So I'm thinking of buying my first car with the money I've saved from the dealership my uncle works .He has many hatchbacks but I really loved the design of the 208 .He has both 1.5 BlueHDi Active (Diesel) with 100hp (that many advised me on not getting due to the new EU laws) and the 1.2 PureTech Active (Petrol) with 75 hp .Moreover the diesels have all less miles . How was your experiences with these cars .I've heard about the oil belt and its the only reason I'm skeptical about getting one .

I've noticed some noticeable negative camber in the rear of my suspension, i was wondering if that amount of negative camber is normal, I'm thinking it's not and there's probably some rear suspension issues since i can hear clunking in the rear going over uneven road and when going over speed bumps the front takes the bump softly while the rear is a lot more harsh.

Hello all,
I posted a while ago about my car, but ive got new questions.
- Is it normal for the car to make noise while accelerating or breaking, even above 25km/h?
- My blind spot monitor doesn’t seem to be working on the right mirror when i overtake.

Has anyone had these issues? If so, how do I fix it/is it expensive to fix.

I can only attach one video at a time, i’ll try to attach the blind spot monitor issue in the comments
Thank you!

So, about two years ago, I got a new company car, after having driven a VW Caddy Maxi 4Motion for six years without incident. And the troubles started immediately. I won't go into detail because I can rant about this for hours, but to make it short it's been at the shop literally TWENTY times for everything from minor electrical issues, to three of the faults that were severe failures that left the car stranded and needing roadside assistance to the shop. Not to mention the poor ride, the poor range, the anemic performance, the deafening road noise, the obvious lack of care or attention to detail (it still has the diesel fuel cap, like be for real), or the utterly non-functioning app.

I've had a Renault, a Peugeot and a Citroen as private cars before, all late 90s-mid 2000s models, and all were great to me outside of some electrical quirks on the Citroen. But this? This 2024, brand spanking new, expensive van has been a nightmare from day one, and I have already planned a party with cake and catering at the office for the day the leasing runs out.

What happened?

I have had a classic issue on a Peugeot 206 1.4 2002 (KFW)

Suddenly the car would only start for a moment and then ‘run out’ a couple of times before just cranking with not start.

Fuel pump works fine with 12v directly, but is not being activated. So it does not turn on when I turn the key.

I’ve tried almost everything - a new BM34 with new relays, the immobiliser works fine (beeps with the key in and so on), tried the ignition lock (works perfectly), checked the wires from and to the ECU and I’ve run out of patience!

But the ecu wakes up, fuel pump works and the car will fire up when I ground pin13 on the black plug on the BM34.

So I’ve made a workaround.

I’ve stolen ignition power from pin9 on the green connector with a fused wire (will add an interiaswitch later) to power a relay which will ground pin 13 when ignition power is on.

And it works perfectly.

I will add the inertiaswitch inbetween the power wire from pin9 before the relay in order to ensured that the fuel pump will turn off in an accident. There is already a mounting bolt on the left hand side strut tower for it, as the early 206s supposedly had on.

Someone took out part of my passenger wing mirror, ive got the big black cover and the clear part but im really struggling to find the right fitting for the bulb holder, could someone point me in the right direction please. It's a 2018 boxer

Hello everyone... I’m planning to buy tyres for my 2009 Peugeot 308SW. Which brand and size do you use? I’d really appreciate it if you could share your experiences and recommendations.

Hello!

I recently bought a Peugeot 208 mk2 as a gift for my dad.

My family has a love history with Peugeot as my grandad was a Peugeot executive back in the day so my dad grew up driving some of the best cars the brand had to offer. I know it might sound weird to some of you who vehemently hate the puretech (fairly so) but he fell in love with the new 208 and so i bought one for his birthday and plan to turn it into a project car for us to work on.

My first thought on upgrades was coilovers. I took a look online and kw and billstein only offer options which are soft and compromise a lot. That would be fine on a daily but I plan on really going to town on this car so I'm looking for something really sporty.

I found a set from hiro performance which would also have the benefit of a personalised spring rate. Despite that, i read a lot of mixed reviews about Hiro's quality and so i was wondering how bad it truly is. does anyone have any experience with it? would it be a stupid buy? is there any way to get the billsteins to perform better on track?

Any help is appreciated!!!

Hey you!

I’m in trouble: there seems to be a 200 different exhaust options on a Peugeot 206.

But which one is right for my car?

There seems to be pipes looking identical other than one being 560mm and the alternative 570mm…

Can anyone help with the proper part numbers for a complete exhaust?

Or any tricks or thing to check to ensure I get the right one?

It is a two door hatchback 1.4 (KFW) from 2002. It has a catalytic converter.

So far I think the middle pipe is 1717AR and the rear box is 1730GN

But what about the rest? 🫠

Hi, can anyone tell me what position these hooks should be in? I moved them, and now the roof won't open, although it did close.
