1989 Peugeot 405 GL review from Israel
"Heavy, slow, gawky, don`t buy it unless you love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Many carb problems.
Engine head is very sensetive to heat, It melted twice.
After all the abuse the engine has passed it`s block finally blew, and I sold it to a mechanic for very cheap.
There were also many problems that I can`t remember, it`s unreliable.
General comments?
The car interior was in good shape, and well kept.
The car is very slow, not just it`s 1.6, it`s also very heavy.
The fuel consumption is high, althaoght it`s only 1.6
The only good thing I can say that it is simple to fix and it has a strong body.
