Hi,
I have a 2005 206 HDI and I have noticed that if I full the tank and the
current capacity is around the 3/4 tank mark, the needle does not move to
the full mark, it stays at the same position prior to me filling up & the on
board computer does not register or extend /adjust the 'distance to next
refuel' reading.
However, if I fill up whilst the tank is empty, then it moves to the full
mark and then the on board computer registers the fll tank.
When I fill my tank, i full it right to the top.

Is this normal on a Peugeot?

Rgs,
David Reid

I wouldn't have thought that was normal behaviour, no. Sounds like you need
a software update. There were some Volvos that did the same thing and I know
Vauxhall/Opel have had problems with the gauges on Astras of late too.

I have the same on my 407. I found that it has to do with the car
keys. Leave the car keys in (say to have the stereo on for your other
half whilst you fill up) but with the engine off, and it does not
register. You have to turn the car off and remove the keys, then it
re-registers the correct fuel.
