Hello all. My 2.0L 307XSE has just hit 80k & I'm up for a new set of tyres. Last time I put Pirelli P7's on because that was what was on the car when I bought...
Don't go with the P6000s, they are an old design. With tyres I always look at the latest developments. I'm using Yokohama C-Drives on my Coupe. I also had...
I think the P6000s are evil. My 206GTI had them as OEM. I quite like the Yokohama C-Drives - they're pretty good at sticking to the road, handling etc and not...
Also consider the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, an excellent tyre. Very good grip both in wet and dry and pretty good value for a performance tyre. I had two sets...
Hello all, I am following this discussion with interest. My Goodyear NCTs (16 inch) are up to 44,000km. Looks like I have about 6000 to go before replacement...
Hello guys, i have just installed a new CDA-9853R Alpine in order to have control of my ipod. Now i am looking for a way to connect it directly to the remote...
I'm getting mine done on Tuesday. Quoted $1,100.00 and they need the car overnight. Not only that but then they wanted to charge me $25.00 for a loan car. We...
Apparently the 80k service takes 8.5hrs. They're doing everything according to the book (timing belt, all fluids etc, etc). I'm not requesting enything extra...
Thanks for all the feedback. Looks like I'll go for the Yokohama AC01's. I can get them for $195ea fitted & balanced. Also considering the Goodyear PP2's at a...
Hmmm. The 80k service on my 206GTi (same 2.0L engine as 307) took 4hrs. It was the standard major service for the car, ie no worn-out brake components to...
I understood it was recommended practice to change the waterpump at the same time otherwise all the labor charges will have to apply again when it fails. Darcy...
The relationship between Peugeot/dealer and myself has not been very cordial and I do not intend to have them touch the car anymore. 307 touring 2.0 hdi auto ...

The water pump should be replaced because it is acted like the other pulleys by the timing belt. So, its normal that its bearing and seals worn-out. It's so...

... I would suggest if the car is still under warranty = less than 3yrs old then keep the water pump and if it fails its a claim. ... claudio.nogueira@......

The problem is that one of the water pump failure modes is berings getting blocked. If it happens, goodbye engine. The timing belt brakes or looses its timing,...

... Water pumps don't just fail like that. Renault are not Peugeot so thats not a good example, Also I said don't change it if the car was still within the...

The time difference can probably be associated with the fact that I'm in Newcastle. Mechanics must work slower in the country!...
I have a 307 HDi hatchback auto with 6,000 km travelled. Maybe I'm lucky but its oil level is still OK. It's 6 months old and now due for a service. Judging by...
... What you should do is check your log book and see just what they do for the 10,000km service. (thats the yellow page) It does not include oil or filter but...

I had my 206GTis water pump checked at the 80k interval and it was fine, so it wasn't replaced. It is not part of the schedule, some dealers just do it ...
My dealer is in Lismore, even more country than Newcastle, and cheaper labour rates. -- Cheers Simon ... http://RSM2006.206GTi.net http://peugeotclubqld.org.au...
Funny, how would you like to pull the mobile phone connector out of the cigarette lighter socket and have that and a good portion of the dashboard in your hand...
Its almoust impossible to predict a bearing or seal failure. If the waterpump bearing and seals are ok at 100.000km, is not probable that it will stay like...
