1995 Peugeot 605 2.0 SRTi review from UK and Ireland
"Smooth, fast and comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Interior temperature sender unit malfunctioning for climate control. Replaced.
Exhaust blow diagnosed as crack in turbocharger - apparently a common problem. Replaced.
Both engine cooling fans ceased to work. Replaced.
Dampers feeling a little tired - not replaced yet.
General comments?
Very comfortable, quiet and smooth riding.
Mid range performance is excellent with turbo engine. Economy is reasonable at 30mpg.
Handling is very neutral and composed, especially on fast corners.
Major cost is maintenance, as depreciation is nearly zero.
Need to go to Peugeot main dealers for servicing, as many independent Pug specialists have never worked on 605s and don't know what there doing.
