Does anyone read Diagnostic/Fault codes in London or Surrey?
As I have a 206 auto and the snow and sports button keep flashing not all the time, sometimes and the car goes in limp mode.

onThanks, I did see this post but I rather get the fault codes read just incase anything else has been flagged up.
Cheers

probably best buy your own reader and get some software for your laptop mate, I got one for mine which reads most faults and I paid around 10 quid

First check (unless you like to throw money away ) would be the auto box oil level if you haven't already done so

onThanks for that deckchair
How much have you paid for a auto oil change? Also if it wasn't needed how much did you pay to check?
If I do not take it to Peugeot will it matter that I won't be able to get the oil wear sensor reset? As I do not want the flashing snow and sport buttons or for the car to go in limp mode.

I can't say as I've always changed the oil myself
Also if it wasn't needed how much did you pay to check?
It's easy to check so I haven't paid anyone else to do it
If I do not take it to Peugeot will it matter that I won't be able to get the oil wear sensor reset? As I do not want the flashing snow and sport buttons or for the car to go in limp mode.
I doubt if it is the oil change warning as you have to do a heck of a lot of duty cycles before it triggers. Anyone with Peugeot Planet and most garages can reset the oil change interval

Well there's a heck of a lot of oil remaining in the system if you just drain the old oil out so if you want to be thorough then the best way is to drain and then refill and run the system a little while and then drain that out and refill again. You can never completely get the old stuff out but you can make a good job by draining it twice.
Of course, this means using twice the amount of oil but its not that expensive. Personally i find the smaller 1litre containers easier to handle in the engine bay than say one large one
But if you're not sure what you're doing then it's best to leave to a garage to do as you must be careful not to overfill
First task is simply check whether it needs oil. If it does then look for any leaks around the driveshafts where they enter the auto box, they leave a tell tale oil trail running underneath the car

How many litres do you use for a thorough clean?
If you don't do a thorough clean how many litres would you need?
And are you using original Peugeot ATF 4HP20 Esso? How much did you pay per a litre?
Cheers

I find around 4 litres is enough for a single drain and refill
I use Comma AQM transmission fluid. A 5litres can is around £21 but you're better to fill and use a 1 litre can for access to refill
