1991 Peugeot 205 XRD 1.7 diesel
Summary:
An excellent low maintenance city car
Faults:
Front right fork had to be replaced on 180 000 km.
Front suspension rubber parts make unpleasant noises in dry weather, I have tried to add some grease, helps for some time.
Breaks renewed on 120 000 km.
Fuel preheater caused problems with air in the fuel, I by-passed it and had no problems since.
General Comments:
Good, reliable, gives about 20 km/l, (5l/100km), never failed me or left me on the road.
Performances are satisfactory, we are talking about 1800 cc, 65 HP diesel!!
Very silent, especially in comparison with my previous car.
I often forget on which side is my fuel tap...:)
An overall pleasure to drive.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
