Leisure drive last night was fun and enjoyable till I hit the accelerator hard; as the RPM rises then suddenly an audible chime and accompanied with “Anti-Pollution Fault” at MFD. Soon after, engine check light lit and the car losses its power and misfiring.
Stop by the roadside and quickly plugged in bluetooth OBD scanner to scan for any fault codes. Viola! Error P0351 appeared. Looks like ignition coil and misfiring on cylinder 1.
With only 3 cylinders and 1.5cc, I managed to bring her home in limping mode. Well, have to wait next day to attend the issue.
The chances to procure new unit is “slim” as this type of PSA engine was not marketed in my country. Importing it will take time to arrive and I desperately need it going as soon as possible. Thus, a used unit is the only way. Luckily, I managed to source a used replacement.
Disconnecting the ignition coil socket
Undo three bolts that secure the coil pack on to the engine
Spoiled unit on the left; replacement on the right
Part numbers
All in all, job done within 45 minutes including PSA Diagbox software to clear off the fault codes.
What the cost to change coil pack
The cost of the part is RM350 (used unit), cost to change is free coz DIY.
Hello. This happened to my car as well (207 sedan). Thanks for the info as with all your posts on this blog. May I know what bluetooth OBD scanner are you using and where can i get it, please. Thanks
Any generic bluetooth obd II reader can use. Will work with suitable app like Torque to read and delete fault code.
