2001 Peugeot 306 review from Jordan
"I would think twice before buying Peugeot again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew up at 80000 KMS. The overheating that resulted has damaged the cylinders and valves. The car required a complete overhaul, which costs around 1500 USD.
Manual gear performance very poor and not accurate. Needs frequent change and adjustment of clutch disk.
Ball bearings and belts for A/C compressor and dynamo requires change at 60000 kms.
Bad noise results from the gears when reversing.
General comments?
Good performer, especially in hilly roads.
A/C is not effective at an elevated ambient temperature around 40 Deg. C.
