2001 Peugeot 307 Reviews

Clutch had to be changed almost at every year, as well as brake pads and discs.

At 50k, had to change catalytic converter kit, which cost me £800 (anti pollution fault).

CV joints and wheel bearings needed changing quite often.

At approx 90k, the gear box went, a bad grinding noise when in gear.

At the same time, the drive shaft went, causing car to shake and wobble when driving above 50mph.

Needed new a exhaust, and new cooling fan motor.

As you can see, within the short space of time I have had the car, I could have bought a new car with all the money I spent on the repairs.

The car does run economically; a full tank can do me approx 400 miles on both motorway and high street.

Was easy to manage, and drove very well.

Comfortable seats.

Horn rarely works.

Anti pollution system fault light comes on intermittently and results in a sudden loss of power.

Indicators change direction without prompting.

Acceleration sluggish.

Advised my Peugeot dealer of the anti-pollution warning and he charged me £50.00 to check the car, only to advise that a repair would cost approx £3500.00 for a full replacement of the fuel system. Something about a breakdown of the high pressure fuel pump resulting in metal fragments contaminating the whole system.

I drove the car away as quickly as it would allow. Since the weather has improved and become a little warmer, the fault has vanished. I've lost all confidence in the car and I'm looking to part-exchange as soon as possible.

Oil leak from gearbox.

Magnets and solenoids faulty from new.

Peugeot have not replaced small incorrect size magnets with the correct size.

Clunky jerky while increasing and decreasing speed.

This Peugeot 307 is not a safe car at any speed.

Uneconomical to drive.

Too many problems to list here.

Rear absorbers ware very bad- changed immediately.

Trunk cant be opened because of bad water isolation at the handle.

Engine start wire losing contact sometimes- changed the whole box.

Acceleration is great, fuel consummation is about 6,5l open combined driving.

The car is a little hard, but I like it becauseit's 'stuck' with the road.

Losing brake fluid rapidly at 34000 miles.

Door trim comes off in hand when you open passenger door.

Service indicator shows 5000 miles one day, 9000 miles next day, 4000 miles next day and so on.

Indicators turn them self off before you have turned.

The car drives great and handles well.

The problem is you get to the stage of being scared to drive it as you wonder what will fall of it next and how much it going to cost this time.
