#1: gti's 0-60 not too good. Author: scottsgti, Location: ramsgatePosted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 2:32 pm ---- hi guys. i bought a 206 gti not so long ago and the other night i timed it's 0 - 60 time. i've heard its 8secs normally but mine done it in a rather slow 9.39 secs. do u think there is something wrong with my car, or anything i could do to make it be as quick as it says in the book.
cheers :)

#4: Re: gti's 0-60 not too good. Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 2:37 pm ---- So much of the 0-60 time depends on the start...which is down to traction and how good/bad the driver is.
#5: Re: gti's 0-60 not too good. Author: scottsgti, Location: ramsgatePosted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 2:40 pm ---- hi mate. yeah i was thinking of giving it a service.
its got 77k on the clock. but im pretty disappointed in its performance. it needs a new manifold apparently, because its got a weird rattle coming from it. thought it was the cat at 1st, but replaced that and noise is still there. so next week thats getting sorted. maybe its something to do with that? so fingers crossed.

it seemed fine pulling off, there wasnt a ridiculous amount of wheel spin, just the norm really.i tried a few times and basically got the same time on each attempt.

That was me in my old 206 Gti
Not sure if the link is working as I'm in my phone. Search 206 Gti standard no mods 0-60 on youtube.

It doesnt need a new manifold, it needs you to use the SEARCH button
Its a common problem on the GTI & very easy to fix.
#12: Re: gti's 0-60 not too good. Author: scottsgti, Location: ramsgatePosted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 3:18 pm ---- care to explain? because i've tried searching common faults and all i seem to find is an idling problem lol.
but it does need a new manifold as this one has got odd noises coming from it. and its getting done for free from the garage anyways so i got no complaints lol.
and i do enjoy the car rich lol, would jus like it to meet the standards it says in the book :L
#13: Re: gti's 0-60 not too good. Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 3:22 pm ---- The 4 tubes inside the manifold need welding together & to the outer pipe to stop them rattling, that was the offical Peugeot warranty fix.
#14: Re: gti's 0-60 not too good. Author: scottsgti, Location: ramsgatePosted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 3:27 pm ---- no doubt thats the problem mine has then...
hopefully all goes well and the garage will sort it with out further complications
#15: Re: gti's 0-60 not too good. Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 3:38 pm ---- and even so the rattle is just annoying only, it do no harm to the performance
