Check list for new 206 owners when sign off new car from SA.

Document details: with the car, such as the:
Chassis number,
Engine number,
Gearbox number (this one a bit hard to find).

Then check the accessories and functions of the car such as:
Audio player,
Tires (check out the make/model as well),
Dashboard buttons, side mirror controls,
Glove compartment.
Door panels by opening and closing,
Does it make any weird noise or does the door slam with a 'thud!' or a 'twang!’
Door lock / unlock button.
Remote control function.

Exterior
Check the paintjob,
Check for any dents, scratches,
Spare tires,
Side mirrors, fog lamp (if any).

Next, turn on the engine then open the hood.
Check water levels,
Check the radiator,
Check the temperature level,
Check the radiator fan.

Then turn off the engine and test the central locking/alarm system.

Fuel level.
Odometer to see how far your car has been driven.
If its more than 100km, might want to ask your salesman why,
Cos sometimes they use runners to pick up your car from the depo.

On Bestari it states the recommended tires pressure to be 2.4bar (35 PSI).
Recommended around 29 - 31 PSI.

Check the power steering fluid too.

These compile from 206 forum feed backs from experience owners.

Any 206 sifu here wanna add for new owners benefit pls welcome to amend or add anything in.

I experienced de same thing i sent over to warranty check and tat guy were telling me this version the connectors are abit on the upper side, wat u need to do is to press firmly upwards(or push upwards). The only thing not satisfied is the horn sounded like "bapuk". guess tat i need to change to more powerful ones.

Really bapuk sound, change it to the bigger Peugeot horn if can get anywhere, i might do that soon.
another thing I don't know if you all bend down looking at the bottom of the car, I wash cars if time permits me I do also the floor board bottom, what I found out was at the rear where they link both wheels that part was all wet with black oil even the front I think try to cover rust metal main parts as I know this car is not protected by so call rust treatment black as most cars and that is bullshit too. I uses sponge and my sponge blacken by oil but nothing drops on the floor, looking at it it was sprayed to protect but messy it... I will check when I send for service and check at the place where I bought, on other cars if any there. I tried to open all tyres I just can do only one as others all jamb even you kick will never move, as the cars are park at open at the factory as seen from May 2008 after assemble it stuck at the centre so got to get tyre shop to open it.
Check yours.

I think this car does'nt come with anti rust but they want to cover those part as I open the tire on one side saw the heavy duty part rusty surface but its ok, where it was not sprayed. I willopen all tyres soon to check thru and see what can be done as its messy lah.

alhabshi,

this car of course come with anti rust. if not the paint will all bubble out, kikikiki...

it is best so say what you mean correctly....

some exposed cast iron parts seem to be not treated with anti-rust thou.
personally, i think this is not a big issue as it might be standard practice across all manufacturers.

it just that the rust were more prevailing for certain bestari (affecting certain exposed parts) since the car (rather old stock) had been reported to be left idle in open stockyard for a long time, resulting in all the rust. Over time of extended usage, the rust will 'go away'....

and this rust is not the deep-rooted / crispy rust that you normally seen in door panels of 15-years old car.

this is more like surface-only rust that have no impact except being an eye sore.
