pug 307 diesel
Discussion
If its 1.6 diesel you're looking for, service history is the main priority. Make sure the oil has been changed at the required times and that the correct grade has been used. If not, they eat turbos \ egr valves. Cheap oil degrades and blocks the turbo feed pipes leading to another turbo, it can be a constant battle. Otherwise they are comfy and practical. I liked ours but sold it when the turbo popped for the second time.
More for other eejits coming across this later, and thinking of a 307
Also got a petrol 1.6 16v 307 and the family have added circa 80k to it, so while not a great fan of 307's, nearly 200k and almost 10 years of them show they are not all bad if you get a reasonably good one.
- Blower working on all settings 1,2,3&4 otherwise a £300 fix
- abs sensors start causing hassle
- indicator stalk make sure working correctly, early ones are weak
- carpet comes adrift in footwell - so make sure wires not chaffed.
- alternator pulley wheels sheer off on 2.0 diesels (twice for me over about 120k miles)
- coil packs can go on the petrols (check rough running when cold)
- suspension needs regular refreshing of bushes, drop links & wishbones.
