#17: Re: Most unreliable car Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sat Jul 09, 2011 9:53 am ---- In nearly 13 years of Pug onwer ship the only 1 that has ever broken down on me was the 406 when the timing belt snapped, something which Peugeot later recalled it on.
2 x 405 over 6 years & the 206 over another 6 years so far have never let me down yet

Yes but the price reflects how good they are.
In the 3 years of owning my jap cars never had to spend any money on them. only for servicing. Even after driving round alday with out any coolant in as the bottom hose came off.
since owning the pug we have spent over £1000 replacing bits on it. its like a new car now.

g/s is connected to a rod and the rod goes into the g/b I think the rod is loose? People who have fitted a quickshift kit (shorter rod) can confirm this

Would that be related to the gunk underneath and whats the damage cost wise?
