does anyone know about or have any info on p206 gran turismo's? my sister is interested in one that has come up cheap (i think)..Ł1300..she knows it needs an engine mount and something else, but body in good condition..i will be going to check it over if she thinks its ok..anything in particular to look for apart from it being peugeot ha..also the seller says it is 140 brake, is this correct? as i thought they were more powerful than that..any help appreciated

 

Just a normal 206 GTi with a different kit on iirc. Not to be confused with the GTi 180 mind.

 

anyone else please? ive heard the 180 suffer with gearbox problems, do the normal ones aswell?

 

Friends got a 2000 'X' Reg 206 GTi and its starting to give her a lot of hassle, the mileage is just over 100k and its needing a H/G, the climate control occasionally works and the suspension is shagged.

To be fair, the car is absolutely standard and she's given it a reasonably tough time for the past 25k miles.... but I think its time left on the road is very limited.


Cheers,
Grant

 

I bought one to sell on, they aren't anything special but are ok. Slow. Parts are cheap for them, I broke up a 206 GTI a couple of years ago and sold the engine (with all ancillaries), gearbox and driveshafts for something silly like Ł150.

 

so are the interiors and wheels etc the same? any other differences between the two apart from the bumpers? thanks

 

no differance in them apart from the bumpers the rear axalles are prone for collapsing third gear normally gives up water pump leaks every 30 to 40,000 miles & head gasket exauhst manifolds crack and gives off a vibration that gets annoying thats all i can think of at the moment its been a whike since iv worked on them

 

mate had a non-180 gti with gearbox problems so probably isnt only the 180s with issues

 

The front seats have side airbags, think thats about it for differences.
