1991 Peugeot 205 XRD 1.7 diesel

Summary:

An excellent low maintenance city car

Faults:

Front right fork had to be replaced on 180 000 km.

Front suspension rubber parts make unpleasant noises in dry weather, I have tried to add some grease, helps for some time.

Breaks renewed on 120 000 km.

Fuel preheater caused problems with air in the fuel, I by-passed it and had no problems since.

General Comments:

Good, reliable, gives about 20 km/l, (5l/100km), never failed me or left me on the road.

Performances are satisfactory, we are talking about 1800 cc, 65 HP diesel!!

Very silent, especially in comparison with my previous car.

I often forget on which side is my fuel tap...:)

An overall pleasure to drive.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
