206

A piece of art badly backed
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine management failed in a box junction. The AA had to move the vehicle which caused a huge tailback.

Fan belt squeaking.

Dash rattles.

Back seat retension bar rubbing on the seat.

Anti-roll bar at the front and rear became loose.

Squeaky brakes.

Gruff sounding engine after three days of ownership.

Engine mounts went, causing a tapping/knocking noise when you start the engine or go over a bump.

Dealer fitted spoiler came off while I was driving.
General comments?
Completely poor car, I spoke to a person at Peugeot customer services. He told me that I had only paid £12,000. That is what you get; it is not a Rolls Royce.

Dealers were poor.

In the end, I sold the car and purchased a nice Fiesta Zetec-S.

Car is badly designed and backed by both the manufacturer and dealers.

A real shame for such a nice little car.
