Maybe peug got some reliability problem. But i saw fews on  nice 407 even 206 still running on the road. Peug for life also maybe.

I am now hunting for 7seater SUV. And 5008 in my top list until CX8 come out.

Not sure why Pug is having issues with their TC engines. Other car manufacturers are doing OK or not having as much reliability problems related to the TC engines. Why?

basically they use bmw engine (old engine but still a relatively new tech)..but not sure whats the problem. from experience (family used to own pug) those prob is avoidable.

oh the prince engine? that thing is crap, and more of  Pug than a BMW. Later on Bimmers with smaller engine capacity needs started using the 3 potter 1.5L B38. Now Bimmer even has an underpowered B48 2.0L rated for 318i applications. So the 2.0L B48 is being used for 318i, 320i, and 330i.

So Bimmer dumped Pug's Prince and went their own way for their smaller cars; didn't know Pug kept the platform

pug still runs on prince engine. yeap the engine focus more on pug/citroen or mini. after that bmw use b38 for bmw/mini. actually for suv i'd prefer if pug malaysia venture more on their 2.2HDI engine. strong on torque.

don't blame the engine.  engine alone only contributes to a small percentage of its problems.  other unreliable parts include

hpfp
alternator
air con cooling coil
air con compressor
roof lining
timing chain tensioner
electro valve

PART 2 TBC. ( im just waiting for some stubborn guy to insist that Peugeot is not unreliable)
