Hi folks,
2 years ago, I was driving my MILs car, a 1.4 NA petrol Peugeot 206. For the history, the car was before maintened often at some quick repair shops. Oil changes, timing belt...
I started doing maintenance on this car at 70000km, doing an oil change with a MANN filter and some 5W40 A3/B4 oil, and an air filter. drove the car regularly, more and more. Redlined sometimes, once a tank at least. then, oil and filter at 80000km, done spark plugs too. Car turned to be my daily driver then.
Around 90000km, I did another oil change (and filter), and this is where the bad things began (maybe). First, I used 5W30 C2 because I had some and the owners manual states that the engine can use it. Second, the oil filter cover was slightly damaged inside, maybe the bypass valve or something ? Third, maybe i was lugging the engine.
I Was driving smoothly on a light uphill, 3rd gear at 2000rpm, maybe half pressed gas pedal. The engine then lost power, shattered and stopped. From the beginning of the power loss, it took barely 10 seconds to stop. I tried to downshift and it was the end. When cranking using the starter, the engine couldn’t rotate anymore. I got the car pulled home.
Days later, i accidentally noticed that cranking with starter motor was possible but sounds like there’s no compression, i fought from broken timing belt. I didn’t investigate further, lack of time and motivation.
Now, I’m ready to start fixing it. Where do I start? Who wants to follow this journey?
