1993 Peugeot 306 XRD review from Netherlands
"Brings you from one place to another in a relatively cheap and comfy way"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 230.000 km it needed some new parts: discs, drive-axle right (the expensive one), hydraulic pump for the power steering (yesterday).
Electrically there were some problems: rear windshield heating relay, head light adjustment motor, dash board lighting.
General comments?
Very comfortable car below 130 km/h, above 130 the engine gets noisy (high revs, relatively short gears).
The car is very boring because of the low performance, but the 1.9 atmo-diesel from PSA is one of the most reliable/durable diesel engines ever made for passenger cars!!
