General Comments

I am a driving instructor and have owned the Peugeot 206 1.9 diesel, a 2001 model for 2 years, it has covered 58000 miles and has a hard life at the hands of learner drivers. I average 2000 miles a month and sadly the car is not up to it. The engine in particular is probably the noisiest diesel I have ever owned and has regular failing of the drive belt bearing(every 6-8 months),this is a common fault on this particular engine. There are several blind spots from the drivers position particularly the windscreen pillars. The front seats just don't last as the springs are not thick enough to supporty an average weight over a period of use and simply compress.The front seat runners occasionally jump causing the seat to move backwards,this is caused by poor manufacturing quality and is common across the 206 range.The front seat belts continually catch in the lever at the side of the front seats. Under the bonnet, the windscreen washer bottle leaks(again a common fault with most Peugeot models)I have had it repaired/replaced on several occasions and have now given up on it.
