They also have deadlocks.
Thatcham Cat 2 transponder immobiliser.
Big button on remote to lock it then small button to deadlock / set the alarm system for your non plexed 206.

If you hear more than just breaking glass, it has an alarm, if you hear nothing either it doesn't have one or it's not working.
#4: Re: 206 gti how can I tell if it has alarm or not? Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Wed Dec 21, 2011 1:54 pm ---- Cool ill do that then
#5: Re: 206 gti how can I tell if it has alarm or not? Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Wed Dec 21, 2011 3:07 pm ---- Right it does defo have an alarm as it's gone off twice now in ten minutes and no one is trying to break in.
Could this be because it's faulty or should I turn the sonic's off when it's windy as it's quite windy where it's parked.?
#6: Re: 206 gti how can I tell if it has alarm or not? Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Dec 21, 2011 3:20 pm ---- Needs new ultrasonic sensors probably.
#7: Re: 206 gti how can I tell if it has alarm or not? Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Wed Dec 21, 2011 3:29 pm ---- So if I turn off sonic's with the button by handbrake and arm the alarm will it not go off with wind movement and just if one of doors is opened?
I don't really want to test it without knowing as I've already p**sed off the neighbours twice tonight

Door, boot or bonnet opened, ignition turned on, alarm siren disconnected or battery disconnected.
#9: Re: 206 gti how can I tell if it has alarm or not? Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Wed Dec 21, 2011 3:51 pm ---- So does turning the sonic's off stop the alarm from going off by wind buffet?
Sorry to re ask the question but previous post didn't answer my concern.
Thankyou
#10: Re: 206 gti how can I tell if it has alarm or not? Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Wed Dec 21, 2011 3:57 pm ---- wind shouldnt really cause it to go off. Unless its blowing your car over or something?
Iv never had a problem.
#11: Re: 206 gti how can I tell if it has alarm or not? Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Wed Dec 21, 2011 4:09 pm ---- I refer you to my last post
Does the sonic's button turn off whatever do da thingy inside the alarm's system that set's the alarm off when it senses movement.
A yes or no will suffice.
Thankyou x

the only way to stop it going off from wind buffet would be to as said completly remove the alarm. are you sure its the wind setting it off, and not someone trying to get you to turn it off so they can steal it.
#13: Re: 206 gti how can I tell if it has alarm or not? Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Wed Dec 21, 2011 4:17 pm ---- Ghosty thanks that answered my question.
#14: Re: 206 gti how can I tell if it has alarm or not? Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Wed Dec 21, 2011 4:28 pm ---- no problem
#15: Re: 206 gti how can I tell if it has alarm or not? Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Wed Dec 21, 2011 4:37 pm ---- I kicked it about an hour ago and the problem seems to have stopped now
#16: Re: 206 gti how can I tell if it has alarm or not? Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Wed Dec 21, 2011 5:16 pm ---- just thought, you said it was windy, could it have been one of the rear windows not shut properly, i have a friend whos 3 yr old takes great delight in leaving my windows off the catch (closed but not locked) could it be mb the wind was getting in that way and tripping the interior sensors.
#17: Re: 206 gti how can I tell if it has alarm or not? Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Wed Dec 21, 2011 5:25 pm ---- Maybe but knowing my luck it's more likely an expensive fault.
CHeers.

Just buy some new ultrasonic sensors, there cheap enough from any Peugeot / Citroen main dealer.

Its the ultrasonic sensors causing the problem, seeing as there cheap enough new from any Peugeot / Citroen main dealer its a simple diy job to fix the alarm.
#20: Re: 206 gti how can I tell if it has alarm or not? Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Fri Dec 23, 2011 6:54 pm ---- didnt realise the ultrasonics were part of the external protection, how does that work, as surely it would be a tilt/shock sensor.
i remember in my old nova i had an alarm fitted where i could set how hard it had to be hit before it triggered, weakest was a butterfly flapping its wings nearby would trigger it, strongest was pretty much kicking the pannels.

No tilt or shock sensors on a factory 206 alarm, just faulty ultrasonics that dont like the windows being buffeted by the wind which in turn triggers the alarm.
