Bosch Super Plus will be fine for a 1.4.
Super 4 just give a longer service life.

about 10-15mins it took me. Just take your time and do it properly. special care to screw it in place without forcing it else you'll ruin the threading.

Buy them online and fit yourself. Took me 10 minutes. It's really easy all you do is remove the engine cover coil pack then plugs.
You will be glad you did it!

I fitted Super 4's last time, I wont bother again, ill go back to the Super Plus at next service.
If your diy fitting them, take the ratchet of the extension + spark plug socket & spin the new spark plugs in using your fingers on the end of the extension to avoid cross threading the plugs, do the final tighten with the ratchet.

Will be slightly different if your engine is the 8v, but same principle. Though don't feel pressured to do it lol, If you're not confident 100% then probably best getting someone else to do it. Tbh, garages shouldnt really charge more than 20odd quid.
EDIT: yes for sure battery would need disconnecting and BSI shutdown/restart procedure if your 206 is multiplexed

Peugeots dont like NGK's. Another vote for bosch.
Also id be carefull buying anything online. Sparkplugs would be easy things to 'Fake', just like Osram nightbreaker bulbs.
