The torque setting for the nuts on a 1996 Peugeot 306 hatchback will depend on the size of the nuts and the type of bolts they are used with. Here are the recommended torque settings for some of the more common fasteners on the Peugeot 306:

• Wheel nuts: 80-90 Nm
• Engine oil drain plug: 25-30 Nm
• Engine oil filter housing: 25-30 Nm
• Engine oil cooler hose banjo bolts: 25-30 Nm
• Engine oil pump mounting bolts: 25-30 Nm

These torque values are for general reference only and may vary depending on the specific model of the Peugeot 306 and the condition of the fasteners. It is always best to refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for the correct torque settings.

Brake rotors may be warped and need to be machined, or it needs a wheel alignment

It may be the clutch thrust bearing drying up.
Causing it to start seizeing.
The easiest solution is to change the whole clutch, or get it changed in a garage as you do need some specialist tools and knowledge.
Check the fan belt as the can make the same screech when worn or loose.

hi i have a garage this problem i encountered myself the other week disconnect the battery for about five minits and then reconnect this solved the problem on this P reg 306 good look if you have not sorted your problem.

If it only stalls when you stop check the hose to the brake booster. They can crack and leak or it could be the booster itself.

A clogged, overheated catalyst can do this, it sends a signal to the computer and lowers performance plus increases the gas usage.
