My wife said her car was sluggish when cold especially in first & second
gear. I hade a drive in it and agreed with her, and also noticed a slight
sound similar to a pinhole in a manifold. My wife took it to a Peugeot
dealer and the mechanic that road tested it said it is probably the
gearbox!
He said they could put it on a diagnostic machine for the engine, but if
this did not show anything they would have to strip the gearbox. I phoned
a
friend (good catchphrase) and he said what a load of C*** If it were the
gearbox it would be making horrendous noises and not mysteriously robbing
power.
He said it is more likely injection, waste gate or turbo. I am going to
let
him have a go in it at the weekend. Anyone got any ideas?
