1987 Peugeot 205 Accent review from Netherlands
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The ignition had to be set correctly at 58.000 km.
The fan-motor for the interior (blower) had to be replaced after 50.000 km.
The battery had to be changed at 50.000 (7 years).
The headlights aren't waterproof anymore, but that isn't a serious problem (yet).
General comments?
The car is very reliable.
I choose to have the following :
Battery : 55 AmH (instead of 45)
Oil : Shell Full Synthetic 5W40 (instead of 10W40)
Shock-damping system : Monroe Sensetrec (better and much cheaper than original Peugeot)
The metallic look is much better than not metallic. I have very little problems with rust. (I keep watching!)
