1995 Peugeot 306 XN review from Germany
"Terrible car which is a pity, because it looks quite nice"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Coolant leak at 45000km.
Axle stabilisers broken at 50000km.
Unreliable brake system, front brake-callipers appear to jam when the brake discs have warmed up - resulting in continuous squeaking discs when driving!
Driver's seat covering is slowly coming off.
Coolant leak at 85000km.
Odometer failed at 85000km.
Rubber axle-sleeves burst at 10500km.
Electric sun-roof fails to close properly in hot weather.
Headlight adjustment motor fails to work properly in cold weather.
Starting problems in damp weather.
General comments?
This is my first and last Peugeot!
