2002 Peugeot 206 review from Australia and New Zealand
"A lemon, avoid at all costs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oxygen Sensor failed at 35,000km.
Brake discs required replacement at 40000km.
Automatic transmission failed at 50,000km.
General comments?
All of the above failures were outside the very limited warranty period and quite expensive to repair.
The transmission failure has rendered the car useless and Peugeot Australia are refusing to accept any responsibility or to provide any assistance.
This transmission problem is well known among transmission repairers and exchange transmissions are expensive and difficult to locate.
