swordfish210 20 Posted December 17, 2009 Hi, i was taking my 205 for a drive tonight and i noticed it was holding back a bit and when i pulled up to a junction and lifted off the throttle it slowed down much more rapidly than i would expect it to do. I then got it back to my house and went to pull in to my garage and the car held itself on the slope without the handbrake and it took a lot of effort to pull away from a standstill. I felt the temperature of all the wheels and the rear right was a bit hotter than all the rest so i think it's that one sticking on. I also noticed that the brake pedal was very hard to press down, as if the servo wasn't working, although the brakes were still working fine Any ideas?

welshpug 1,645 Posted December 17, 2009 might be sticky sliders, handbrake mechanism, or a sticky piston or a seized handbrake cable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swordfish210 20 Posted December 17, 2009 Yeah i was going to investigate all of them tomorrow, or when i get the chance. Would any of them have caused the hard pedal though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swordfish210 20 Posted December 18, 2009 Well this seems to have fixed it's self over night as i jumped in it this morning and fired it up and the pedal was fine and it moved without effort Peugeots are crazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miamichris 9 Posted December 18, 2009 those are the best fixes! For about 6 months my xs only had fast speed on the wipers and I finally got fed up with it and was going to order a new intermittent wiper relay, when I got into the car to head to peugeot they just started working fine and have done ever since! I think the 205 sensed my anger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
