1994 Peugeot 306 XT review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Failed oxygen sensor (3 times).
Alarm key fob broken.
Battery tray cracked.
Flat battery.
Loose suspension top mount.
Coolant leak from thermostat housing.
Total engine rebuild at 22,000 miles.
General comments?
If the car functioned as it was designed to do, it would be lovely, the ride and handling are excellent. However the car has been nothing but trouble since it was purchased, with a whole catalog of failures, and no help or interest from the Peugeot dealer from where it was brought. Legal action was threatened and trading standards were involved when the engine failed at 22,000 miles, a total engine rebuild was given by Peugeot, eventually. A nice car, shame about the unhelpful dealer and poor build quality.
