Seeing as I do about 3200 miles a month!! My 1.4 does about 400 miles to a tank. I need something more economical to save the pennies in my back pocket!! Would like to know peoples views on the various HDi pugs!!
#2: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: 2Oh!6, Location: GloucesterPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 5:55 am ---- Very good i've had zero problems in the 7 months i've owned one.
#3: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: Iain, Location: Aberdeen, ScotlandPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 6:00 am ---- 2.0 HDi, neither of the others
#4: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 6:03 am ---- remapped 1.4hdi - my mrs got 730 miles out of her last tank of fuel.
#5: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: TomMessenger, Location: Ipswich-ishPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 6:11 am ---- Mine only gets about 35mpg around town, or 54mpg on the motorway. Gotta say I was hoping for better than that when I got it after seeing figures. Bit of a tractor too
#6: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: smiddies, Location: BrightonPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 6:20 am ---- What one have you got tom??
Oh also I have to think about insurance aswell!!!
#7: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: TomMessenger, Location: Ipswich-ishPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 6:24 am ---- Mine's the 2.0. And never ending problems with exhaust(3 backboxes in 2 years)/suspension/steering/rust that I hadn't noticed under the in-tact underseal, but that could happen to any 206 I suppose!
Insurance isn't that bad I don't think, I'm paying £1000 now compared to £750 on my 1.0 Micra, and the tax is low.
#8: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 6:25 am ---- the road tax for the 1.4hdi is £30 a year.
however, the 2.0hdi has a nicer gearbox to drive with.
#9: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: chinabluegti, Location: PontypriddPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 7:02 am ---- I had the HDIGTI, 1.6 turbo, I loved that car, it did about 55MPG if i drove it carefully, I have the same engine now in my 207 GTHDI and get about the same!! about 430 miles to a tank
#10: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: 2Oh!6, Location: GloucesterPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 7:04 am ----

Depends on the age of the car. Mine's an X plate and I get r*ped of £212 per year for tax.
#11: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: smiddies, Location: BrightonPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 7:06 am ---- Yer I looked at the HDi GTi but the insurance quote put me off!!!
#12: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: Tom206, Location: KENTPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 7:17 am ---- my 2.0HDI 2002 is the same as my old 1.4 8v 2003 on fuel.... if i drive nice and slow then it lasts ages... as soon as my foot goes down it drinks... doing about 115mph you can actually see the fuel gauge go down! lol
#13: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: smiddies, Location: BrightonPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 7:20 am ---- I wouldnt do 115 though! seeing as thats against the law
#14: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: copey, Location: rochdalePosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 7:44 am ---- i get around 600miles a tank on my 2.0 hdi, had very little problems apart from wear in tear in 13months ive owned it, new anti roll bar links, new track rod end on one side think thats about it, get good 48/49/50mpg when on a run of a mix of town and motorway driving
#15: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: smiddies, Location: BrightonPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 8:42 am ---- Ok cheers guys!!
#16: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: Jay794, Location: Sheffield/Chesterfield/DronfieldPosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 8:53 am ---- The 2.0HDi is an awesome car, although for a 2.0 engine I would have thought it would be running a little more than 90BHP. I get about 400 miles out of a tank, but then I do 50mph everywhere
#17: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 9:55 am ---- 2.0 hdi bullet proof engine really will last forever and easy to remap, chip and fit intercooler, and so on to make faster if you want but 90bhp standard is nippy meant to be the easiset 206 engine to tune
#18: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: Baz.mc, Location: DoncasterPosted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 5:02 pm ---- dont they do a 1.6 hdi quiksilver, sure thats got 110bhp that might be cheaper on the insurance than the gti hdi
#19: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: Werdnal, Location: Cornwall, UKPosted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 5:52 pm ---- I've got a 2.0HDi SW, 52 reg, which I bought last July. Only problem I've had is a flat battery and when I went to get it replaced, the fitter said it was the original one! Starts first time, even in the -5 weather we had before Christmas.
My previous car was a 1.7TD Astra Estate and although that was a reliable car, it drove like a bus compared to the 206, and was heavier on fuel too.
#20: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: Antknee, Location: ManchesterPosted: Tue Feb 08, 2011 1:47 am ---- I've got the 1.4 hdi and i actually love it! Not had any problems other than general ware and tear which include:
Brake shoes, drop links and temperature sensor (the exception)
Think this is actually the whole list lol i get about 38mpg at the minute mainly driving around in traffic, but when i put it on the motorway the acceleration is decent at times and probably getting about 300-350 from half a tank, a lot of people say they are ridiculously slow but this isn't strictly true if you keep it in the higher rev ranges
#21: Re: Your views with 206 HDI Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Tue Feb 08, 2011 2:09 am ---- I have the 2.0HDi. I love it! Never had any major problems and any problems (the exhaust and lower arm ball joint) have been general wear and tear. With the new turbo, panel filter and decat I think I have had it as low as 30mpg. Yet when drove sensibly and efficently, I got from Carlisle-Essex and back on a full tank which is 644 miles.
