2005 Peugeot 307 cc from UK and Ireland - Comments

Bought my 307cc new in August 06, ESP warning light has a mind of its own, driver's window does not always go up/down using the door switch, band changer on the radio does not always work.

Worst of all the boot refused to lock, meaning I could not close the roof or lock the car, dealer was totally disinterested but did finaly agree to have look. Advised me that bolts in the folding roof had worked loose, he fixed the problem using "lock-tight"!! Now the boot doesn't open /close properly. If only I had the faith to take it back to the dealer yet again!! But for all that I love my 307.

I purchased a 307cc with my girlfriend just recently (Dec 08). It's a fab looking car, but it has its annoying faults which the garage can't sort because they are intermittent.

The main one which is getting us down, is it only starts up on three cylinders most of the time when it's cold, which in turn brings up the ECU warning light saying cat failure, emissions failure, which disappears after a day or so.

Also the roof sounds noisy.

Would not recommend anyone buying a pug again.

Had a new 307 from new 06, always purchased 206s and they have been fantastic, but went for the the larger 307s, well wished I had read the reviews before!!!

Thought it was just a Friday afternoon car, but it has faults everywhere; 12000 miles on clock for 3 years (4000 per year), anti pollution light, what a pain, has been in 11 times for various faults and the famous download needed to clear it. Guess what, it's going in again!!

Now the seat belts don't retract, the key doesn't work, the head gasket is leaking, windows have a mind of their own. Shall I go on??

By the way, the dealer has been superb in trying to sort it, so no problem there, just a crap car. Will get rid as soon as the deal comes to an end.

Bought this car new in 06, and the minute the warranty ran out, I have had nothing but trouble.

The ESP light also cost me €400 to fix, except it didn't fix it and the problem has happened 3 times since.

Then my main problem is about every 3 months it just won't start. De-pollution sensor shows and after a day or two or maybe a few hours it will just start again. Garage (main dealer) says it cannot figure out fault! At my wits end. Does any one else have this problem or knows what I should do?

I bought my 307cc 2.0l in 2005 new and have had nothing but problems since!

All same problems as above really; windows have a mind of their own as do the headlights (and I don't even have automatic ones!). Constantly smells funny as it leaks so often - completely agree about having a wet right leg every time I open the door! I've had the power steering break, the window problem which wasn't covered by the warranty - apparently just the way convertibles are designed!?!? Then the window motor broke, £400 to fix!

Just had it MOT'd 4 weeks ago and it's back in the garage this week needing new brake pads and discs, new clutch, new exhaust, new anti-roll thing (???), ESP button is being investigated as I keep getting an error message, windows are being fixed again and new brake fluid. And to make it even better, I've been told it's going to cost me just over £2,000!

I WILL NOT BUY A PUG EVER AGAIN!

I have a Peugeot 307CC bought new in 2004, and I've had most of the problems other people have had, but I have another one too! Why does the computer in my car keep crashing and going back to zero??? Sometimes when I start the car it really struggles to start, and this is when the computer goes back to zero. Yesterday it did it about 3 times in one day! Anyone have any ideas please?

I have a pug 307cc new since 2006. Had a few minor electronics covered by the warranty plus the leak from the roof covered by the warranty.

Loving the car because it is really stylish, but not really satisfied by the reliability, which is average.

My 2005 307cc mileage 23,000 with leather seats and dash. The leather on the dash has shrunk to the point that the stitching as come apart round the air bag and vents; is this a common fault??

1. Slightly leaking roof when washing under pressure with brushes. I can live with this.

2. Steering wheel vibration after 80 km/h - this one is terrible and I cannot fix it. Wheels balancing doesn't help. Official PUG garage cannot do anything about it.

3. Exhaust pipe gone after 5 years and new one cost 800 euros.

Reading faults in this forum, I would like to sell the car before they start happening, and never buy PUG again.

Although I really like exterior, interior and performance of the car :(

I love my 307 cc, but after only owning it for 5 weeks the roof jammed. I got that fixed and dealer was very helpful.

I now have the problem of the 0 button being stuck in and can't open my boot. Can anyone tell how to sort it out???

55 plate 307 - 4 yrs old so why am I told it has a major engine failure - cost to strip engine to diagnose will be 1150 pounds!!! Customer care don't want to know!!!

I didn't get an extended warranty as garage doesn't sell them - and mechanic there said engine will make 150,000 miles, how wrong, mine has 70,000 miles and it's very poorly.

Windows have always had a mind of their own - window button replaced once - and in need again - the rain gets in it!
