I have a Peugeot 206 diesel and the service log suggests a service is
required every 5000m. I've been doing this for the last 20000 miles that
I've owned the car. Arnold Clark (who have my service contract) would not do
one at 60000 miles as they say the service interval is 12000 miles. If this
is true why are there stamping areas every 5000 miles in the book? Can
anyone shed any light?
Thanks, Bob

I've had problems with Arnold Clark in the past with a company car. Similar
to you - it was an early petrol 1.6 206 and the figures they gave for
servicing were different to those in the book... I went with the book.
Is the 206 you have a 1.9 or 1.4/2.0HDi? I think the 1.9 is 10,000 service
interval but the HDi will likely be 12,000 with 6,000 intermediates (as that
is what my 406 HDi is).
All you can do is tell them what the book states - and if it boils down to
it... fax them a copy. I think that is what the fleet manager ended up
doing in my case.

It gets stranger the more you go in to it. I've phoned Peugeot and they say
themselves that it is 12000 miles. What they can't explain is why there is a
place for a stamp every 5000 miles in their own warranty record book. The
result is that it looks like an incomplete service history

From memory of my wife's 206, petrol jobby, all the internal parts of the
books are the same and they should just fill out the relevant details on the
"fly cover". My V6 book is the same as my wife's book!!!

Maybe not such a bad thing having oil and filters done at 5k intervals but
save your money and go somewhere independent and local for oil changes
etc.
If its privately owned vehicle and you intend to part-ex or sell on at
some point in near future then dealer stamped service book is a slight
plus point. But only take to them at the 12k intervals and save a stack in
the meantime.

my 2.2hdi has service intervals of 12k but the service book has entries
for every 6k, not sure why though, unless the 2.0L petrol version has a
6k service interval ?

It depends on the country your living in, you can imagine drivin it in
a desert area it needs more air filters, if using lower quality feul
your need more oil services, pug arent solely sold in the UK you
know...

But cars sold in dessert areas would presumably have killometer intervals in
there schedules and probably not be in english..

According to my service book they are classed as an Intermediate Service and
as long as the other services are done at Pug garages, they are
complimentary (Page 4 of my book). All they do is a levels check and
top-up.
