CD player jammed within 24 hours. Noone (including the dealer or Peugeot Australia) appears to be able to work out the correct part to replace it, despite it being to the dealer 3 times, including the player being taken out and all relevant numbers recorded. Still waiting after 3 months.
Anti-pollution fault light came on within 24 hours. Occurs every time it is started. Has been checked at least 3 times by the dealer, but no fault found.
Vibration in car when in Drive and held with brake (eg at traffic lights). Has been checked at least 3 times and declared 'within specifications'. If this is the case, it is a bad advertisement for Peugeot, as I drive plenty of other automatic cars (including a 20-year old Volvo) which DON'T have this problem.
Apart from the small faults mentioned above, this car is a pleasure to drive, especially on secondary roads. It gives a quiet, smooth ride, and handles any bumps with ease.
Performance is adequate, without being outstanding, and fast speeds can be maintained due to the good handling and excellent brakes.
Fuel consumption is very good, especially if the in-dash instantaneous readout is used to modify driving. It clearly shows that fuel consumption is closely related to how heavy the right foot is. Fuel consumption is around 10.5 l/100km in the city, and 6.5-7 on the open road.
Anti-pollution fault comming on the car. what is causing it and why is it coming on? it will not rev other 3000.
Our car has just gone down with the antipollution fault and will not rev over 3000. Help!

ANTI-POLLUTION FAULT SOLUTION :
This occurs because of the sensitivity of the fuel injectors, what you need to do is when adding fuel combine it with injector cleaner. This happened to my 406 because I allowed the fuel to reach as low that the warning light came on, DON'T EVER DO THAT, if there are any sediments in the tank it would be picked up and get into your injectors signalling this ANTI-POLLUTION FAULT to come on. When this happened to me I knew why so I filled the tank with fuel and the injector cleaner and ran the car on the highway at about 140 km/hr for about 10 minutes, switch off for a couple minutes then switch back on, The warning would be gone. This causes the contamination in the line to be forced out of the injectors. In your case just have to get your injectors cleaned and probably your lines blown out.

Letting the tank empty will not cause any sediment problems, as when you are driving the fuel is sloshing around the tank anyway, and that is why you have filters.
Use better fuel, Peugeots are very sensitive to fuel.
