1999 Peugeot 406 LX review from UK and Ireland
"What did I do wrong to deserve such a lemon?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear suspension arm failure.
Wipers went mad when gen2000 unit failed.
Entire electrical system shut down when water leaked into boot from poorly sealed rear light.
General comments?
Just as well it's comfy because it didn't go anywhere fast.
Cost more to repair during two years and 25k than my 405 gtx dt did in 4 years and 100k.
Anything that went wrong required a return to a Peugeot dealer due to the overcomplicated electrics and diagnostic systems.
