#1: How many miles have you done with your 206? Author: hamed206, Location: EgyptPosted: Wed Apr 30, 2014 3:36 pm ---- How many miles have you done with your 206? And are you still satisfied with it?
Mine has done about 220K miles and still moving! But it needs a lot of work and many things need a re build. Currently it is my first car, and I use it in everything. I have bought it new since August 2000. I'm really thinking of selling it and buy another car or keep it and make it my second car (for downtown use only) and buy another one for traveling and long distances.
Opinions are welcome.

Willing to spend money on it to keep it going. Grandad bought it for me so it has sentimental value. Especially as my dad died when I was 6 of cancer. Grandad has been like my dad, so will probably never get rid if possible. At worst case will keep it as a daily and get a second car for the weekends??

#16: Re: How many miles have you done with your 206? Author: hamed206, Location: EgyptPosted: Sat May 03, 2014 12:23 pm ---- Sounds that it is not me only that have this huge number of kilometers done with my 206
I have no problems with my 206 as I became expert in all its problems Except the engine which became worn
There is no value from selling an old 206 like mine especially with the current engine condition.
The problem is that if I want to keep it, I will have to make a lot of job for the engine. I have an internal oil leakage which mean a new piston rings. My mechanic is also suggesting a new cylinder head gasket + a skim job for the cylinder head.
Another mechanic is telling me, you should change the pistons too! Or swap another engine.
So what do you think? Is it worth to re build the engine? Or swapping another one is better? Should I just change the rings and the cylinder head gasket plus doing the skim job for the head like what the first mechanic have said? How much would such a job cost?
There is a theory that say, swapping another engine is cheaper than re building the current one. Also you might not get a perfect performance after re building the engine compared to getting another engine.
(I'm keen to keep it as there is no value from selling it now, although I'm planning for another car soon, I started looking for Japanese cars).

Author: RichardEke, Location: DoncasterPosted: Sat May 03, 2014 3:06 pm ---- Hi there, for me replacing the engine with a newer or remanufactured one is the way to go. You can try and rebuild but another old part might fail a week after, requiring more time and money. Also if it's all old then once a rebuild is started other things may be found and need replacing also.
An engine swap to a newer or remanufactued unit isn't a garantee that something wont go pop a week after, but the chances are a less than with a rebuild. The swap updates all the engine components not just some i think is what i'm trying to say.
BUT, if you're looking for a new car anyway why not save the money and put it towards that? Here in the UK at least 206's are cheap enough that you could get another cheaper than paying the labour on an engine swap.
Last thing, if you did the work your self i can see the appeal of a rebuild, it does auit the DIY. So does an engine swap but the costs soon add up with labour when paying a garage.
