Central locking failure on Peugeot 206's
Jon
Does anyone know if there is a known defect with the central locking system
of the Peugeot 206. Mine is a 98 XS and the central locking has just packed
in at about 20K miles (by packed in I mean it immediately unlocks itself
when locked). My Dads 206 GLX had exactly the same thing happen to it at
about the same mileage.
This seems far too much of a coincidence and it must have happened to other
people.
I'd like to know if it has happened to anyone else before Peugeot try and
charge me an extortionate fee to have it fixed.
Thanks

They changed the necessary parts no questions. Definitely a known fault.

for my boot.
Granted, I have a Peugeot 306 D Turbo, but the central locking is just the
same. I now have a 106 central locking mechanism in my boot. All that
happened to me I there was a little cog in the mechanism which had snapped.
The thing is that it caused my boot to be totally immoveable. Now working
fine.
If I where you I would check inside each of the central locking things to
see if any damage is caused.
Ask yourself, does the central locking not work when locking all doors? Does
is not work only when you use the button on your key?
Anyway, whatever the problem is, DON' T buy the parts or part needed from
peugeot.
Central locking mechanism for my boot was quoted at £42.50 from Peugeot.....
cost me £10 at the scrap yard.
I know this hasn't answered your question properly, but I hope in some way
it may help.

It won't lock whether you use the remote control key fob or the key in the
door (any door!) itself.
It's annoying cos I really like the car, unfortunately as things keep
breaking on it I think it's unlikely I'l be buying another Pug.

the 306, peel the rubber seal back from the connector at the door and see if
any wires are broken - drivers door is the usual suspect

Same happened on my 1999 206 GTi. Motors in the front doors were replaced
under warrenty. As a temp messure press the button on the key five times.
After that the key will not operate the doors remotely for several seconds.
Lock the front doors with the key in the lock then press the button again.
This should then lock the boot. The dead locks/alarm can then be activated
with the smaller button.
