Hey guys. Long time lurker here, and have learned a lot from you guys, so first off, Thanks :D

A few weeks ago My 06 1.4 16V Grande decided that she was going to start conking out a few times after she started but was fine once she got going. Checked the forum and asked a few friends and got some good advice, such as sensors, leaks in systems,etc. Had a quick check and couldn't find much myself. Took the plunge today to bring it to the local mechanic and get some codes. Got the following:

P0106: Barometric Pressure Circuit
P0300: Misfire detected
P0301: Misfire detected on cylinder 1
P0302: Misfire detected on cylinder 2
P0303: Misfire detected on cylinder 3

A bit of quick research suggested spark plugs, leaks, fuel injectors among others.

Has anyone else experienced this before?
Not sure what to expect, in particular the cost for repair.

Had a quick search around the forum but not found what I'm looking for.

Thanks again guys for your help.
 
Good news everyone!! Turns out to be just a hole in a tube and the car is back up and running. The P0106 error was the barometric pressure reading which was due to the hole in the tube and allowing air in which in turn caused the misfires, codes P0300 to P0303, as it was getting air instead.

So all in all, €30 to read the codes and €50 for the mechanic to fix it.

All good in my books. :D
