#1: Looking to buy a 206, need advice Author: Iceman29, Posted: Wed Nov 19, 2014 3:17 pm ---- Hi guys, i'm new on this forum, just need some advice on which 206 to buy.
I currently have a 306 hdi but i'm looking to get a 206 2.0 hdi or 1.6td gti. Is the latter as reliable as the 2.0?
Any info would be appreciated

The 1.6 HDI is like holding on to a hand grenade with the safety pin removed.

The biggest issue with space is in the boot. Get a folded travel system in there and it's full.

Is there anything specific i need to be wary of/check when buying a 2.0 hdi?
At the moment im stuck between a 206 hdi and an alfa 147 1.9jtd :s

As an Alfa owner ... I'd definitely look at one ... they aren't as unreliable as people say ... mine's a petrol 156 with 195,000 on clock ... miles!
With the 1.9 make sure it has had cam belts changed and water pump ... the pump is the weak link if left beyond the change period too long.
#7: Re: Looking to buy a 206, need advice Author: Iceman29, Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2014 5:57 pm ---- Ideally i'm thinking of sticking with a peugoet hdi as i know the engines are pretty strong.
At the moment my stage 1 306 hdi needs a clutch and i'm not sure if i want to spend £300 for a clutch on a car thats worth ~£700. The 206 would be a nice option. I've been reading a lot about a weird driving position due to offset steering wheel/pedals, is there any truth in that?
#8: Re: Looking to buy a 206, need advice Author: MrWhite, Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2014 5:18 am ---- my 206 2.0 Hdi Glx has 3 3point harness in it just for reference ^_^

Don't find them weird: or even noticed. My old Alfa 75 was worse ...
If you have large feet or wear boots you can catch your sole on the steering column u/j!
I only have a 1.4 HDi Style and I don't find it overly comfortable on very long journeys but that could just be the naff seats it has. I'm used to the Recaros in the Alfa I guess. I may upgrade the interior of the 206 one day ...

That is another thing i'm thinking. The pro's for a 206 would be it looks newer, with the right spec has 3x3point seatbelts, while the 306 is a safer (in terms of knowing it doesnt need anything major doing) but slightly older.
I think i'll be getting the clutch done and will go and test drive/look at a 206 hdi in person and i should realise which i prefer
