Warning beep on a Peugeot 206 1.1 2003 ?

Reset the light John:     http://tinyurl.com/ybo9mh6q

T’other John (JayCeeDee) is right, only top range high class motors have Power Steering fluid warning lights and not many of those. But if you do decide to check the PS fluid, do it with engine warm and car on level ground. Don’t worry if it’s a little below level, it won’t matter unless it’s well down.

Good luck and good results from next month’s hospital visits.

Hi John

Was your oil level normal i.e on or near the max line on the dipstick before you added another litre of oil? If so you may have too much oil in there. The original fault could be a faulty oil level sensor as if i remember correctly the service light shows up as a spanner on that car.

Cheers Mark

Iirc the 206 has a small lcd display, think it’s the odometer ect.. On that screen you get a service spanner when it’s needed. It’s just a button combo you cancel it like on all cars.

I mention this, so you can rule out it being a service reminder.

If you have checked the oil, and the light stays on then your oil is fine, and that will be a sensor issue. The beeping, im not sure off. But I think the 206 beeps when you leave the key in and open the door, or if you leave the lights on when you remove the key.

Is the beep like them beep tones? (not sure if the pug has more than one tone. My car has a few all annoying tones.) if so the beeb may also be a sensor issue.

Saying that of youre getting more than one sensor issue, it may be down to being not a faulty sensors, but fault in reading of them.

In the same spirit of fixing a rattle by turning the radio up (you can have that tip for free lol), I’d simply find the buzzer and snip the wire. It would cost to much to trouble shoot.

What is a cheap way for you to troupe shoot is by getting a cheap obd2 adapter, and via your phone reading the fault codes. (2 to 5£ on eBay and Amazon)

I’d of sent you mine, but I lent it my brother in law and he went to Afghan!

Corrosion/bad earthing can really screw up sensors, and is something to investigate if more than one sensor is involved.

Agreed, wiring or earth are most likely with a dodgy sensor as a runner up issue.

Sounds like the garage messed something up, probably something simple like a loose connection that could be rubbing on the steering column. Total guess.

Whatever the problem is as it started after the work was done by the garage they have to foot the bill. Unless they can prove you did something, prove is the key word.

That is an ongoing problem JB. First a leak, then 2 oil switches, then the light coming on. If all of that had come into my workshop (and similar problems did) I would be investigating the housing that the switch screws into. A repeated problem in the same place? I would be digging deeper, had it appeared in my workshop. I would first check the condition of the threads in the housing and the switch, also the condition of metal surfaces between housing and switch. Depends whether they “find” another cause, be sharp with them: why was this not picked up before?

Good luck.

John I found this, which might help you find what all your warning lights mean:

There is a possibility that your problem may be a dashboard fault, in what I think is a PCB behind the dash (so long since I worked on this stuff!) Reason why I say that, is the Brake warning light flashing. Those mean a problem with brakes, have you had any problems during braking? Any grinding noises from the front disc brakes, pulling to one side on braking?

Hi John

Did you get it it fixed and find out what the problem was?
