#1: 206 for dummies? Author: Louise1987, Location: DKPosted: Tue Feb 01, 2011 2:19 pm ---- I have no idea about cars. I know nothing.
The only reason I have a 206 is because I inherited it...
And so I'm left finding out how it works and how I can improve. But I have nothing to put it up against, so I come here for advice...
1) I have no idea what all your little sentences mean... hdi? gti and whatnot, so please just... cut it out for me. I realise I'm an idiot in this area, but I DO try to make an effort...
I should probably know more about my car... but I don't... I don't even know when it was manufactured, which I apparently needed when I went to get windshield-wipers. I have no idea how to figure it out either :/
I just know it says Peugeot 206, but I imagine there are different versions as well and such things... it's got 3 doors!
So, questions...
1) where is there a cheap place to buy windshield wipers online? (in DK it's pretty expensive)
2) if I want an FM transmitter, what would you suggest? I've looked at the pricey ends, but all seems to contain noise. Would it be better to install a car-radio with AUX? (is that even correct?)
3) How far does your car go on the litre? I thought I could check it on a forum, but there's... well I might not be able to find it. What is the "normal" milage/km?
4) There's a neat strap in the trunk where I can strap in the windshield-wiper-can, but are there other neat tricks to keep it all secure and tight and where can I get it?
5) where's the best place to buy emergency kit (triangle, light-vest, whatever's needed in emergencies)
The two last I imagine I can google, but I'd rather hear it from people who knows...
Once more... give it to me with a spoon, because I have no idea about cars right now
Awesomeness.

2)Better to get an aux as radio waves wont interfere
3) never really taken notice of this sorry.
4) There are a lot of different little things on the different versions of the 206, if you have any idea what model your car is then we can answer this one
5) ebay?
#3: Re: 206 for dummies? Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Feb 01, 2011 2:32 pm ---- 2) FM transmitter is pretty bad, no matter how much it cost. get a cheap head unit is the best choice if you want aux-in
3) depends on what engine you have got and what fuel do you use.....mine got over 52mpg (2.0 diesel)

Doubt they have Halfords in Denmark

A headunit with a AUX input would give you superior sound quality and would be better. I had a FM transmitter and it was pretty poor.
3) How far does your car go on the litre? I thought I could check it on a forum, but there's... well I might not be able to find it. What is the "normal" milage/km?
It all depends on the driving style. I have a 2.0HDi and that can vary from 0.08 litres per km to 0.04 litres per km
4) There's a neat strap in the trunk where I can strap in the windshield-wiper-can, but are there other neat tricks to keep it all secure and tight and where can I get it?
You can get a cargo net that connects to the four hoops on the rear of the seats
5) where's the best place to buy emergency kit (triangle, light-vest, whatever's needed in emergencies)
