Peaguet 206 engine cuts out when hot 2003 model petrol

It might be two stage cooling - leaving one fan to provide adequate cooling for most conditions and the other switching on when the temperature climbs in heavy traffic, very hot weather, towing, etc.

Some manufacturers wishing to cut noise to a minimum fit one large fan and a powerful motor which they run at different speeds depending on how much cooling is required.

car is cold and moving is OK if not moving getting hot could be thermostat stuck close or rad.is clog.

sounds like fuel filter or pump

SOUND LIKE ENGINE OVERHEATING,CHECK COOLANT LEVEL MAKE SURE YOUR RADIATOR FULL OF ANTIFREEZE.IF YOUR COOLANT OVERFLOW JUG IS EMPTY COOLANT LEVEL IS LOW.NEED ADD MORE COOLANT TO OVERFLOW UNTIL COOLANT STAY AT FULL COLD MARK. DONT OVER FILL COOLANT OVER FLOW JUG.IF COOLANT OKAY ENGINE OVERHEATING REPLACE THERMOSTAT.MAKE SURE ENGINE COOLING FAN IS WORKING IF YOU COME TO A STOP CAR SITS FOR A LITTLE WHILE START OVERHEATING THE COOLING FAN NOT TURNING ON , BECAUSE COOLANT FAN FUSE BLOWED OR YOU HAVE BAD RELAY,THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAULTY.IF YOU HAVE THE CLUTCH TYPE COOLING FAN, MAKE SURE WHEN TURNING CLUTCH FAN WITH HAND COOLING FAN SHOULD HAVE RESISTANCE WHEN HOT.IF CLUTCH FAN FEEL WOBBLY AND LOOSE REPLACE IT.TAKE VECHICLE TO AUTO ZONE OR ADVANCE AUTO PARTS OR ANY AUTO PARTS STORES THEY WILL CODE SCAN CAR FREE AND GIVE YOU THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TROUBLE CODE TO SEE WHAT CAUSING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO TURN ON.

I have a 2003 model mazda Bravo 2wd G6 2.6l petrol I'm having with the distributor timing thinking it was my crankshaft sensor was a problem but it still doing the same thing it will idle but when u got up ta 1500rpm brake down run ruff and motor would cut out or go back to idle and wouldn't start again till it cool down but i a cleaner into the airflow meter sensor and it drove and down the road with out breaking down

The fan is only supposed to come on when there is excess heat .. in normal driving conditions it doesn't start. When you start your car in the morning the fan won't come on because the engine is cold.

With a hot engine - and it depends how hot the engine is - the fan will only kick in to prevent overheating. In heavy slow moving traffic or a traffic jam, the fan will kick in if needed.

The air flow through the radiator is usually sufficient -in normal driving conditions - to cool the engine.

When you park up and the car has a hot engine, the fan will kick in. This is perfectly normal. It is caused by a surge of hot coolant triggering the fan sensor. Perfectly normal.

The fan then should cut out after a while .. maybe 2-3 minutes at the most. If the fan runs continuously that suggests a fault in the temperature sensor switch.

Next time - wait by the car and see how long it takes for the fan to quit after you have parked up. It should stop of its own accord after a couple of minutes.

If the fan cuts off after a short while, and your battery is becoming drained, that's probably a battery or alternator fault.

Remember: when you start the car the fan won't kick in at idle speed because the engine is COLD, and there is no reason for the fan to start up ..
The fan WILL kick in for a couple of minutes after you have parked the vehicle and the engine is hot

At idling speed an engine does build up a lot of heat and the cooling fan will kick in. In slow moving traffic or traffic jams the temperature gauge can touch the red - particularly on hot days. The reason it cools down when you start moving is because of the air flow through the radiator.

Presumably there are no leaks from the cooling system otherwise you would have mentioned it. In normal circumstances the fan will not be running as you are driving at speed, as the air-flow through the radiator is sufficient to cool things. The fan only kicks in to get rid of excess heat - and this usually occurs at idling speed or after you have parked the car.

If the fan is running all the time as you drive, this points to either a fault in the fan switch, or the car is running too hot. presumably in normal driving the fan isn't running and the temperature gauge reads normal?

It is common - in stationary traffic many cars overheat (particularly big engined models) try to stall and 'cut out'. Restarting can be difficult until the engine cools down.

Is your car overheating in normal driving conditions or just at idle speed? Overheating in normal driving conditions can be caused by things like a failing water pump, blocked radiator, collapsed hose, faulty thermostat or, in the worst case scenario, cylinder head problems.

Overheating at idling speed is 'common'. Check your coolant level. If your car isn't using/losing coolant then there probably is no major problem. You can flush out the cooling system and refill with new coolant - and also check your radiator. Are the cooling fins crumbling with age? Or maybe they're partly clogged with insects and debris from the road? A blast with a hosepipe wil sort that out ..

The question is how much does your car overheat in normal driving? If it doesn't .. it appears as though you have nothing to worry about as such. Most cars have 2 speed fans... the 2nd faster stage kicks in at some point dependant on engine temperature. Perfectly normal.

I have a mini one 2003. when i drive it its fine unless im cruising at about 40mph then i get a juddering. I have changed the air filter and used 2 bottles of injector fluid which when thats in the petrol it runs fine but as soon as i put more petrol in it starts juddering again. Also sometimes when i stop at traffic lights the engine feels that its gonna cut out, it revs up and down has has cut out once. Please can you help

speed is not a factor the a/c is conected tho the engine and runs on petrol it is probably the cooler fluid in the a/c that is starting tho run out u can not fill it upp your self u have to go to a mecanic and the will open the a/c upp and fill it four you. then itt will work four a copale off years. and then you will have to do it again

hard starting in the moning if your engine is diesel check your heater plugs means when the diesel engine is cold it needs to heat up, also injection pump and injectors can cause.check the engine compretion.
the petrol engine when your sparkplugs is worn out it can be or when the cyliner head valves is leaking puting more petrol on the combustion chamber.
