Hi. I have a 1999 1.8l Peugeot 406 and recently it has started randomly shutting out when I am reducing speed when approaching a junction/roundabout/tight corner. It always starts immediately again. There doesn't seem to be any set conditions when it happens tho it is more likely to occur when the engine is warm. I had initially thought it might be fuel intake as it started when the car was low on fuel(under1/4 of a tank) but now it occurs when i have more than half a tank. I was wondering if it might be related to EGR valve? Does anyone have any experience with this, and any idea of possible costs?
Thank you so much

Re: Engine cutting out
Maybe other member can diagnose more accurately, but I would take a wild guess that it's from the vehicle speed sensor. Recently I saw a video from local mechanic where a 206 engine would quit when they are slowing down and pressing the clutch, replacing the speed sensor apparently solves that issues.
