I knew a guy (who didn't know anything about cars) say he had a 5 cylinder V6!!!

If they use Peugeot specific diagnostics they should find the problem easily.Burger28 said:Booked in for Monday. Hopefully it's a quick, cheap fix and the first thing the code reader finds. I really don't want to be in and out of the garage constantly messing around for ages with mounting bills or I'll quickly lose patience with it
Tomas_90 said:I had a call from my garage aswell last tuesday saying that the car had 3 faults.
One was a cooling pump for the turbo that was not working at all apparently.
Second was a coil/ignition thing that had failed so the car only ran on 3 cylinders.
And then the timing chain rattled so they were gonna look into that someday now to see what's up with that. Haven't heard from them yet tho.
The service guy said he was gonna call Peugeot's "head office" or something to see if they were willing to pay for the timing chain issue thing but i really don't have any hopes for that, cause never in my lifetime have i seen someone paying for that kinda stuff if they didn't really have to.
Whole thing sounds terribly expensive to me and im not happy at all

It is time to take your car to Peugeot specialist :thumbup:

For me when I go searching for a car and get not quite what I was after, I end up buying another because it always eats me away until I get what I originally wanted. With the cost so close, another £5k on top for a 15 plate - seems good economics - plus the all important Sat-Nav.
Good luck and don't forget to post what you do eventually do, and some pics would be nice.
On a thought here Z'ers......
Now this will hurt some but hopefully most will understand where I am coming from.
This car is going to get chopped in most likely and then sold on to either a trader or unsuspecting public. Wouldn't it be good if the car, by either plate or VIN / model, ( VIN really ) had a computerised file that held all this information about past history and faults, including things like repairs - which could not be erased by a dealer, so that the next person can get the full story and the seller would have to put these problems right before selling.
This will have losers and winners, but the last thing you would want is to buy a " Lemon " because that's what you'd think and really it's a sick RCZ that someone has pushed back into the market ? This would restore confidence and lesson the chance of buying a lemon - gotta be a good thing.
I remember buying a 307cc ( one of many - lol ) which had 87K miles on clock, so I got the timing belt changed at a cost of about £350 - turns out it had already been done - but the garage did it again anyway cos that's what I asked them to do. Now that should have been recorded with the cars history. This would also show a cars reliability and help stay clear of bad ones...
Just a thought for the industry.
