What about 307?

307 is good. All you need to do is

1. Adhere strictly to the changing your timing belt as at when due. And if you suspect your engine is leaking oil. Fix it on time, never let it reach the area where your timing belt is.

2. Do not remove your thermostat or convert fan to direct. Leave it at manufactures settings.

3. Buy original parts and get a *Peugeot Mech* to fix for you.

If you can do these things... You have no issues.

If you need help with these, you can reply. I use a 206.

Thanks a lot for this. I have two certified PAN mechanics in my office premises. How's the maintenance cost and fuel consumption like? Thanks in anticipation.

Fuel consumption is superb, just don't convert fan or remove thermostat. And never allow cut cut desires cut your car electrical wires or work on it.

Ladipo has tokunbo parts and there are dealers of OEM parts in Lagos and Ibadan. Brand new parts are expensive but for some components, they are better.

Lower arms and linkage, buy brand new. Timing belt and alternator belt, buy brand new.

Oil filter and fuel filter, buy brand new.

Others can be tokunbo

Kaduna has PAN, your surest plug but their services are expensive. May be you just buy parts from them and get a local mech to fix for you.

In all you do, just don't let your timing cut. That's all

Hi Sir, your comment is one year now.

But i find it relevant.
Pls do you still use your 206?
And do you use it for Uber/Bolt

Yes, I still have my 206. And it's still kicking well.

I don't do Uber. I use it personally. But it can do Uber as it's highly fuel efficient and the engine is strong. Just follow the instructions I gave initially.

Thanks much for your response.

So if I was to use it for Uber. Do you think it won't fail me?
I mean if i follow all your instructions, I'll not have Electrical issues frustrations because that's what I hear the most.

Thanks Comrade.

What causes electrical issues is when rewires do cut cut on your electrical components, bypassing and channelling wires. It will work for some time but later start failing and causing headaches.

Parts are plenty at Ladipo for Peugeot, have a good mech and as a Uber person, change to original timing belt, at the recommended time

Hello brother, I'm looking at getting a 307, how efficient is it too? I have bolt hustle in mind.

It's good also. It even has a stronger rear axle than 206. Uses timing belt too. So, adhere to recommended change dates.

And No Toyota mech can fix your Peugeot unless they are taught. Ordinary change of timing belt, they will sweat and not get it, that's if they by miracle did not knock the engine for you
