206 diesel - Piggy - 05-08-2014
Looking for a 206 5 door diesel for the mrs.
Not red, not the 1400hdi. Not buggered. Needs some MOT/TAX to drive it away!
Would prefer the 1.9nad, but consider the Hdi.
Let me know if you spot anything or know of anything around
Budget is up to £700max.

Mad bump
RE: 206 diesel - Kezzieboy - 06-08-2014
Out of curiosity, why not the 1.4?
RE: 206 diesel - Piggy - 06-08-2014
Coz its crap
RE: 206 diesel - Kezzieboy - 06-08-2014
In a slightly more constructive manner?
RE: 206 diesel - Piggy - 06-08-2014
Its really, really, really crap.
Better??
RE: 206 diesel - mr_fish - 07-08-2014
Sam Barker has a 2.0HDi I believe
and I have a 1.4HDi and apart from a little sluggish its been a good runner for me 176k miles and just about to have a new style turbo and intercooler fitted.
RE: 206 diesel - Piggy - 07-08-2014
Cant stand the 1.4s. And too early in RnD in the 206 too for my liking.
RE: 206 diesel - jammapic - 07-08-2014
I had a 1.4 TDCi (same engine) in a Fiesta, and did nearly 100,000 trouble free miles. They are not, "crap". Underpowered, yes, with a remap, much better. Not "crap".
RE: 206 diesel - Piggy - 07-08-2014
So crap. So much crap.
So much wears out on them so soon. Too complex for their own good too.
Im sure they are better with a remap but I just cant stand them. Too many nightmare hours in the workshop fixing them
RE: 206 diesel - Frosty - 07-08-2014
You don't back your point up very well piggy. From my experience with them the most 'crap' bit about them is the injector seals
RE: 206 diesel - silverzx - 07-08-2014
The 1.4 HDi in 206's are possibly the best lump Peugeot ever made.
Don't listen to Piggy.
RE: 206 diesel - bashbarnard - 07-08-2014
1.4 is the dv4 lump. Good little lump. Injector seals go and wiring harness along the injectors is a common one ive seen. Both cheap easy diy repairs with a bit.of time. Good luck finding one
RE: 206 diesel - jammapic - 07-08-2014
Lol. I gave up arguing my point because of the childish replies "just crap".
I think they are great little engines, just a bit "flat" from the factory.
Mine with an Intercooler, exhaust, intake and mapping went like a scalded cat.

James out of curiosity did you ever put yours on the rollers and if so what did it make?
Im after a little runaround and these are perfect £30 a year tax, economical and cheap as chips to repair
RE: 206 diesel - jammapic - 07-08-2014
I did. It made 115hp at 1.3bar boost with an intercooler. I think if I'd known then, what I know now it could probably have made a bit more too.

Sounds good for what they are
Cheers
RE: 206 diesel - Niall - 07-08-2014
They are a great little engine. Sounds like you was working on a complete lemon Piggy. Either that or your useless at swinging a spanner :p
RE: 206 diesel - Piggy - 07-08-2014
we had no end of 1.4s, from them fitted to the 206/C3/Fiesta. We even got sent a couple C3s direct from dealer because they had given up.
A friend had one in a fiesta from new...after 6months of constant issues, he asked for another new one, which he got...3months later he traded it in for a different engine/car.
Maybe I have just seen all the crap ones. I do hope they have got better...seems like a decent way to go for cheap motoring.
Anyway...found a 206 now! Just put a deposit on it
