OBD code

If you are checking coils or considering replacing them because of an injector code, you will be wasting your money.
Check number 2 injector, it will more than likely be open circuit and is a very common fault on peugeots.
Will require replacing, think the last one i bought was around £40 ish

I don't really do moderns (our youngest is '95 and diesel) but I was wondering about changing coils for an injector fault flagged. Then again, if people are going to drive round in computers...... :beer:

Very common on the 206 Peugeot Joe, surprised the OP didn't find it on google search and not uncommon for another to go down shortly afterwards.
Easy repair, unbolt fuel rail and lift of, replace injector and seals and refit.

EcoR1

But be aware Peugeot number the cylinders from the clutch end. It's quite easy to check the injector resistance, they normally give a clue to their imminent demise. Try measuring it hot and cold, they should be the same, no. 2 probably won't be.

Yeah, that's what I mean.

I can see people changing injectors for a flagged injector fault, but not coil packs. I can't see how any half-way sane management unit could show an injector fault if it was the coil pack going wrong.

Saying I "don't do moderns", I do do computers (just don't like mixing them with my cars) and any software that could get an error code that wrong really isn't fit for purpose

Seriously, just take the car to a mechanic. Mechanics can chase faults and find the culprits. Sure there are bad mechanics who just want to replace parts without spending time doing some investigative work. But a good mechanic will be able to find faults better.

OBD only shows you where the symptom of a problem has been detectced. The problem could be with the "symptom part" or it could be spurred on by a fault elsewhere.

I had so many lambda issues, so many intermitted faults etc. Turned out there was a crack in the exhaust and the intake manifold was caked in EGR tar which was affecting air intake.

I initially thought the same, but from a few forums I found from searching people mention it with that fault code, i'd presumed they were the pencil type ones that you get on Renaults, and therefore a very easy swap to see if the fault follows, taking a couple of minutes and costing nothing.
