Had our 307 Touring 2.0L serviced today. It's first real service based on time not kms! (Only done 10kkm in a year). This was my first experience with the new...
... That's what I said to him: Labour was $225 for the service(!) Parts $49.39 (mainly the filter and bit associated with that) Oil $83.25 (Magnatec 5w40) Misc...
Gee, I was thinking $320 for a Golf 15,000 service wasn¹t amazing value. Essentially it¹s a car wash, fancy car for the day and an oil change (full synth). ...
That is the price of Peugeot's "menu" priced service. A couple of years ago it was just over $300, but has gone up since. My minor service costs (Melbourne,...

Matthew, keep an eye on the front disc rotors they have a tendancy to warp, I suspect constant city stop start may give rise to this. Either way be persistant,...
... It's not the stuff that you can buy at the shops (which is semi-synth 10W40) and is only available in large quantities to dealers/garages. This stuff is...
Matt, with your rotors do you have the vibration all the time or just now and then or from a certain speed and not at other speeds? Darcy ... From: Matt Pozzi ...
The vibration comes on when braking generally above certain speeds, over time mind you. When it has set in I feel it noticeably around high speeds coming down...
My Coupe filter costs $28. I think I was paying about $23 for a 138 one. -- Cheers Simon ... http://RSM2006.206GTi.net http://peugeotclubqld.org.au ...
thanks Matt, I was intending not to bother with Peugeot and replace them with Brembo with those curved cuts in the surface and possible use either Lucas or TWR...
Yeah - I might supply my own oil. I'm thinking I'll take my car to: http://www.autostudio.com.au/index.htm next time. Used to take my wife's Golf there -...
Vibrartion while breaking has to do with warped rotors. Vibration while driving over some speed (e.g. over 125 km/h in both my of 307's from my first trip on...
Vibration while breaking can also have a lot to do with front suspension bush and alignment issues, too, by the way, especially if it occurs at low speeds. ...
Hi Matt, mine comes and goes, more like the sensation you get in a conventional with a crook wheel bearing, improperly tightened nut on the stub axle or crook...
My friend you are right, what you mention is a basic knowledge. But the problem we are discussing here this much complicated to solve! Most of the times, not...

I was also a victim of brake vibration; unfortunately, when they were rectified, no significant warping was measured! After so many reports I’m starting to...

I agree with you! There must be another explanation. My rotors were not warped enough to explain that. One was OK and the other was 0.02mm warped. After I...

One other factor in brake vibration is the material which the rotor is made and how it is made. If the material is not consistent you can have spots in the...

On the weekend I drove the car and had my GPS nav system in the car. I found it very hard to get satalite reception. When I put the reciever outside the car I...
The windscreen is athermic, which means it has a thin metal layer between the two sheets of glass. This is to cut down on the heat entering the cabin....
I haven't heard of this as a known problem with the 307, but I have seen exactly this behaviour in other cars. In these cases, the problem has been the...
Independently from the tipe or brand, the amount of oil consumption discussed here is far from acceptable. A diesel engine in good condition will not burn more...
