cousins place tomorrow for a mess about. (FYI it's a Peugeot 206 1.9l diesel)
Basically it sounds rough as fuck even when it's sat still in neutral, try to pull away and it stalls unless you seriously fucking floor the gas and really gently let the clutch up, go any more than half way up with the clutch and it'll stall.
So to summarise, engine sounds rough as nails and it's massively down on power, my thinking is dead glow plug(s), piddly little diesel engine running on 3 cylinders would (I imagine) be noisy and powerless but, I know fuck all about cars
It had a small fuel leak a few days ago in the return fuel line, tiny job to fix but, it's making me consider the fuel lines as a possible culprit for problems too.
That's about the gist of it, I'd say merry Christmas but, obviously given my car's state, there is no god so Christmas is canceled
