Peugeot 406 2001 automatic transmission problem

I have a Peugeot 406 year 2001, familiale(SW). The car has a problem in the automatic transmission. Every morning, when I leave to work, after a couple of miles the transmission skips the gear and goes to a "SAFETY MODE" state. The leds for snow and sport start flashing. I turn of the engine and turn it on again and the transmission goes back to normal. This happens up to three times in a row. After that it does not happen again until the end of the day, after some 8 hours on the parking lot.
Wat is wrong? Can somebody give me some tips to fiz this problem?
Thanks

Peugeot 206 1.4 HDI Power Loss

My son has a Peugeot 206 1.4 HDI which has suddenly begun to lose power, particularly when going up hills. There are no warning lights showing and nobody seems to have a clue as to the cause. The mas airflow sensor has been replaced today but has not resulted in any improvement. If the airflow sensor is disconnected, the performance improves. A few weeks ago the engine coolant needed topping up and has needed more since, if this has any relevance. You can contact my son directly on andy_h91@hot,mail.com

I am with a similar problem...

After putting on a new sump i found that the starter motor would work cranking the engine but no power is going to the glow plugs. The light on the dash does not appear either.

The relay for the coils does click but that is the end of it. I have a suspission it is the imobiliser but after taking the battery on and off several times to reset... still nothing.

There is fuel, good battery (fully charged), fuel lines are clean pressurised...

Any ideas???

Random Overheating Problem on Peugeot 206

1998 1.4 Peugeot 206 LX

My car is overheating at random. This weekend it overheated travelling only 5 minutes down the road. An hour later i tried it again and it was fine. The oil and water levels seem ok. Any ideas?

It sounds like your thermostat has gone bad and sticking close, Replace the Thermostat and Antifreeze. When replacing the thermostat, buy a fail safe thermostat so you will not have a overheating problem when the thermostat fails. Good luck and hope this helps. Keep me posted, be glad to help.

Peugeot 106 1.0 litre, temperature warning light

Peugeot 106 1.0 litre, temperature warning light on dash comes on one or two minutes after starting engine, sometimes stays on or intermittently goes off and on whilst driving. Also the radiator cooling fans stop on for a while when the engine is turned off and the ignition key taken out, i'm guessing this is linked to the warning light fault. Coolant level is ok.

hi, if the collant level is ok and the car isnt over heating then check the heater works in the car and make sure it gives of heat when hot is selected if it dont then the chances are the thermostat has gone and needs replacing.

If on the other hand you have heat then the chances are its just a faulty temp sensot these are cheap to buy and easy to replace.

Let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok

just in front of the altenator, there is a 10mm bolt, tighten that and it will tighten the fan belt .
these belts are quite tight, make sure the one you have is the correct length, sometimes the suppliers will send one that is close to the correct size, and is sometimes a few milimeters smaller.

You dont normally have to loosen anything else, but the easiest way is to put the belt on the alternator, tensioner and power steering first, then ease the belt over the ridge of the crankshaft last, one rib at a time, but evenly all the way around the pulley.
