I have no button on my ignition key and the spare key i got cut wont
start the engine.it sounds like it wants to start but doesnt,gotta
check for sure weather it has imobaliser i wouldnt of thought so if i
have no button on the key,i dont know!
thanks all

Dan,
 
When you say your car had 2 standard keys do you mean it had 2 Peugeot keyfobs
but without any buttons or 2 metal keys (i.e. all metal, no plastic &
definitely no chip inside)?
 
I don't think a keyfob without any buttons would rule out the car having an
immobiliser because I believe they are transponder type systems. i.e. the car's
ignition would just "detect" that a key with the correctly coded chip has
been inserted and allow the car to be started.

that's a bit weird, because i had a 306 miami, of the same age, and i'm
pretty sure it didn't have any alarm/immobiliser on it. it had 2 standard
keys with no button, as it had no c/locking. i had to install a kit of my
own (from ebay!).
however jay, if you have a key with a chip on it, then that may suggest
that, as stuart said, it has an immobiliser. does the new key turn in the
ignition but the engine doesn't fire, or does it simply not turn? also,
when you successfully start it with the other key, do you have to press the
button on it first? if so, it does have an immobiliser.
stuart, the miami, it seems, was the extremely cut down version. one of the
first phase 2 versions out, or certainly one of the cheaper ones, lacking
every bit of technology you could ever expect in a car, usually as
standard! i was quite disappointed actually :(

Hi Dan,
 
Glad you're having some success.
 
Are you absolutely sure your car doesn't have an immobiliser? I did think all
306's had immobilisers and your car is certainly newer than mine which did. You
are not mistaking the lack of a little keypad in the center console as
indicating you don't have one are you? The keypad was only used initially but
soon got dropped. The fact that your "normal" key didn't start the engine
suggests your car does have one.

I got a normal key cut which does open all

suppose it will save the wear & tear on the

the ticking noise i experienced when i first

Like you say, in that case, I'd risk just getting a new key cut. I think it
should work.

it's true. although they did ship the 306's with one key with a chip,
and one without. basically, the key without the chip won't be able to
disarm the alarm or unlock the car's central locking. and if it has an
immobiliser, it won't be able to switch that off either. the "dumb" key
is basically for emergencies (and on some models, the boot key is
different to the main car key..i've no idea why).

Hi
does anyone have any advise on this,i tried to get a spare
key cut today for my 306 but was told it would
cost around £20-25 because i need a key with a chip in it,
is this right?The guy in the key shop (who owns a 406)
told me if i was to get an ordanary copied key it would
not work.never ever had a problem before to get a spare
key cut for any of my other cars...
thanks

yea stuart you are correct without
the indicators being used,
ok il try that batterie check
thanks a lot
jay

Hi Jay,

The indicators do not actually flash when you hear
this ticking noise right? If not, my recommendation is
to get the battery tested. See
http://www.stuartdalby.co.uk/peugeot306/306maintenance.php#battery
for more details.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get on,
Stuart

but all indacators are working ok
thanks
jay

thanks for that fast reply stuart,
it gives me more in-sight,ya didnt say anything
too bad about them so thats cool
jay

i used to have one of these. in fact, exact year and model too.
the miami is the bare-minimum 306, so there's no alarm, central locking,
et al. i didn't have any noteable faults with it, except when i found
out about it's lack of ABS. this was only after i'd managed to write it
off, however. it did have power steering, which was a plus i guess.

If the rear wheel clearance is noticably less than the front when
parked on the level then yes, you've got a suspension problem
somewhere. Just get it checked out, or to test if it is your shocks
then push down hard on the back of the car and let go, if the car takes
a while to settle itself then probably the shocks are gone.

Not sure why you would want to, but no it's not a straightforward thing
to do, virtually everything including wiring and fuel systems would
need to be changed and would cost a fortune.

known as a rearstat. this is a resistor that controls the fan
speeds. this is easy to replace and you will find it very close to
the fan motor if you look at the wiring loom to the fan you will
notice that a couple of wires go to another plug usualy in the
heater control box unplug the switch the resistor is usualy held in
by a couple of 8mm bolts then just remove and replace. as for your
clock that will be the bulb gentley pull the plastic cover of
(gentle finger pressure) this will reveal the clock there will be 2
torx screws remove these and the clock housing can be removed the
bulb is in the back. i hope this helps

yes clean the throttle body, take special care around the butterfly,
the reason it nearly stalls is lack of air,

my beloved 306 is playing up once the car has warmed up and you come
up to a junction or roundabout and you put your foot down it goes to
stall then the revs come back up. being a mechanic this fault is
becoming frustrating. i have replaced the map sensor, crankshaft

i can't say so much for the fans, but the light behind the clock is a
common thing. it's a simple bulb replacement. pop the panel out, get the
bulb out of the socket, take it down to halfords or someplace, they'll
have a replacement. no more than a few quid.

Hi

Hope someone can offer help? The nternal fan will not work at any
position and although there is ai moving through there is no heat, just
cold air forced through by the vehicles motion. This plus the clock
ain't lighting up.

I have checked the fan switch to no avail. Have checked all the fuses
and they are all A1 (both engine and interior). There is a couple of
spaces for relays, 1 in the engine fuse box and 1 in the onterior.

As much info as I can give.

Any help appreciated.

Alan

Thanks, alarm all reset. For info the correct reset seems to be key
to on position then press and hold button on column for 5 secs or so.
Indicators flash rapidly and bingo!

Hi

Seems a common problem from what I've read, try:

www.peugeotlogic.com/fuses/fuses306/fuselist7.htm

Couldn't find it when I looked under fuses on search but type in relay
and up it pops! Only problem is I WAS looking for info on relays as I
suspect one of mine is missing!!!

If anyone can shed light on the green relay that sits bottom left of
fuse board (internal) Mine ain't there and I have no speedo, fans or
heating! Strongly suspect related but who knows????

Cheers

Alan

It's a long time now since I owned my 306 but your problems sound
familiar.

1) Sounds like the speedo sensor which I believe is located on the
gearbox housing has failed. Mine used to fail intermittently but when
I heard where the sensor was (on the gearbox facing the bulkhead) I
decided to ignore it.

2) I know that my car's fan didn't work in the highest position when
I was looking to buy my 306. The dealer replaced the switch for me
and that fixed it. Might be worth you by-passing the switch to see if
that's the problem.

3) Whilst you've been "doing something" you've probably triggered the
alarm. The siren units often fail (because they are located above the
nearside front wheel arch liner and so water quickly gets in). I
can't quite remember how you reset the alarm - I think it involves
pressing that little button on the righthand side of the steering
column within about 15 seconds of opening the car and turning on the
ignition. (Worth searching the messages here because I think it's
been mentioned in the last year).

That's all I can remember. Let us know how you get on,
