1992 Peugeot 106 XSi review from UK and Ireland
"A nippy little go-kart!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New Radiator fitted after the old one burst at 86,000 miles.
Valve stem seals are on their way out (A little smoke when started which clears after a short run).
New rocker cover gasket fitted as old one was leaking.
Rear trailing arm bearings have worn resulting in negative camber and hence uneven tyre wear. New axle is to be fitted.
Knock from front suspension. Possibly from anti - roll bar bush wear.
General comments?
This car handles beautifully and is surprisingly nippy for it's engine size. I have the non - cat model and hence 100bhp. The power is a little lacking below 3000 RPM, but take it past this, and the cars a little screamer! It will rev out to 7200 RPM and love it. You can surprise a lot of people in bigger cars as the good performance and light weight bodywork ensures that you can beat cars of bigger engine capacities. I would say that my 1.4 is comparable to other manufacturers 1.6 hot hatches.
