Hi,
I just traded in my 206 1.6 which I bought in 2002. Yeah, it's not
the 1.4 that's available now. I think the engine I had is the same
as yours, unless u got the 2.0 version.
I wrecked the gearbox on that one. Sure, I was a heavy-footer, but
I later found out there may have been another reason that the
gearbox failed.
AutoFrance does not change the transmissioin fluid for the gear box
at all. When I said this was strange, they just said that that's
the instructions they got from Peugeot, although when I was having
the problem, one of the things they did was to change the
transmission oil. And the guy even told me that the fluid that came
out was black.
So my advice is this: get the transmission fluid changed
(preferably before 3 years).
Oh, and if your gearbox fails, AutoFrance will tell you that they
do not do overhauls on gearboxes. So they can only replace a new
one for you at $13,000! Yeah, they'll also tell you they can get a
recon one at $9,000, but these prices did not make financial sense
to me.
At the end, I did an overhaul outside to the tune of $2,500.
Unfortunately, the gearbox failed again after 6 months. That's when
I traded in my car. Was driving a Renault before the Peugeot. I
loved the 206 for its style and responsive auto transmission. Now
I've finally gone Japanese
