What to watch out for

01-01-0001:

On 206 GTIs used for short runs from cold, emulsified oil can block the feeds to the hydraulic tappets leading them to fail within 3 years. The cure is to fit oil feeds and tappets from the 2.2 engine.

Check origin carefully as may be an import and may not have Peugeot 3 year warranty.

Make sure roof opens and shuts properly. Have been problems with the roof mechanism.

Problems with autobox of 1.6 auto.

Fault in electronics of indicator stalks very common on 206s, expecially Multiplex, from July 2001. Free fix available in France from December 2002.

The electronic control unit distributing Multiplex current for the headlights seems to be failing regularly and is £500 to replace.

'Gong' sound means that car battery is failing to hold sufficient charge and needs to be replaced.
