2001 Peugeot 206 GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Peugeot Mechanics S Hall Rubbish"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Received the car brand new - no problems.
At 4,000 miles indicator stalk did not function - Waited three weeks for replacement and no replacement vehicle had been provided by S Hall Motors Tran mere.
5,000 Miles car received an interim service - Brakes screech after service and steering unresponsive.
Car was returned to S Hall dealer and adjustments where made. Steering sorted out - brake squeal continued. The report given back from S Hall was that compound of brakes have been changed and this was something that could not be rectified/
12,000 miles Engine rattle at 2,500rpm and above - The fault had been diagnosed as the catalytic converter needed a part? Three week waiting time. On top of this I have asked them to sort out the screech on brakes. The car was given back and tried to drive away from forecourt - virtually no brakes. Even though pumping the brake pedal, it did not make a difference. The car was checked again - 15 minutes later the car was returned mentioning everything was sorted. When I returned to my vehicle the same problem was still there.
One of the mechanics came to the vehicle and stated that nothing was wrong with the brakes and it was normal to have your foot literally millimeters away from the foot well.
I would not accept the car back and it is now currently with S Hall motors being looked at again.
General comments?
This is a very good vehicle to own.
Be carefull which dealership you use due to the skills of the mechanics.
Caledonia have been excellent to use.
S Hall are probably the worst after sales dealers I have ever experienced.
