306!

I have a 306 XSi (1.8) from 1997 (bought new) and the problems I had were:

- A/C (needed refilling)

- Right window stuck (would not open)

- Erratic idle

Apart from that, only the regular maintenance. I'm very happy with it!

There seems to be a heck of a lot of problems with the 306 going by the amount of posts i've seen about them, does anyone actually have a problem free 306?? No offence meant but i'm kinda glad i didnt buy one of them, and went for a

406 instead! regards, Mark.

Erratic idle? Might be the coil. Is a weak item and if not replaced in time this will cost you an ECU as well, Together about ? 1100,-- . (The new design of the coil is a hidden failure of Peugeot)

best car I had (so far...)

2000 306 1.4 SW

Isn't it the case that people will complain or ask for help in newsgroups like this regarding the problems they have with their car, rather than say they are happy and had no problems unless asked of course. I have had both a 306 and 406 both been good runners and never had any trouble with either.

After having a 106 for a couple of years, until I decided to "upgrade", I'm on my 2nd 306 - my first was a '97 1.4LX with 106,000 miles problem free except regular servicing and the usual bits - cambelt, brakes, tyres etc. and I've now got a 2000 1.8 Meridian which appears to be problem free as well, so I'm happy unlike a lot of people I know with other brands of car who constantly moan about garage bills - esp. Fiat and Rover!! Matt

It was some years ago, but I remember the repair was not expensive at all, and note that I live in Portugal, where expensive, for me, is something greater than 500 EUR...

Heh heh, i wouldnt touch fiat with a barge pole! I liked my escort (the car!!) lots and did alot to it, but it was about

Bof. Mine has some quirks, but considering it's 10y old, w/250000+ km and had a few crashes, I consider it's not bad at all.

Have to say we've had our 306 for over five years, and it's the only car I've kept for more than 2 years. Had no more problems than any other car. We also have a 406, which has had a few problems over the past 2 years, but it has got 160,000 miles on it, so you'd expect some things. Either way, both cars are so nice to drive that the problem they do have is easily forgiven and forgotten when you get back behind the wheel. Maybe there's more postings about 30's becasue there's more of them on the road and also, they're starting to get on a bit now, and may need some tlc,
