How to change your front light globes on your 206

How to get rid of that irritating engine cover buzzer.

The following instructions, in only 4 easy steps are regarding getting rid of that irritating buzzing sound generated by the engine cover after 3000 km from new.

The buzz comes up at about 2800 revs, where the engine shakes at such a rate that the cover starts resonating against the camshaft cover underneath it.

 

The remedy is simple and doesn’t cost a thing!

All you need is a side cutter, a knife and a short piece of electro wire, preferably a 4 qmm with a Ø 3 mm isolation.

1.       Release the six screws situated on top of the engine cover, by turning them 90 degrees.

Take of the engine cover and turn it around its front edge, so the underside is facing you, with the filler hole on your right.  

 

2.       Strip off three 10 mm pieces of isolation of the wire and cut them lengthwise, so you’ll end up with a C.

 

3.       Put the first one on the rim of the filler hole. See picture.

 

 

4.       Put the second one three ribs to the right of the filler hole, in the middle between the two longitude ribs. See the picture.

 

 

5.       Put the third one left of the cut-out where normally the lift eye comes through. Put it approx. 15 mm from the edge of the cut-out. If necessary you can glue them to the cover using Super-glue.

 

 

 

 

6.       Put eventually the screws back into the east-west direction, put the cover back on the engine and tighten the screws by turning then 90 degrees again.

 

 

 

7.       Now start the engine and be astounded of the silence…
