Here is one Accelera test: Overall - Finishing bottom of the table in nearly every test secured the Accelera its last place, however EVO noted it wasn't as bad as some of the other budgets tested in previous years. As is the norm with budget tyres, it was capable in the dry but lacked grip...
Two types of pump, if I remember (?) 156 is far cheaper, the R and 200 are much more expensive circa £450. HPFP on it's way out throws coil pack codes and also from my experience and other posts leads to coil packs failing sometimes as a consequence/result and then going on to the pump itself...
Hope you get it sorted soon, horrid start to ownership but dealer you bought if from should replace it. My hpfp went on my R at low mileage.....guess they're just not up to the high pressures needed for direct injection as so many seem to fail at low mileages.
Get a code reader on it...but with a crystal ball Iwill kick off the bidding with the fuel pump, if it is petrol. What mileage is it? History? Warranty?
good job you didn't touch the brakes what with the piston corrosion and amount the discs cost to replace!;)
Went out for a quick blat as the roads were dry today.
What worried me is the chattering is an indication of it's demise, I realised it could last for ages as my car is low mileage and loads of DMF's chatter from around 30K but if it did go it would probably take the 'box with it and with 270bhp that played on my mind as did the embarrassing noises...
it goes back to Peugeot on exchange basis
Top end.....oil issues? Oil pump failure, low oil........don't think it would be excessive wear given forged block/Mahle pistons......agree though on the R heat is definitely an issue so keeping tabs on oil and coolant important.
Jeez, are you sure you want an R?
By the time you have pissed about doing all that you could have a nice new set of discs and pads. The pistons on my R are not corroded, the car is not used in Winter which helps and Peugeot provided new discs, pads and calipers prior to my ownership.
There are...
All sounds very woolly. Be interested to see if they honour the price once they actually 'rectify' the faults, even if the brake job is around £800 for discs and pads and not £1800. Either that or they don't appear to know what they're selling which works well for you IF the warranty they supply...
