1994 Peugeot 405 STi review from UK and Ireland
"Comfort, power, fully loaded yet practical a true all rounder"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS sensor light intermittently coming on, when on front/right wheel will lock up under heavy breaking.
Coolant pipe split 180 miles from home first day I drove it.
Rear window heater not functioning.
Common 405 fault, excessive wear on outside edge of front tires.
Catalytic converter sounds ominous, hole developing.
Power steering cuts out some times though possible reason being the 17"x225's. under too much pressure at slow speeds.
General comments?
This car was previously owned by a friend who kept it immaculate.
Quick off the mark, power band between 3000rpm and 5200rpm.
141mph my personal best.
Handling is both responsive and accurate for a front wheel drive family saloon.
Mine is metallic charcoal with pro tinted windows, sitting on 17's with the spoiler it looks a beast.
