1997 Peugeot 406 Coupe review from UK and Ireland
"Designed by masters, engineered by chimps"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing!
General comments?
I'd had a car a little over a month when I drove through about 9” of water for about 20m in a flood when it all went dead permanently. Apparently those lovely engineers at Peugeot decided to put the air intake just above just a few inches higher than the engine sump. Long story short, the cat sucked water in to the engine, and the H2O compression wrecked the engine. Peugeot said 6k and we will fit a new engine. The car cost 4.7k to buy; insurance gave me 4k.
I would never even cast a glance on a Peugeot ever again, let alone drive one!
