eric_the_man Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 This is a very common fault with 206 cc's especially ones made before 02. If this is a car you havent had for long you may not be familiar with the routine. If you are then its likely to be a problem with the car and should be easily fixed. You have to have the windows down and use the roof switch to close the roof. Then you can use window switch to close windows, but I am guessing that this is when you get the beeping so Try pushing upwards and inwards (you will need 2 people so 1 can do this whilst other uses roof switch) on the part where the interior roof ctaches are, as ometimes the lil chip inside comes loose so the roof assumes it isn't fully closed. Another thing to look at is therubbers surrounding the rear of rthe roof, check it hasnt come loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janice P Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Thanks will try this anyway, but it's a 306 not a 206 thanks all the same. Edited April 12, 2012 by Janice P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebasher Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 206 and 306 are very different beasts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_the_man Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 i think you will find the electrics are similar mate and so are the problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shims Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 No such thing as a 306 Coupé so I assume it's a 306 convertible/ cabriolet.

neeeeeeeeeek Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Did you not see it working when you bought the car? Did you get it from a garage or a private sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janice P Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yes it was a private sale and yes he did make the roof work but he had to pull it as he said it had the wrong size battery in the engine and the key fob needed a new battery. I bought a brand new £50 battery and a battery for the key. BUT this then didn't work so I have been on loads of websites and got an exact remedy off a kindly gentleman off preloved who told me how to reset the hood winder that is in the boot and hey presto it's working. but thanks for the suggestions and if anyone else comes across this problem I can save them loads of money as I was told it would cost between £400-£600 at peugeot dealers.
