Indicator Stalk clip weak (hard to explain)
-> 206 Problems

#1: Indicator Stalk clip weak (hard to explain) Author: JordHaze, Location: Warwickshire PostPosted: Thu Jul 10, 2014 3:47 am

Hi guys,

So I've had my 206 since October and recently (May-ish) the indicator stalk started playing up.

When I turn out of my estate onto the main road (I usually turn right) the indicator will turn off automatically, as it should, but it immediately drops down to a left indicate. Is there a clip or something that I can easily fix myself?

I went to my local dealership yesterday, who told me that it would cost £313 (-20% trade discount) to replace the whole indicator head unit part.

I don't have £280 odd to spare right now.

Any advice?

Cheers guys,

Jord

I looked into that, but my older brother told me when it happened on his 106, he just got a newer clip from the breakers yard, was just wondering if it's the same on a 206?

It is possible to replace individual stalks but chances are the others will go sooner rather then later.
There is a guy on eBay who refurbishes comms units, his prices are decent and I know people who have used him and have had no problems a year later. Can't find the link right now but a Google search will probably bring it up.

Hi all - new to this site although on my 2nd 206 now - a dark green X Reg 1.4 GLX. My wife also has a 206 - a red 02 plate 1.1 style.

My indicator stalk had a mind of it's own - it kept signalling left all by itself. Anyway - I found a simple to follow guide online on how to refurbish the stalk yourself. Followed the guide as stated and now I have a fully refurbished stalk that feels like a brand new part and is in full working order again. Took about 30 mins in all to do, and cost me no money at all.

Have copied the weblink into this message:

I take it you followed that guide for the X reg, because it will be no good for your wives 2002 model and no good for the OP with either his 2002 or 2007 model.

Yep it was on my car. I know the stalks are bigger on the later cars - can't imagine the innards would be that much different.

So that's all one unit then? My wife's one occasionally drops down and starts signalling left after self cancelling - doesn't do it all the time though.

I take it these ones aren't user serviceable?
