#2: Re: help and info about 206 please Author: Razpulsedj, Location: Partying with the Info ShufflersPosted: Fri Nov 19, 2010 3:42 pm ---- coil packs tbh ive never really had much more than that happen other than usual wear and tear
#3: Re: help and info about 206 please Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Fri Nov 19, 2010 3:42 pm ---- it's french and breaks often
#4: Re: help and info about 206 please Author: brad-morris, Location: BromsgrovePosted: Fri Nov 19, 2010 3:45 pm ---- never had a problem with my 206, like above coil pack will probably be the only issue (if there is one)

But mine maybe special though as i know of alot of members that never stop having problems

DevonPosted: Fri Nov 19, 2010 3:58 pm ---- I havent come across any 206 problems yet just general wear and tear, but was warned by alot of dealers that they are prone to slack gear boxes, I bought mine knowing that problem but I was addicted to them and needed one.
#8: Re: help and info about 206 please Author: Corsa_Alex, Location: devpnPosted: Fri Nov 19, 2010 4:26 pm ---- thanks guys doesnt sound as bad as the common headgasket problem with mg zr's have that im looking to buy
heard 206's rear axles are sometimes dodgey? and suspension? anyone shed some light?
looking to get a 1.4 or maybe 1.1 206, under 70k miles so shouldnt be too much of a shed but im obviously going to test drive it/check it over etc..

Yeah the 1.4s are decent, just the usual things like bottom arms, drop links and stay away from NGK spark plugs
#10: Re: help and info about 206 please Author: Corsa_Alex, Location: devpnPosted: Fri Nov 19, 2010 4:55 pm ---- why stay away from ngk plugs just out of interest?

Because they cause the car to misfire, something to to with the combo of NGK and the coilpack
#12: Re: help and info about 206 please Author: Corsa_Alex, Location: devpnPosted: Sat Nov 20, 2010 6:16 am ---- okay cheers
so stay away from ngk plugs, can upset the coilpack which ive heard is quite common.
also the rear axle bit rubbish sometimes?
and also been told the thrust bearings can do quite easily so no riding the clutch ?
