One of the most sought after used cars is the Peugeot 206. And the offer is also huge. Where do we need to consider when purchasing such a French hatchback?

When Peugeot had the 205 to stop the thought the the customers happy to be able to keep up with the smaller 106 (advice) and slightly larger 306. But it soon became clear that the size of the Polo / Fiesta more popular than the analysts Peugeot had estimated, and so had the 206. Not an unwise action, because the 206 would be an absolute bestseller for the French. The car was produced from 1998 to 2010, and in some places in the world, they are still new sold. In the Netherlands the 206 followed by the 207, but there was budgetoptie also for a while a 206+ sold: a 206 with the nose of a 207. There were five body styles: the hatchback driedeurs, hatchback five-door, the CC convertible with steel roof, the SW station and the SD sedan. That last one is in the Netherlands never sold. We treat in this video is not the CC, because that car has a set of its own issues, which we will save for a private video.

The best performances were the GTi and the RC, which has 177 hp. Although they never had the cult status of the 205 GTi have been able to match the GTi and RC seriously nice cars. One find one that is not messed up, is a challenge.

Issues

• A Peugeot 206 is no superbetrouwbare car, but parts and labor are often surprisingly inexpensive, usually making it easier to have a 206 with a small budget to drive.
• The central computers are better. The first) of all that this is going to happen is that the info display integration at the middle of the dashboard every time back to the same day / time at restart. Replacement computers must be in the Peugeot set up and costs between €500 and € 600.
• Under the hood (by the wipers) are air vents that easily garbage collect. Make sure you regularly clean everything to prevent standing water, or that there are no leaks in the interior arise. This last is the easiest to recognize on a wet floor mats.
• The automatic transmission on the 1.4 is not very good, skip that but just.
• The sunroofs rattle, and Peugeot had no solution for. Learn but to live with it!
• The exhaust of a 206 with the 2.0 liter engine is pisbakkenstaal. Don’t be surprised if each year you will a new exhaust need to because they rust, especially if you have a lot of short pieces drive. Autoblog Top Tip: there are very fine STAINLESS steel systems to get, for example, super sprint, which, as a bonus, a slightly finer sound deliver.
• The engine of the 1.4 petrol are on the soft side, and therefore need a little more frequently than average to be replaced.
• The instapmechanisme of the chairs of the driedeurs is often.
• The 1.6 HDiF turbo’s piece, and if that happens you need also be the oil pump and some other parts to be replaced so you soon €1500 euro poorer.
• The tellerhuis going piece. The speedometer and tachometer stuck or stop work completely. Also the lighting of this unit is often. Reconditioning costs about €130 euro.
• The rear window falls after the expiry of the time sometimes down a bit, making it in the lacquer cuts. Therefore, 206 messages suffer from rust on the tailgate, below the window.
• The 206 diesels have a heat shield that over time decays. Pieces of the heat shield can then cause damage to the alternator and/or the a / c compressor, which can overheat and cause a fire. It can do no harm to the state of the heat shields to check if you go for a diesel. Peugeot has possibly replacement shields that are no longer in the fire fly.
• Central locking system is prone to malfunction. Check always good or that it works correctly.
• Do not drive too hard through huge puddles, because then you run the risk that there is water in the gearbox.
• The car has electrically adjustable mirrors? Check well whether they work, because they often go piece!
