2005 Peugeot 307 HDI S review from UK and Ireland
"Very poor for a car 10 months old - not worth th hassle or risk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the car from new 10 Months ago. These are the problems I have experience so far;
Faulty electric wing mirror on the driver side.
Faulty CD player - the 6 CD interchanger randomly refuses to play CDs.
2 product recalls.
And, the most recent and more serious of the problems is ongoing. 6 weeks ago a 'Depollution System Faulty' message appeared on the dash. I took it to a local dealership who after 2 weeks, lots of testing and replacing several parts (after seemingly fixing the problem, they took it for a testdrive and the fault returned) they told me the problem was sorted after replacing the turbo.
2 weeks later the same fault appeared on the dash and so back it went to the dealership who again replaced the turbo and told me the problem was fixed. yesterday, 2 weeks on driving from the south cost to the midlands - at the start of the journey the car was far from running smoothly and progressively got worse throughout the journey - severly jumping around 2000 - 2500 revs. after 200 miles the 'depollution' fault again appeared on the dash and the car then went into 'preservation' mode and now won't go above 60 mph - not great for a car supposedly 2.0L 136 BHP - looks like another trip back to the dealers - Not at all happy. Will definitely never ever buy a Peugeot again and will certainly never recommend one. It's just not worth the risk.
