engine temp sensor is part of your exhaust.

there should be one in the engine compartment screwed in to the exhaust manifold and there there should be at least one more under your care on the exhaust pipe near the catalytic converter. some vehicles also have one near the back of the car past the converter to record exhaust readings but this is usually for trucks and larger vehicles like SUV's and vans. if you are having an issue with your sensor connect a code reader to your car and pull up the error code to find out which sensor is faulty. you should be able to look online for details on which code reference to which sensor, and then just buy a new sensor and replace. advise not trying to clean the sensor as the cost versus possible damage you can cause is worth just getting a new sensor.

tp remove it usualy takes a flat head screw driver to pop off the electrical connector and a wrench to unscrew the sensor from the exhaust. simple procedure with a ending of self satisfaction on not paying 200 $ to have someone to spend 15 minutes to turn a wrench on your car.

Try checking the flywheel, usually if there is alot of noise from the transmission it is not the actual transmission. This can happen due to wear on the flywheel, or just the bolts simply coming loose. If after you check it you can't find the problem let me know and I will do my best to help.

if you look on the steering column thete is a square button you need to get in the car with the door shut, press this button while switching the ignition on, this will turn the flashing lights off

Hello, I have a manual for a 306 but what year do you own?

ALL RELAYS ARE NEXT TO BATTERY FUSE BOX

check f/uses/ relay wiper switch

This is most likely an oil sensor or oil pump going out. It could be the water pump but I would look at the oil pump if the level is good.

The position and function of the fuses is normally marked on the inside of the fuse box cover and also in the owner's handbook. If you are looking for a blown fuse, work your way through the fuses looking for a blown one. It is not difficult.

In cooling system is air, Is the coolant leak befor over heating?

hi this is common problem if you can slacken the handbrake cable this will prevent the shoes from becoming caught against the lipped edge that has worn your brake drum down and is catching on the edge of the brake shoe you may need to by a brake backplate spring kit as they tend to fall apart when taking the drum off undo the fixing center nut and refit the wheel now you have the wheel fitted to the drum you stand more chance of pulling the drum and wheel together from side to side it will evenually loosen turn the wheel at the same time and slowly screw the the whole wheel drum assembly off when you get the drum off lightly grind off the worn lipped edge so the drum can be taken on and off more easily

try a local hardware shop thats where i buy a lot of my wire in rolls as its cheaper than the auto factor

the most obvious thing you can do is check for things like the air filter needing replacement, the MAP sensor needing a good cleaning, or high fuel pressure-your regulator may be leaking and you can check this by removing the vacuum hose that goes to it and see if there is fuel in the hose itself. You might do a good cleaning of the throttle body also, and inspect the plugs and plug wires if it is running poorly.

you have either a fauly starter motor or the wire from the ignition switch to the starter is faulty (this is the thin wire that goes to the back of the starter)

the heater motor on the 205 is located behind the glove box

check the coolant level mate if this is ok then you probably have a relay fault.
these are located next to the cooling fan behind bumper and are prone to play up calling all sortsof problems.
you will need to replace both the relays and the plugs.

let me know if this helps
