It may be that after a period of time, there was the one and the other of defects will occur

I bought this car in late 2009, for a reasonable price. The color is white, giving him very good condition! The car stood in neat, maintenance was in the service book, ex-lease car, so assumed that all this would be good. Bought without a warranty and no new MOT (was still half a year), a risk! But thus been given a tight price.

You know never really what you buy. It may be that after a period of time, there was the one and the other of defects will occur.

My first impression of the 1.4 HDI was good. I had not really good or bad expectations, I had simply never driven.
I had not expected that it would really be a slow car, such as HDI is still a modern engine, but who knows!

In any case, I found the car definitely not slow. I had this 150 turbocharged horsepower, I must say that I've missed so far.

0-100 is not really to write home (according to the specs almost 17 seconds, but I feel it's all about really what rapper) between accelerations are just good order.
You can also get along well with the traffic. Also on the highway, it's all fine.
Top speed is around 160 km / h on the clock. Not really hard, but hard enough. You can fine 140 km / h drive.
Furthermore, there is not really such a diesel sound onboard engine is pretty quiet, and once up to speed, I can not call the car certainly lawaaig.

What really struck me immediately was the very good handling. The car is really like a kart. This I certainly did not expect.
The steering is precise, it is good hard cornering through without losing grip. There are Michelin Energy Saver tires under, not my favorite (s), but they meet.
I think this car with a faster engine and wider tires still pretty tight going through the corner.

I bought this car with 196,000 km, and now there is 201 000 km on.
I have about 5,000 km ridden in two months time.
In any case, I have nothing to criticize in the car.
He does not vibrate, does not rattle, this 307 is in any case definitely together!
Oil consumption has hitherto virtually nothing, the oil level is lowered, coolant level either, okay so!
Pre-heating is not necessary, IUD is not one second yet, and is also below again. At -10, the contact order and spin.

Control is just as I said earlier in order. Brakes meet certain well, they would be allowed to hold some bruusker me, but does the job.

My 1.4 HDI is one of the "crisis" type, there is some embellishment, but really luxurious, it is not called again.

There's an XS pack, ie leather steering wheel and poker, and silver / gray accents in the dashboard, and well-fitting, black-clad "sport" seats (so have good support on the side).
Furthermore, there is air conditioning, and more ... Nothing!
Electric windows and mirrors, you should sway.
There is no matching Peugeot radio, no rear speakers, bedraging this even missing.
The radio does not matter, am happy with a good head unit, which certainly sounds better than the standard stuff.
Wiring I find it a pity.
But ... what is not can not play. No ESP, no other gimmicks ... So far I miss not really.

A few little things that you do not really expect, but there are at:
- Windscreen wipers going into the interval mode langzaamer if you stand still.
- The brakes are a quick kick in the brake pedal suddenly a lot more powerful, the car down as it were, the pedal for you, then go flashing lights.


The vebruik!
To date gives the 5.9-liter on-board computer as average consumption at 100 km. Pretty neat.
At 80 km / h consumes about 4 liters / 100 km according to the display.
At 120 5.5. When accelerating shoot until about the 10th, but drops below again.
I think that with careful driving, you can easily arrive at an average of 1:20.

Comfort!
The car is jerky, but I do also a Citroen, so that could explain it. He is uncomfortable in any case certainly not. The suspension is more sporty.

Up to now, very satisfied.
1230 kg really is not very much for a large car like this. Are you still under 1250 kg, making the road tax would be something more.
The 2.0 HDI sitting here so well about, especially in "SW" models.

Furthermore, one sees that it is "only" a 1.4 HDI. A 2.0 HDI HDI is behind the same nameplate.
Still good (204,000 km)A month on, but now since mid-December to 8000 km away, and had so far been no problem. I have not a penny spent on, except for the diesel.

Consumption is still around 1:16, not really economical.
Lately still a lot of mileage.

The speed, the consumption surely higher, at 120 is if you do not wind against you, about 6 liters per 100 km, but if you go 80/90 indicates the meter only 3.5 / 4 liters by 1000 km to, you can make mileage!

I will as yet another two months to drive, hereafter I will if it is good to get a company car, and then I no longer need him myself, since I still live / work traffic going to do with the other cars .. . The kilometers flying now over, I must say.
Many people still run away quickly if they want to buy a car, and have walked if more than 2 tons. I see no problems, others unfortunately.

This is why I still prefer diesel Keep going, just suits me very well. The quiet running, fuel consumption, I do like a grumpy diesel knock early in the morning, no matter how crazy it sounds!
Alhowel I must say that it certainly did not grumble in the morning. -10 Degrees and still cultivated a walk!

Meanwhile I also rode with different VW's TDI engine. You notice that this one eagerly hang on the gas.
Logical, less horsepower.
Well I must say that I feel with my 307 having "more" car than a Golf V of the same year! Better finish, better materials.

What I have noticed is that if you give gas, a break in between before actually also what will happen.
The TDI's what I'm talking about, who immediately climbing speed, but the 307 is indeed as if there is a computer in between which has yet to calculate a thing (which is also true).

But I do not see that as a loss. It is simply not a fast car, but I have to say again that I lack PK's no missed once.

Even the lamps do even after 8000 km. Apparently I just had a good copy because no problem. No broken lights, beeps and / or creaks or other discomfort.
Climate control Replacing bulbs (205,000 km)These lights were already a while (something that does not work!), The one on the other day.

I've waited a moment with it, because you still have to get loose some things.

All in all not too bad. 2 screws loose in the ashtray, center console release, two screws for the climate control unit separately, unit sliding their rear, little spin, so you can turn the lights out of the back of the unit. This is a bit puny.
I replaced three lights (which all of them are), 2 for the unit itself, and one in the ashtray.
Total cost: € 2.10.

All in all it was not too bad, everything works again!

I also have the headlights featuring Philips Blue Vision, as well as dim high beam.
The old lights were good, but had no white appearance.
When I had taken out proved it to be normal cheap seeds.
All in all not cheap, but it does sound more light!
In daylight it seems really still not Xenon, but in the dark gives it anyway a white / blue effect, but still not the real thing, of course.
New MOT (206.000 km)Like every year there was a new MOT on my first for this car.
Fortunately, no items were found, apart from that there are apparently two lights the third brake light were broken. These are made, no further details!

Equal to do maintenance, new engine oil, gear oil, so he can stand in there again.

So far covered the cost with me, because apart from the MOT and the maintenance (and of course insurance, road tax and fuel), not a penny this car took me to maintenance.
Consumption (209.000 km)Gives the car after almost 15,000 km at an average consumption of 5.8L in 100km. Not bad, considering I do not pay attention to consumption, and not going to drive extremely carefully.

If you're more relaxed driving with this car / motorcycle fine to drive 1:20.

In the meantime I have replaced all rear lights, because there was always one broke, I replaced it than one, but soon went the other way whatsoever broken.
All in all a cost of 10 euros for about eight lights in total.
New consumption (210,000 km)I tried to watch some more on my driving.
I come from an average consumption of 1:22 or 4.6 liters per 100 km.
I think if I was going to take more account of consumption, I can come at 1:25, which I certainly did not seem bad, it's still a pretty big car.
However, a problem (212.000 km)A while ago I unfortunately could not start. Starter did go around, but that was it.
I knew there was a hand pump if you have driven empty the tank to the engine. So that's the first thing I looked at.
I noticed immediately that there was obviously a lot of air in the fuel line and the tank was definitely not empty.
A pair of pumps, and yes, autostart immediately.

As a search on the Internet, and it became quickly apparent that this apparently is a problem that often occurs.
The fuel lines run behind the engine, under the air filter through.
The vibrations wear this through eventually.
Here you do not get identical fuel leak, but the system draws air in when you turn off the engine. The fuel is returned to the tank, and you can not start.

Of course I was not sure, so I brought him to a garage. Optionally, to overcome this problem.
At the Peugeot dealer can buy an overhaul kit and install it, then it should be good.
But also because I really did not want to screw off the engine all that plastic, I brought him away.

Two days later, and 300 euros lighter, everything was fine again.
The fuel pipes / hoses were replaced with new, cost 150 euros, 70 euros investigation costs, and the remainder wages.

Since then, no more problems.
After more than 15,000 km, with a mileage of 212,000, I will forgive the car. For the rest, I had no problem.

Do but as fitted a new air filter for 15 euro itself, the old had surely had its day.
Oil leakage (213,000 km)Pity. In a short period, again a problem. But on the other hand, the "only" second problem after 20,000 trouble-free kilometers.

After the car to have put away one night, the next morning everything was covered in oil.
Soon I saw where it came from somewhere in the turbo.

I hoped not, of course, it was the turbo itself, for it is rather pricey.

I got him to spend the next day directly to the garage, it turned out to be just an oil line, it was flexible and had become loose, with a hefty leakage as a result.

This is quickly repaired, and replaced by a fixed pipe, and no flexible hose.
However, the car has a decent time drip stand after everything, after all, was also among the garage has unfortunately not all neatly cleaned.

Following its several times well cleaned the bottom plate under the engine, not seen drops.

Oil consumption has been buying very little. I have in the 20.0000 km only half a liter at having to fill (for the leak itself, I do have a lot to be filled).

Since then everything again dry. Meanwhile, the counter stands at almost 216,000 km and 3000 km seen no oil.

Typically, the last and only two repairs are typical for this engine. The fuel return hose which punctured because it rubs against the engine, and the oil return tube.

Further, the diesel consumption after 7000 km 5.2 liters per 100 km.
More KM's (221,000 km)My girlfriend is go work out, and therefore uses the HDI and I GTI.

The consumption was about 10,000 km (9,000 stops the counter), 5.6 L, 100 KM.

Currently, the 2000 KM of 5.0 L 100 KM.

Furthermore, had no more problems.
New steering wheel and floor mats (225,000 km)While ago I replaced the wheel for a better one.
When old leather steering wheel peeling leather is just starting, and it was not pretty, and did somewhat detract from the rest of the car, which still stands neatly with this mileage.

I also replaced the mats original Peugeot mats (felt), which cost 65 euros at the dealership.
Maybe the price, but at least they fit properly.
Drivers mat that had become quite thin, and moved constantly up and down.
Mats Halfords do not fit well, and I think therefore money thrown away!

Meanwhile there is an agreement for a new MOT, timing belt and brakes before.
Furthermore, there are not really any remarks, except that everything still works!
New timing belt + APK (227.000 km)Last week installed a new belt, including tensioners, et cetera. Was 360 euros ready, including new MOT (no details).
So is not so bad. The dealer asked 450 euros only for the timing belt. This I have to do to see a specialist, so that was cheaper.
Few details (237.000 km)Unfortunately, little to say, because in the meantime there has been nothing really exciting.
Now back over 10,000 km away, yet not a drop of oil at having to fill, consumption still 1:20.

The mats that I had bought previously felt, wear this. Oddly enough I'm there already through (there's a hole in). The last that held much longer, but had grown ugly .... but poor quality I would say for those 65 euros.
Crappy update (256,000 km)Meanwhile, tens of thousands of kilometers away, some APKs, and replaced once oil but still had no problems. As far as I still know the original clutch.

Consumption still around 1:20 oil still negligible.

Given this mileage and yet it's been an older car to be, I have to say that everything is still firmly in each other, interior nowhere broken, no rattles or creaks.

Yet one thing! The battery was bad. Starting was definitely in colder weather slowly. Cars have hit almost immediately, but starter went slowly.
Bought a new Varta batteries, and with no more problems for 100 euros.
No particulars (278,000 km)Now back over 20,000 km further, but had no details in the meantime (touch wood). APK further once oil changed, got him once let out lines.
Consumption in the last 9999 km (the counter does not go), 5.3 liters per 100 km (according to the on-board computer).
Secretly look for a new one in 2008, but there is really no reason to do the car, since everything still works.
done some service points (292,000 km)It was time to leave after the car's look and immediately fresh MOT on it. The APK itself was not a problem, but were quite a number of points:

- Steering rods were stuck and had to be replaced, which was also play on.
- Exhaust leak.
- Number rubbers here and replace.
- Brake discs / pads replaced.
- Some other issues.

When asked for the Peugeot tender, costs 1,000 euros together. I would like to replace the insulation in the exhaust manifold, it was not pretty anymore.

The question was a little bit to get this money still to stabbing and still share your ride, or car selling and buying back some innovators.
Finally decided to do anything, because the car is in order and I have never abandoned.

Eventually leave for 750 euros to make another garage (was mounting an outlet where they 1,5 hours still down a bit too much of a good thing).

Actually this is the only major maintenance for a long time. Immediately have replaced all liquids such as oil, coolant, brake fluid and power steering fluid.

So the car can turn to the next 100,000 km!

In the meantime, no oil at having to fill, simply consumed little. Fuel consumption according to the onboard computer in the last 9999 km 5.3 liters per 100 km.
New show mounting straps (300,000 km)After 100,000 km it was time to replace the tires. They had run out and need replacing. Chose the same tires, Michelin Energy Savers, good tires and long life (pretty much highway mileage).
Maintenance (315.000 km)The mileage is so high that some service points where we still decided to do this because our car has never leave. He's not fast, but it always does.
Do not look so much special to do with new MOT, oil changes and air conditioning allow refilling. Additionally (jammed) a caliper had to be replaced behind, therefore, but immediately let the other, and new brake pads. For the rest really little details. Consumption measured about 10,000 kilometers 5.4 liters per 100 km, oil consumption is virtually nil. Do not have a quart of oil at having to fill.
In addition, replace the injector seals, which she puffed, know that it is a point to this engine, because the car is doing more good, replaced too.
Small between Sale (looking back to 2009) (318,000 km)Meanwhile, back a few 1000 km. Actually only runs bring my wife back to work / children.
The car will be used every day, day in and day out. Actually stands no day still.
Of all the cars I've had, this is one of the more reliable. I am just in time to do something, but now say that I've had really big surprises ...

think one reason is that the 1.4 HDI is not a very technologically predictive engine. It is a small engine with a turbo on it, nothing more.
In addition, this type is 1, so the car is less connected to the "computer" than the model which comes after here. So in that case, perhaps a lower risk of computer failures.

There are now greater distances ridden, so it consumes too falls with it.

I myself have a car from work so I drive so little self with, only on weekends. Thus it is that it certainly is not a nimble car, but supple. Picks up just fine on (even considering the mileage), and does what he has to do ...

Get there to watch that he, after so many kilometers, it does so well. Of course you have some wear here and there.

Remember to have done a good sale. If I search for a car of 4.5 years (because that was the age when), there are only a few that for the same sort of amount + 1000 euro for sale anymore. Usually it white or yellow cars with the same kind of mileage (around 2 tonnes).

Keep so but just ride as long to he no longer works. Think there is still a next tire change and perhaps even a distribution substitution is in ...
Moved (322,000 km)We moved so we need to drive much less with it. However, the purchase of another car would mean anyways money for a car which should probably even older.
Am planning to keep the car for the time being, even if it is not completely accounted for more in terms of finances. However much it costs not again; € 100 road tax in the month, 20 euros insurance (wa + hull +), and 1000 km with a tank. A gasoline consumption still too soon 1:10, so believe it or come out the same, and all of it will be slightly more expensive, you only need to fill up with little.

've Had the plugs of the headlights (connection with lamp) were rotten. Did they just replaced all equal, they have put there other plugs on, was 50 euros lost.
Sold (332.000 km)Because the car was too expensive to keep him away, sold for a song. Nobody had that interest until we lowered the price to 1150 euros. Eventually sold for 1050 euros and transfer also came to my account! I think we could still be happy with this. Because although really all the maintenance is done, I had a stack of bills houses high, people find such a car as this apparently worthless unfortunately ... But what do you want with such a kilo numbers tooth ...
