Don't suppose there is any chance that light is just the rear fog is there? Or is it not high enough up
From memory the lights would have to be on to put the fogs on and they dont look on to me.
Plus the front fogs would be on to so the green front fog warning lamp would be showing on the cluster next to the yellow rear fog warning lamp.

#19: Re: looking for advice on purchasing this 206 Author: Stanler, Posted: Tue May 14, 2013 5:02 am ---- Went to view and the gent seemed genuine, but I guess they always do. Said the abs light was due to the battery being flat and having to get it jumped to charge.
I'm going back down today with a mechanic to have it looked over. Other than the abs light the car was near perfect

Wouldnt put me off if its was just a abs light, chances are it a sensor or a split ring!

Good way to screw up the car then.
Is it an actual trader selling the car? If it is, at least you have your statutory rights to fall back on if there is a more major problem.

#23: Re: looking for advice on purchasing this 206 Author: HowlingMadMurdock, Location: Ashington, NorthumberlandPosted: Tue May 14, 2013 8:17 pm ---- My mate's got one of those and the only problems he's had is with the EGR valve triggering the engine management light. Make sure the clutch is good too, it cost him £300 for a new one fitting. Other than that it's just the usual wear and tear things that aren't expensive he says.

Something to do with the ECU and things going pop.
Did you buy it?
#25: Re: looking for advice on purchasing this 206 Author: Stanler, Posted: Thu May 16, 2013 4:29 am ---- Sorry for the late reply, yeah I purchased the car and I'm loving it thoroughly.
Quick question though, if indeed the car had been jumped to charge the battery could this have blown a fuse for the abs? Causing the light to be on. I've rung the garage and they've agreed to look at the car for me over the light next week, just wondered if it was worth me sticking a couple of new fuses in to see if its as simple as that?
#26: Re: looking for advice on purchasing this 206 Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Thu May 16, 2013 4:54 am ---- More likely to be a cracked ring or a knackered sensor.
The garage should sort it for you, but buying a car (or any item) knowing that there is a fault can affect your rights, and the seller doesn't have any obligation to fix the fault.
By jump starting a 206, you can damage the BSI and ECU units. Some people will say that they have jump started their car and never had a problem. I'd prefer to air on the side of caution and avoid the £600+ bill from Peugeot. www.206info.co.uk/Foru...c/t=29958/
#27: Re: looking for advice on purchasing this 206 Author: Stanler, Posted: Thu May 16, 2013 5:48 am ---- Ah right thanks for the info. I had a word with him about the light being on and he's agreed to getting it sorted for me.
