Title: Pug 206 door strap. What's happened here?
Post by: Webby the Bear on 12 August 2013, 11:11:19
Hi guys,

my new lady friend has a pug 206. nice car. used to working on them too due to there being 2 in the workshop. however her drivers door swings all the way open. I looked at the door strap and its not connected as per the following photo. I cant work out whether the strap has disappeared in to the door or whether it actually is broken off. any ideas? :)

ps, the piece pn the right coming out of the door moves up and down but wont move at all towards the body.

And they will need a lot of force to pull back out.

The ability to say "No!" to owners of French cars needs to be stronger in him.

I've noticed these French car owners all appear to be female.. methinks Webby is hoping for a very nice 'thank you' ;) ;D

hahaha I service many women......... and their cars haha ;)

just out of interest where exactly has the strap gone? is it some sort of spring on the door end to have it forced back in the door so much?

haha yeah I really gotta say no to French cars. just done the rear brake pads on the scenic. piss easy  :y

Yup, a couple of big ol' springs, like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peugeot-206-Door-Stop-Check-Strap-Front-3DR-5DR-N-S-or-O-S-/281145250777

That should help you visualise what's in there, at least
