#1: 2.0 HDi Performance issues? Author: chewitt, Location: North WalesPosted: Wed Jan 18, 2012 2:05 pm ---- Right then guys this might seem normal to most owners of 2.0 HDi's but for me im not entirely satisfied in terms of performance, I'm sure some of you may shed some light on this but here goes...
So as I'm new to Diesels and Peugeots in general I've not really had a benchmark in terms of performance for me to relate to. My problem is that although my 206 is quite pokey, it seems to lose most its power just before hitting 70mph. Lets say I have a nice flat straight road, I pull off quite nicely rev only up to 3.5k through all the gears when it comes to 70, its almost as if i have no power, I mean it slowly increases speed but not greatly (no problem when im going down a hill). Is this normal for this engine? I ask this because I honestly though a 2.0 Hdi would be slightly better than this, i get that its quite not a GTi but I'm not convinced i have all my engine power?
Any ideas would be great!
Cheers

What gear are you in at 70?
When did it last have a service?

Author: chewitt, Location: North WalesPosted: Wed Jan 18, 2012 2:27 pm ---- I had a service done last week, they did mention that there was a performance issue when i removed the egr pipe, which i agree it didnt really do me much so i whacked th pipe back on. I had a noticeable peak in performance but im thinking because you guys still have pull beyond 70, i think something might be wrong! They also put it on a diagnostics tablet but this showed no issues with the car. Now just yesterday I had an Antipollution Fault show, this morning however I have no such fault! WTF!

This is bugging the s**t out of me! I could just about overtake a frikken lorry with some ass riding my back en.. not good! Definitely think there's something wrong!

#8: Re: 2.0 HDi Performance issues? Author: chewitt, Location: North WalesPosted: Wed Jan 18, 2012 2:46 pm ---- Standard one dude, I've not changed anything under the bonnet. Well apart from a new battery.
#9: Re: 2.0 HDi Performance issues? Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Wed Jan 18, 2012 3:27 pm ---- Was it changed at the service?
#10: Re: 2.0 HDi Performance issues? Author: chewitt, Location: North WalesPosted: Wed Jan 18, 2012 3:33 pm ---- Im not entirely sure to be honest, but i know this problem has been going a little after i bought it. I figured it just may have needed a service and new cambelt kit but its still here!
#11: Re: 2.0 HDi Performance issues? Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Wed Jan 18, 2012 3:39 pm ---- Have a look at the filter and personally I would change it to a pannel filter from K'n'N.
Was it a full service as in major like having everything changed?
#12: Re: 2.0 HDi Performance issues? Author: Seabook, Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2012 3:40 pm ---- did it gone pass 70mph in 4th?

#14: Re: 2.0 HDi Performance issues? Author: Seabook, Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2012 5:28 pm ---- 2.0HDi on 206 don't have particular filter
