2000 Peugeot 406 Diesel HDI 110(A/C review from UK and Ireland
"A great family car for the money, spoiled by a soft body shell and expensive faults in later years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In the last year a number of things have started to go wrong with the car involving expensive repairs:
ABS fault.
Air conditioning packed up (replacement £500+)
BSI computer fault requiring replacement (random signals on computer display, e.g. driver's door electric window randomly and regularly opens for no apparent reason and only responds to the door switch to close it after many attempts, signals and beeps from the computer display that passenger door is open and interior lights come on.
Expensive brake assembly replacements one at the rear and one at the front.
One defect to look out for which has been with the car ever since I bought it, are leaks from the roof in the area of the two front visors. They drip when the rain is heavy.
General comments?
This is a great car with a fantastic engine, let down by an increasing number of faults which are expensive to repair.
The body shell is also soft and like many other owners my car has a lot of small dents on the doors.
