Vehicle
Peugeot 306
The 1993-2002 small family car, and a very large number are still running — which makes the management-system boundary the first thing to establish. Early cars use Bosch Motronic or Magneti Marelli systems that pre-date OBD-II and need the manufacturer's own protocol and a 30-pin connector; from 1998 most are EOBD compliant on the standard connector. The XU-series petrol engines are simple and durable, with the distributor-less ignition coil packs and crank sensor as the usual no-start causes. The 1.9 diesels are mechanical and largely codeless; the 2.0 HDi that arrived at the end of the run is common rail, and its injector return-flow test is the fastest route to a rough-running diagnosis.

First generation 1993–2002
Pre-OBD-II management on early cars, EOBD from 1998; the 2.0 HDi's injector return flow is the quickest diagnostic on the diesels.

Service information
Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
