1999 Peugeot 405 review from Iran
"I hate it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Many carburator problems.
Engine head is very sensitive to heat, It melted twice.
After all the abuse the engine has passed it`s block finally blew, and I sold it to a mechanic for very cheap.
There were also many problems that I can`t remember, it`s unreliable.
General comments?
General comments?
The car interior was in good shape, and well kept.
The car is very slow, not just it`s 1.6, it`s also very heavy.
The fuel consumption is high, althought it`s only 1.6
The only good thing I can say that it is simple to fix and it has a strong body.
