- Bought a CHEAP Peugeot 206 SW 1.4 HDI,.. because it was CHEAP
This video is an introduction into such a mundane and unexciting automobile,.. that I night because it was CHEAP.
Found the rear radius arm bearings to be seized up after being parked up for months. Added a grease nipple and got them moving again with some persuasion
Same process can probably be used on Peugeot 306 or Citroen ZX etc.
You should get ur highest viewing on this one with Nipple in the title !

I'm going to give you the thumbs up because you have given many Peugeot owners a preventative idea. Useful video.
Thanks mate!
Here in brazil, we swap the bearings for friction bushings that go in the space between the trailing arms and the fixed pins
Interesting idea. How well does it work?
to be honest these engines are absolutely amazing. my Citroen C3 1.4 HDI 2006 returns 80 UK mpg or 3.5l/100km AVERAGE fuel consumption. No DPF, no dual mass flywheel bullshit, takes any oil.. etc. If you can, you should keep it as a daily 😎
I was gonna flog it on but it’s turning out to be pretty useful. I was getting about 55mpg but I’m not an economical driver. I’m only getting about 45 now with the MAF unplugged. I’ve got a tuning box to try on it but I wanna get an accurate mpg figure as a baseline.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos i struggle to get down to 45 MPG except momentarily in steep inclines lol, but then again i drive as a hypermiling granny. If you can you should try to find someone with a Lexia machine. that will show you all the stored fault codes. a properly dialed in one of these should return at the very least 55 or even 60 UK mpg average, unless you drive like you're on track every time you take the car out 👍
Tbh even 60 is too low. i drove mine like i was on crack for a couple of months in winter last year and i barely got under 70 UK mpg
@@MT-rc3gn how are you calculating it? I do mainly round town and where I live is speed bumps, traffic and roadworks usually. Since I’ve had it I’ve always got 55mpg but last week only got 45. This is since unplugging my MAF, however I think it’s just a coincidence as last week the traffic was exceptionally bad with a road closed near where I live making the school run a nightmare and we had a couple of days of horrendous traffic cos of accidents. I usually get pretty much the same mpg weekly as I’m very boring and usually do the same journeys. I’ll see how I get on next week.
P.s. unplugging the MAF made the car much more drivable and nippy, well less slow than it was.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos I usually go by what the computer says since it's pretty accurate, but i have also calculated it manually with the trip meter and how much goes back into the tank. my all time best was 1380 km on about 42 liters of diesel (slightly overfilled tank) 😎 Normally the car returns 1100-1150km on 40 liters with another 100km range stated in the computer.. In winter about 950-1000km/40l (swedish winters). If your tyres arent too dry rotted you can try and inflate them to the max PSI stated on the tyre, that will improve MPGs. also accelerate & decelerate slowly and change gear as soon as possible without bogging the engine. Not sure in uk but swedish motorway speed limits are 60mph and if i stay at a calm 55mph in the slow lane with even throttle and flat ground the instantaneous meter shows 3.2l/100km (88 mpg). On 45 mph limit country roads its even possible to get below 3l/100km. Really quite fun to see how low you can press the numbers by just being gentle on the throttle. Also regarding the MAF, i can't say for sure because your 1.4HDI is the 8HX model while mine is 8HZ. there are differences for example your MAF is not the same model as the one in the 2006 C3 1.4 HDI. but i can say that i tried to unplug mine once to see what would happen to the fuel economy. i noticed nothing to be honest.. i still bought a new one and replaced the old one lol.
Nice little mod. Now I know what I'm doing on my low mileage 206sw.
@@Simon-ui6db don’t forget to pump LLOOOOAAADS of grease in
Nice to see you showing Jack some love. I hope the City Bug isn't going anywhere, they're the best vids!! YES
The C1 isn’t going anywhere until it dies 🤣
Pro start in the opening title!!!Peugeot 206 advert back in 2008👌👍
Affirmative! Pretty much all of my video opening title music is somehow, usually in a roundabout way, related to the video content somehow 😂
I preferred the pump, pump it up tune personally 😜
@@davyarthurs 👌👍🤣🤣🤣
Blimey, I wasn’t expecting Indian Bhangra music in the opening title!
206 advert music from back int day!
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos Yeah, just watched the advert on YT, brings back memories! My first car was a 206
This gave me bad flashbacks of changing the axle needle bearings.
Absolute nightmare. Everything was really badly seized, much heat & sledge hammering.
After all the bother, the car still failed mot. The stub axle on one side was pitted so the bearing still had play.
You can't just shake the wheel, like checking a wheel bearing for play. That caught me out.
To check for play in the axle, you grab the inner sidewall with one hand & the outer sidewall with the other. Try & 'twist' the wheel.
Yes, for play in the radius arm you’re basically trying to steer the car with the wheel by hand if that makes sense 😆
As ever sir 🎩, a very informative automative instructional technical video 👍 cap doffed 😁 its good to see you have replaced that silly BMW with a proper car 🤣🤣
You’ll be glad to hear, that I’ve still got the bmw 🙃
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos i am so happy for you 🤣🤣
God that intro song was on the old 206 advert from the 2000's where some Indian made a 206 from an old Morris Oxford on the ad
That’s the one! 🤣
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos are you going to make it into another project car the old 206 sw? It could make some great content, have a look at taking off the EGR on the back of the engine I had that 1.4hdi engine in a Fiesta and it was a pig to get off
@@joebloggs3629 I’ve got a couple of vids planned for it, but I don’t think I’m gonna keep it long.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos I can't wait to see what is coming 👍
The rattling sounds like the heat shields around the turbo/catalyst. My 207 shitter does the same.
It could be partially that, but I think the main noise is from the aux belt tensioner. In tickover it’s bouncing back and forward but stops when revved.
Great idea and considering doing it, BUT the radius arm is hollow so could potentially fill it completely with grease until it reaches the bearings?
Yea there is a lot of room inside. I just pumped a lot of grease in. Hopefully some of it will have made its way into the bearings which I’m pretty sure it will have done
I didn't realise these came with a grass box on the back. Does it have a cutting blade on the bottom too? 😆
The cutting blade only comes on higher power models.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos I suspect a lawn mower is a higher power model 🤔
@@JAYG6390 I suspect most lawnmowers are faster too…
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos There is no doubt in my mind that lawnmowers are faster
Jack identifies as a seagull… that’s nice. who’s Jack?😂
The guy who thinks he’s a seagull 🤷♀️
YES
YES
Pure genius!!!
🏆🏆🏆🏆
Thanks 😀
Think I'm gonna try this on my old clunker 206,can you just clarify the drill bit size you used? (or are supposed to use?) Think you said M8x1.25 mm grease nipple should be a 6.25 mm drill bit? I'm probably stating the obvious but I'm no expert you see,
Cheers!
It depends on the nipple size. These where 8mm thread so 6.2mm hole, but some are 10mm areola, burger nip size which would obviously need drilling bigger.
Ah cheers,I was going to basically just copy your good self (8mm nipple) so now I'm primed and armed with the info I need! Thanks for the reply sir! 👍
Shame you're going to flog it, would make a great project series for more "tasteful" mods 😂.
It’s a good practical car, but I can’t really justify having 3 shitters 😂
jack identifies as a seagull hahahahahahahaha
And we are obliged to address it as such.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos 😅😅
did we just get an accidental face reveal👊🏿
Haha, there’s probably been a few I think tbh. I don’t actually try and hide my face as such,.. I just don’t try to show it either if that makes sense 😂
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos Pretty sure you sold a car to someone on a previous video and we saw your face
Oh well at least now I know if it's stiff you gotta keep pumpin it 😠😡🥴
Every time.
