What follows is our quick reference guide to many of the recommended routine maintenance tasks for the Peugeot 206, most of which you can do yourself at home. You no longer have to do a service every 6 months or change the oil every 3 months, but regular fluid changes are still essential to your Peugeot 206’s longevity. Modern cars like the Peugeot 206 need much less maintenance than the vehicles of 25 years ago, but they still have needs. Wondering when to change the oil or what type to use in a 2002-2009 Peugeot 206? Perhaps you're trying to find out how often to change the fluids, what the service intervals are or check the brakes and perform other common jobs? Haynes has all the routine maintenance answers. But the 206 is still a good looking thing and is cheap to run - it's the ideal first car. It's a supermini, so it's never going to be the most practical of cars, but even so there's not much legroom for rear passengers. Despite the 206 being fairly well equipped, there lots of cheap plastics inside and and driving position is fairly uncomfortable. The 1.1 petrol is fairly lethargic but the rest are up to the job of town driving, while the 2.0 litre units make the 206 feel comfortable at motorway speeds.
The 206 came with a variety of petrol engines: 1.1, 1.4, 1.6 and 2.0 litre, plus 1.4 and 2.0 litre turbodiesels. Fortunately, despite the new supermini having a few flaws, potential customers fell in love with its slick styling and the 206 flew out of showrooms. The 2002-2009 Peugeot 206 was tasked with a seemingly impossible job when it launched: to continue where the amazing 205 left off.
