hi guys. i bought a 206 gti not so long ago and the other night i timed it's 0 - 60 time. i've heard its 8secs normally but mine done it in a rather slow 9.39 secs. do u think there is something wrong with my car, or anything i could do to make it be as quick as it says in the book.
cheers :)

So much of the 0-60 time depends on the start...which is down to traction and how good/bad the driver is.

hi mate. yeah i was thinking of giving it a service.
its got 77k on the clock. but im pretty disappointed in its performance. it needs a new manifold apparently, because its got a weird rattle coming from it. thought it was the cat at 1st, but replaced that and noise is still there. so next week thats getting sorted. maybe its something to do with that? so fingers crossed.

possibly could be me, but i really dont think it is..
it seemed fine pulling off, there wasnt a ridiculous amount of wheel spin, just the norm really.i tried a few times and basically got the same time on each attempt.

It doesnt need a new manifold, it needs you to use the SEARCH button 
Its a common problem on the GTI & very easy to fix.

care to explain? because i've tried searching common faults and all i seem to find is an idling problem lol.
but it does need a new manifold as this one has got odd noises coming from it. and its getting done for free from the garage anyways so i got no complaints lol.
and i do enjoy the car rich lol, would jus like it to meet the standards it says in the book :L

The 4 tubes inside the manifold need welding together & to the outer pipe to stop them rattling, that was the offical Peugeot warranty fix.
