Got a flat tire on my new motor, unbeknown to me iv'e inherited bloody locking wheels nuts on it too and as per usual no key, after a couple of minutes of some harsh driving with the rest of the wheel nuts removed it was still solid. 37218031_10157665858567222_2397236859550826496_n.jpg Introduced it...

Its a tilt switch that sits near to the brake light in the boot lid.

Have someone open the roof and look inside the boot when the lid opens,
as it tilts the opposite way like this there's no way it should be on.

I've done this oh every bloody time i'm closing it, even after 3 years go to get out and suddenly get what feels like an axe wound above my right temple

Piss poor safety feature that, wasn't very well thought out.

You only get the "bong" when you open the latches to open the roof, and when the roof has finished closing to let you know its done. It will be a faulty switch not actuating to tell the roof if its completed a stage or not. On a side note the roof switch will open all 4 windows to lower bu...

Have you got pp2000 and the proper diag machine? Without it you are probably just wasting your time and could actually trigger the system to fire :!: Most airbag faults are because of the comm2000 thing which houses the indicators and wipers as it has a spool that operates like a tape measure. Turn ...

Probably aged bags brought on by all the severe heat we've just had, they're only good for 10 years apparantly.

Yes it was an option, i've just bought a 2003 2.0 16v thats got it and my 2002 2.0 thats now off the road permanently has it too. However the OP seems to have a 1.6 and i'm not sure about that spec. Untitled-1.jpg I mentioned it because the OP has driven it with a broken drive belt which will have p...

I've not had this problem with my 206 but I had a 605 with variable power steering for years that used to do exactly what you described. This is almost certainly down to the rack itself or the pinion part where the magic happens anyway. It contains a very complex system of clever valves and seals th...

For future reference and sorry to the op as i've only just seen this but if you put spring compressors on the struts to squash the springs on the strut it will allow you to easily remove the bottom arm as it will lift up, you have to leave the top connected for this to work and space is limited but ...

Not that I've noticed, why? The boot lid is monitored and will affect roof operation over 8mph. That switch inside the boot lid is a tilt switch and its just for the boot light. Sounds to me like its the boot latch switches, the second photo is blank but im guessing its supposed to be the latch in ...

while driving with it down I start getting a warning tone of three rising notes in a row - kicks in at about 10mph. When I then come to a stop and try to raise the roof, it doesn't move and just makes that same three note beeping sound. Does your speedo work properly? Does the needle ever jump slig...

That's strange the roof ecu takes its speed reading directly from the speed sensor

Sure the car is located in worksop notts, it's got the 2 litre (137 bhp) gti engine as standard just wont start, cream leather interior, roof works perfect, it has fog lights, tires are like new all round DSC_0083.jpg Right i've had the pump out, its not working with direct power to it and its gone ...

Pushed in onto the garden as its sorned,breaking for spares now and god rest the pile of shite, its developed so many faults since christmas that kept random starting to work again like the horn, abs faults, alarm, responce to the keyfob (but always turned the alarm off when it sounded though), cent...

I mean take it off and get it repaired you could buy a 2nd hand one and have it gassed to find it has the same problem
