1991 Peugeot 405 mi16 review from Australia and New Zealand

"The MI16 is an under estimated, high quality, very rewarding vehicle"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The exhaust gasket from the manifold to the first pipe was replaced.

Auto-diagnostic light appeared indicating a simple fuel fault. Computer was reset.

Power steering judders and noisy on stationary steering wheel turns.

Stop light appears relating to the engine not reaching running temp, but the engine is at running temp so the problem is at the sender switch.

The anti brake lock system does not appear to work correctly.

Dash board squeaks and rattles.

Small bore cooling system hose punctured.

Revs are slow to return to idle speed.

General comments?

If this car is owned and driven by an enthusiast they will love every second of its aesthetics and it's drive.

The car's performance from standing is average, but once moving, its power band provides sensational performance.

To compliment its engine performance, the car handles with pin-point accuracy.

Seats and upholstery are high quality and their design has obviously been given good consideration.

The car has a large and useful boot space with an opening through the rear seat for skis etc.

An extremely compact engine compartment can often increase service labour costs.

The dash board an internal fittings are thin plastics and become squeaky and rattle as the vehicle ages.
