Just bought a 206cc

Post by Applecross »

We drove down from Inverness to Alexandria as we had found a very low mileage 206cc for sale. 21000 miles, all MOT's with mileage. year forst registered 2006. Drove it back last night and it drove beautifully. My wife had been looking for a car and this just fit the bill perfectly. I have been told to check the hydraulic reservoir for the roof, havn't found it yet, where is it? The, I think engine management box, on the left of the engine compartment just in front of the offside strut was wrapped in a black plastis bag. Is this getting wet a problem? I've taken the bag off and fashioned a cover for it from a plastic container cut to fit. Ny replies with information :love-thx:

Welcome to the forum.
Hydraulic tank is behind the carpet in the boot. Look ahead and to the right, you will see a white plastic guide that accepts an allen key. That is part of the pump.

I wouldn't advise enclosing the ECU as any condensation trapped will cause problems
Cheers Col.

Great advice. I havn't enclosed the ECU just made a plastic shield over the top and down two sides. Plenty of air can get rouns it. Found the tank.
