Does anyone have a picture of what warning lights are lit up during key turn & starting on a 2001 Puma with digital dash? Or a video, better yet? Just want to see what your dashboard looks like to compare to mine! I'm trying to figure out if some of my bulbs are broken (and by extension if my...

Just wondering, seen plenty of threads about completely dead Pumas but little about them appearing not to fire up when turning over! :D Mine's done this before on rare occasions, months in between, but it's done it twice in the last two weeks... Took me several minutes to get it started this...

Christ, I'm having so many problems with this car :D anyway yeah, my air con was dead today and I was dying myself, driving around without it. Need help! Symptoms: heater set to cold, fan on, press air con, button lights up, engine RPM increases slightly (!!) but compressor doesn't appear to...

Hey all - I've been fighting an issue with my 1.7l Puma which I can't seem to fully diagnose. In short, the car idles fine and drives fine, except at ~1500-2000RPM one or more cylinders will often just refuse to fire under acceleration. It can be either one or two "puffs" or a whole string of...

Anyone know what might cause a stiff brake pedal? Seems to be little about it (relevant to Pumas) on the net... Brakes seem to work great, it's just the pedal needs a lot of force. I've gotten used to it really, but I drove the girlfriend's 206 the other day and I swear I nearly flipped the...

I'm taking a crappy aftermarket filter off and going back to stock - but I can't find the screws to mount the MAF to the air box. There are two screws which fit into the plastic housing, I believe. Since it's plastic, would any old self-tapping screws work? To borrow an image from another...

Just wanted to get an idea of what 'load' the gearbox should put on the engine. It seems on my puma that it may be a little 'stiff' or 'sticky'. For example when idling the engine RPM will drop slightly when the clutch is engaged (gearbox in neutral). This initially didn't bother me, it's a...

Want to change the injectors with fresh ones (these ones have done quite a few miles now). Just wondering what I might be getting into in terms of how to go about changing them. Do you remove the whole injector rail first, then swap them out one by one? That is the impression I am getting from...

I've been examining the output from the O2 sensors on my Puma (there are two), just want to get an idea if they're correct. My equipment (a cheap bluetooth OBD reader and Torque for Android) reports four voltages for the O2 sensors. There appears to be bank 1, sensor 1 & 2, and bank 2, sensor 1...

Hey all, just wondering what could produce exhaust smells in the cabin. If I'm joining a motorway or something and floor it (allowing higher revs, say ~5-6k) then what I would describe as a blend of exhaust/petrol wafts into the car. I am a little apprehensive, seeing as my last car burst into...
