Hi,
i have recently bought a 2003 206 gti 180, whilst driving it today all the dials went to zero, the radio went off, 'stop' flashed up on the dash and 'pasenger airbag deactivated' flashed up on display, dash lights out and a few warning lights. car was still driving fine. i pulled over and stopped the car, gave it a couple of mins then started it again, was ok for a couple of miles then it did it again, any ideas? could it be anything to do with the heavy rain we've been having or something more serious Question Question Sad
thanks
bob

i struggle to see how the rain would cause it to do that :/, could be a bad earth or corroded wire?

As rich said, the quickest and best thing you could do is get it plugged in, you'll know straight away then.
My com 2000 is playing up but all it has done is deactivate my airbags and my horn , but the horn is back now and the airbag light is still on.

Not sure if you have sorted this yet, but I had this same problem maybe 3/4 months after buying my 180, sometimes all dials also used to go crazy when starting the car, I replaced the battery as it was the original (6-7 years old) and it has never done it since (about a year now), not sure if that helps at all!

Been a 206 fan since my first one at 17!
