Which Repair Manual ?

Post by trufflehunt »

I need a repair manual CD/DVD for my 2000 HDI (110).

Just been looking on eBay and there are various....

Some just say for 206 and 406. Some say for 4 or 5 Peugeot models.

Has anyone bought any of these?

Are they in fact all the same disc?

Are they all copies of the Peugeot dealer workshop manuals?

Or are there some to watch out for, and give a miss ?

Got any links? The 206/406 one is useless, I don't know about any of the others.

The first 2 are the 206/406 again, I'm not sure what the 3rd is, apart from cheap enough to take a punt on to find out...

Thanks , yes.., that's pretty much what I thought too. I'll go for that one.

I bought the manual in the 3rd link above.

Not very good as far as i can see.

The 406 is grouped in with the 206.., so think it's really just the same as the other 2 links.

Very diagrammatic, and the truncated English looks like it's been translated..., from French presumably.

Completely un-intuitive.

It's just a parts guide, unless you download the back-up.

It has "repair procedures", I can't say I've seen much on it, although I've only ever looked at it for stuff that's not in Haynes...

The 206/406 is what most of them are and a lot of the sections in it are missing. I bought an all models one and it never worked right, most of these repair manuals on a cd that come off ebay are rubbish.

Just got he 3rd one on the list in the post. For £2.97 inc. postage it's hard to call it a rip off. But it does just seem to be a lot of part diagrams, and part numbers. Depending what you are doing, it could be quite usefull, but as well as Haynes, not in stead of.
For instance, it has told me the routing of the pipe for the rear wash wipe, which is blocked on mine, so now I know where to look for it.
Worth £3? Probably.

Your right Lozz, but he needs to be selling a lot to make any money at £3 a pop.
