Hey, we're all in the same boat here, aren't we? I paid €95 for the repair of the wiring harness back then. That was a bit of a hole in the wallet, but what you won't do for your little runabout. Since the visit to the mechanic, the problem with the defective mass air flow sensor has been solved. And no, I haven't noticed any further problems with my car since then. It's running like a kitten again. I hope everything works out just as well for you! Good luck with that!

That sounds relieving. 95 € is a fair price when I consider that my beloved 106 will be running smoothly again! Your story about your mechanic really gives me hope. Thank you for your helpful information. I will then take my car to my garage and hope for the best. Thanks again and keep taking good care of your little Peugeot! See you then!

I know the problem! I had similar complaints with my older model, the Peugeot 106 from 1998. Damage to the wiring harness was the cause. Yes, it really was quite a challenge. During the last visit to the workshop, the wiring harness was repaired as a whole, there was probably a short circuit somewhere. It wasn't an easy task and it took time to check and repair every single wire. Once the wiring harness problem was fixed, the car ran like clockwork again. But don't worry, it's not an impossible task. The guy at the garage said he's had this happen before, you just have to be thorough. Good luck and hopefully your little one will be fit again soon!
