Old news. Been discussed here just month ago.
That just shows how bad are some Peugeot Service Centers/Dealers
since the fault that has keep Mark busy has been "Antipollution
fault". He has had break fault, exhaust fault and about 28
times "Antipollution fault". They should have changed the electric
wiring loom but they didn't. Somewhere on the multiplex wires there
is a cut or bad connection.
I feel sympathy for the guy but perhaps there would've been more
sensible way to deal this. I think it is not allowed either to dump
cubics on the property of a car firm. I think he has to count that
fine on the top of his 13.999 budget.
My friend has had 3 new Peugeot on the row with no worries. 2 of
them has been 307. Electrics of 307 became reliable when PSA
switched from Sagem to Bosch.
And then there is this british workmanship. Worst quality Peugeots
were made in Ryton, England. PSA closed it, so not anymore.
This just resembles that when you talk about Peugeot this is news
but when you talk about toyota... Well, you just don't talk about
even if has been similar 'lemon'.
[QUOTE]Avalon shows dent in Toyota quality
Fixes sought for 'problematic vehicle'
Alan Seider has owned 11 Toyotas since 1982, but his 2006 Avalon
likely will be his last. He says quality glitches have bedeviled his
Toyota sedan, which he has driven less than 6,000 miles since he
bought it last July. His dealer could not solve the car's problems."

Some of you get real kick when Peugeot and problems are mentioned on
same sentence.
