Good luck. The interior lamp leak should be an easy fix. Loosen the aerial, apply a little sealant, them tighten the aerial back down.

Welcome to 206cc ownership.

Hi guys, I'm a new owner,too, I have a 2.0 206cc and I'm wondering if anyone knows how many litres is the tank?
I've tried to look it up in the manual, but NOTHING!!! Oh and is it possible that the average fuel consumption is 4.9l?? I got it a week ago and I put about 500km in it, and I've made 2 visits to the petrol station.
What do you guys think?
Cheers

See pages 29 and 72. It is mentioned twice in the owners manual. 10.3 gallons (47 litres).

As for fuel consumption, 4.9 l/100km is equivalent to about 57 mpg which is what I get from my Golf diesel. You won't get that as an average from a 2.0 206cc. Expect nearer 35 mpg (8 l/100km) at best. It'll drop to around 25 mpg (11.2) around town We average about 35 mpg overall from our 1.6.

That's good news. Squeaking window? Try a little silicon grease on any edge that makes contact with the guide channel.

Did you fix the leak?
