1994 Peugeot 605 SRTI Aut. review from Netherlands
"Best car I ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Every 250 Km the engine would stall and the check-engine LED would come on. When the RPM went below 1500, the LED would go off and all would be normal again. The dealer said that the computer memory was empty. I found the solution on the Internet. It turned out to be the crankshaft position sensor. It has been replaced ($25.00) and now the car runs better than ever before. The computer prevented the RPM from getting over 3000 RPM.
The fuel return line was leaking (in the engine bay where the rubber hose is connected to the metal pipe).
The air intake sensor next to the glove compartment lock makes a humming noise.
General comments?
As a bought the car, the performance was not to bad. After the sensor was replaced, it is very fast. Much faster than the Ford Scorpio 2.4 V6 I owned before.
The car feels solid.
Steering is a bit heavy.
