Hi All,
I have just bought a 52 plate (2003) 206 sw estate with 2.0 Hdi engine. Whilst driving along there appeared to be a couple of banging noises from under the rear of the car. One of these was the spacesaver wheel banging about in the spare wheel carrier. I had this problem a while ago on a 206 2.0 Hdi hatch that we had and cured it by fitting a normal steel rim spare wheel in the carrier which stopped all movement. Again I have cured that problem on this 206 sw but there is still a horrible banging noise when travelling over a speed hump or hitting the odd pot hole. It sounds like the shockers have been replaced by bricks and I was wondering if worn rear shockers are a common cause of this or perhaps the mounting bushes on the rear axle assembly may be causing this? The car has standard Peugeot Scirocco Alloys fitted.

1st thing i would do is check to see if the rear shocks are leaking, had the exact same thing on a 206 other day, (was knocking until i fixed it for them)

Is the exhaust hitting the lower torsion bar? Got any pictures to show how the exhaust is routed over the lateral link bar?

I will have a clearer picture on Saturday Edward when I fit a new exhaust back box. I know that the current back box which is rotten is banging against the heat shield on the spare wheel carrier and gives a distinct ringing tone when it does.

Exhaust back box now fitted and that has cured that rattling noise and it no longer catches against the spare wheel carrier. The rest of the exhaust is also clear of any obtrusion so I am left with the last of the banging noises. It is only apparent when riding through a pot hole or over a speed hump but is not noticeable when driving along. I have been told by my friend who works at Peugeot that it is possibly the bearing in the radius arm on the axle, has anyone come across this problem?

OP, did you ever get to the bottom of this? Was it simply a shock absorber? I have a similar sounding problem but its only on the right rear wheel. If i go over manhole covers with the left wheels - no noise, but on the right, the rear seems to bang. Cornering and motorways are absolutely fine so I am assuming that it isnt the dreaded whole axle problem? fingers crossed.
