1. In the Netherlands Peugeot recommends 5W30 oil as standard. 2. The quick release on the posive battery terminal is designed for quick and easy disconnecting the battery when needed. And in reality it doesn't matter which terminal you disconnect (first), as long as one just is disconnected. 3. And for everyone with a broken lid for the windscreenwasherfluid reservoir: They are available separately at the dealer and pretty cheap.
Thank you heaps, great vid. I had a red STOP light that kept flashing every now and again and only just noticed the center dash was saying low brake fluid.
Thank you once more for another great video! I've checked my car's power steering fluid and it's looks burned out so I think it's time to change it. At the Peugeot's dealer they said that the LDS is for cars with the Hydraactive3 suspension and are recomendig the regular ATF - PSA 730AC. The Haynes manual, as you, also recommends Total Fluide LDS. So I'm a bit confuse about which one to go for. Can you tell how did you find out that the Total LDS is the right one? Thank you very much for your help!
The Haynes manual is very specific with its recommendations but I think they get them from the vehicle manufacturers. I would be happy to go with your Peugeot dealers recommendation. This link shows the steering fluids available for the Peugeot 206 model in this video: www.auto-doc.ie/car-parts/power-steering-fluid-12303/peugeot/206/206-hatchback-2a-c/9465-1-1-i?fromSearch=1
If you give them your car registration number at motor world they will give you the correct fluid as with all car parts just give them the registration hope that helps ❤️💪👍🤔
Hey great video! What is that thing on the left top corner beside the radiator coolant called? Apparently there are three screws on it that came loose and was making a squeaking noise while driving for me so I had to tighten them up, and seemed to fix the problem hahaha
There's no real schedule for changing the power steering fluid but it's probably worth changing it every few years or 70 to 80 thousand miles as contaminants can build up in the fluid which could cause wear on the pump and other components.
I am planning to have a vacation for 20 days. Sometimes my car's radio turns on by its own. I havent take it anywhere to check this issue. So I have no idea whats the reason behind this. I m thinking about removing the battery just in case of (shortcircuit, fire, drained battery e.g.). But I m concerned about the memory of the car. Such as km. (Its important where I live. I have never reset it and it's still under 65.000 km.)
What I read is this: Disconnecting your battery shouldn't affect the odemeter mileage. On some vehicles it might reset your ECU to its factory settings and likely cause it to forget its learned ideal shift points and air-fuel mixture ratios. When you first drive the car, after reconnecting your battery, you could experience rougher acceleration and shifting than usual. Under normal circumstances, you don’t need to do anything else other than keep driving the car. The ECU will eventually relearn its ideal settings and reprogram itself with use.
