#1: engine light came on...then off again Author: chris_h, Location: ukPosted: Thu Mar 28, 2013 1:00 pm ---- Just left work and went up the road and the engine light came on . I drove to the lights, turned the engine off and on again quickly, and it was still on.
I went a further 7 miles and turned the engine off for about 4 minutes and the light didn't relight like it did previously....
The car drove normal and no obvious problems. acceleration was slow which is perfectly normal for the 1.1.
Seriously though it got me worried! any one else has this issue?

these 206's are a little unreliable for my taste....might selling after this clutch

I do like the rear suspension though, easier to change than other cars

#9: Re: engine light came on...then off again Author: chris_h, Location: ukPosted: Mon Apr 01, 2013 6:47 am ---- Ok just had the code checked and it is p0202
relating to the injector on cylinder 2, usual signs include and poor acceleration (none I experienced).
I will wait to see if the code returns and forward a solution

The 206 I've owned since 2005 has been the most reliable car I've had so far.
Doesn't go wrong & easy / cheap to service.
We see the same at work with the forklifts, if there looked after correctly ( which they are where I am ) you very rarely get any breakdowns.
